My Hometown: FuZhou City(福州市)

Fuzhou has Gulou District, Taijiang District, Cangshan District, Mawei District, Jin'an District, Changle District, Fuqing City, Minhou County, Luoyuan County. Lianjiang County, Pingtan County, Minqing County, Yongtai County (the levels of these 13 regions are all counties). Fuzhou has a total land area of 11,968 square kilometers, a total sea area of 110,900 square kilometers, a coastline of 1,137 kilometers and a resident population of 7.57 million.

Because Fuzhou is a coastal city, many people in Fuzhou are fishermen. The fishermen will bring a lot of seafood to the people of Fuzhou. Those seafood products are very delicious. No one in Fuzhou likes to eat seafood that is more than 24 hours old because Fuzhou people like to eat fresh seafood. In Chinese, seafood is two words, fresh is also two words. In Chinese, the two words are “xin” and “xian”. “Xin” means new, “xian” means live. Or the Chinese pinyin of the .and seafood that was just slaughtered (pinyin is the phonetic symbol in English) is "hai xian", there is also a "xian" in the seafood, "hai" means sea in Chinese. So not only Fuzhou People like to eat fresh things, and all Chinese people like to eat fresh things. In Chinese, it is rarely composed of two words, fish and sheep. Because fish and sheep are very fresh foods, Fuzhou people also like to eat lamb. All Chinese also like to eat lamb. When I want to eat seafood in Fuzhou, I will go to my grandfather because my grandfather’s house is a few hundred meters away from the beach so I can eat the freshest seafood there. For example, I am still fishing in the sea. I cook seafood at home in the next second. My favorite seafood is "Razorfish". You may think that Razorfish is disgusting, but Fuzhou people don't think it is because Razorfish is a very delicious food. In Fuzhou, you rarely eat very long and very thin Razorfish because Fuzhou people do not like to eat long Razorfish, Fuzhou people like to eat the shorter Razorfish because the shorter Razorfish tastes better than the longer Razorfish. In the winter of Fuzhou every year, many fishermen buy Razorfish seedlings (very small Razorfish), and when the sea water recedes, the fishermen will bury the Razorfish seedlings in the mud under the sea. After half a year, the fishermen will Put the soil out of the sea and find the Razorfish you planted. When you find the Razorfish you planted, they have grown bigger. Fuzhou people have a lot of ways to cook Razorfish. One of my favorite cooking methods is to open the shell of Razorfish, remove the meat inside, then prepare a bowl, add sweet potato powder to the bowl, add two eggs, and then add some seasonings. Then I stir the Razorfish meat in a bowl and finally fry the Razorfish. When Fuzhou people harvest a lot of Razorfish, they will dry the meat of Razorfish in the sun. Every summer in China, I will help my mother to do it. The dried Razorfish meat is called "Dry Razorfish", and Dry Razorfish can Raw food can be used to cook soup or Fry Dish. The price of Dry Razorfish is 300 RMB per pound (300 RMB is about 50 USD), but Dry Razorfish can't be found in all Asian supermarkets in the US, so many Fuzhou people living in the US will buy a lot of Dry Razorfish from Fuzhou to the US. So there are a lot of Dry Razorfish in my house because I am also a Fuzhou person.

Fuzhou is still a developing city because Fuzhou is now demolishing small houses on a large scale and then building those houses like 30-story, and Fuzhou is still building a subway. It takes only 5 years to build a subway line in Fuzhou. Now there are only two subway lines in Fuzhou. Fuzhou plans to have six subway lines working in 2020, but everyone should know that China's manufacturing speed is particularly fast, so the six subway lines in Fuzhou may be planned. Near my home of in China, there is a subway station with a new subway line. It is a subway station on the 6th line of Fuzhou Metro. The subway station has been completed, but it is also at other subway stations on Line 6 of Fuzhou Metro. Not completed, Fuzhou Metro Line 6 will start work on December 31, 2020, so this means that Fuzhou Metro Line 6 will be built in the months before December 31, 2020. Fuzhou Metro Line 6 is an international school from Fuzhou's downtown area to Fuzhou, but Fuzhou Metro Line 6 will also extend the subway line from Fuzhou International School to Fuzhou International Airport. Fuzhou Metro is the same as the subway in other cities in China. The China Metro was introduced in Boston, USA in 2017. It is very fast and very cheap. I have experienced Fuzhou Metro Line 1 in Fuzhou. The Fuzhou Metro Line 1 is very clean, and if you want to enter Fuzhou Subway Station, you have to go through a security check, it was like a security check on the plane. When I went to Fuzhou Metro Line 1, I had a bottle of water in my hand, so the security personnel let me drink a bit of water from my hand, so this subway is very safe, and when it rains in Fuzhou, you can borrow an umbrella at the Fuzhou subway station. There will be a lot of people in Fuzhou Metro from 7am to 9am and from 5pm to 7pm in the afternoon, because 7am to 9am is the time for people to go to work, 5pm to 7pm is the time for people to get off work, so at 7am to 9am and 5pmt To 7pm, every train in Fuzhou Metro is 6 minutes, and at other times it is 9 minutes per train. In China's public transportation equipment, everyone has to let pregnant women and the elderly and disabled people sit on seats, then children, but children also have to give seats to pregnant women and the elderly and disabled people. This is a Chinese tradition because we have accepted this kind of education when we were very young, but I didn't see it in the United States. Every subway in China plays Chinese, English and local dialects (a language spoken by locals), which makes it easier for people who know English without knowing Chinese to travel in China. However, everyone can only hear English in the subway in New York, and there are many Chinese people in New York, so why there is no Chinese on the subway in New York? I think this is not very good. There are also high-speed railways and powertrains in China. They are very fast. The fastest high-speed railway in China can reach 600 kilometers per hour. So China completed the high-speed railway from Hong Kong to Beijing in 2018, so from Hong Kong to Beijing. It only takes 9 hours. So the speed of the high-speed railway is only a little slower than the plane, and the high-speed railway is cheaper than the plane. In China, you can also use mobile phones to buy airline tickets, high-speed rail tickets, boat tickets, shared bicycles (like the city bike in New York), order takeaways, and pay for online shopping. . . So China is now a cashless era. No one is using cash. You can live on a mobile phone in China for a month. If you don’t receive cash, you won’t receive fake money. In China's supermarkets, markets, restaurants, anywhere, you can pay by mobile phone. Mobile payment is like: If you go to a supermarket to buy a product, you pay with your mobile phone, which is like apple pay, but in the US I rarely see Apple pay. Mobile payment is paid by WeChat and Alipay. People can bind the credit card to WeChat or Alipay, and then you can withdraw the credit card on WeChat and Alipay. When you pay by mobile phone, you or the payee will have a barcode or QR code. You can use your WeChat or Alipay to scan the QR code and then pay, or you can make a payment barcode on WeChat or Alipay. (This is like a barcode for a product), and then the payee scans your payment barcode with the machine that scans the product. The QR code and payment barcode are sensitive, they are very sensitive, so they only take a few seconds to complete. It is. Mobile payment can also be used on any public transport. On the streets of China, even the WeChat scan code and Alipay scan code. When I saw this, I was thinking that since there are a WeChat and Alipay, he must have a mobile phone. Since he has a mobile phone, why does he have to beg? In China, very few people will pay by credit card, and WeChat and Alipay can also pay 1cent. In China, there is already a supermarket that pays by brushing face. There is also a supermarket that is unmanned (no staff, except security). Personnel), there is a high-tech in the unmanned supermarket that you can buy pizza on one machine, the material of your pizza can be selected on that machine, and the coffee, coffee sweetness can be made on one machine. Can be selected on that machine.If you are shopping online in China, the fastest speed is to send the goods you bought on the Internet to your hands within 15 minutes.

China is now quite different from a few decades ago because former China had a negative impact on former China due to economic problems and personal cultural issues. From 1989 to 2018, China's GDP grew at an average annual rate of nearly 10%, and the quality of Chinese people has also greatly improved. China is one of the fastest growing economies in the world. I know that old China is not a very good country, but new China is now very different from old China. If you have time, you must go to China because China is now a high-tech country. But the United States is also very good, but the United States has different advantages than China, so I like the United States and China.

  8. I hope I can visit China someday! I love that the subway in China is kind to the elderly, the disabled and children! Sometimes in the USA people will give up their seat on a subway too. This is just being a kind human being! This was so interesting to read!
