His first trip to China in 1988 lasted days and he had to change planes and then took a train journey from Hong Kong to Beijing. Now it takes only 13 hours to fly non-stop from Toronto to Beijing. And during his first two years in China he had to write letters to his family. It took two weeks for the mail to arrive in Ottawa and another two weeks for him to get a reply (回信). “Now, everything has changed. I could talk with my parents on mobile phone and it costs only 4 yuan a minute. Of course we can also talk free on the Internet,” he said.“We couldnt see many foreigners in China then. But nowadays there are more and more foreigners in China. Many of them speak good Chinese. This is only natural, because as China opens more and develops more, China becomes stronger, more and more foreigners want to learn more about China,” he also said.Why are there so many changes?
