00:35Do you have any plans for the next program?
00:38Today is a very interesting concert in Shanghai.
00:43In Lincoln Center, there is a young jazz vocalist Michael Maio.
00:49Are you able to go to Shanghai?
00:51I think so, yes.
00:53I think so, yes, there is time.
01:01In 2011, Olga Galperovich moved to Beijing from Vitebsk in Belarus to start a new job as radio host with
01:09the China Media Group.
01:12The reports provide Russian speakers living in China with cultural news from around the country and abroad.
01:41It's 1,318 kilometers by rail from Beijing to Shanghai.
01:46Only a few years ago, the journey by train took more than 10 hours on 100-year-old rails.
01:53With the arrival of the longest high-speed railway, with the first high-speed train speeding along it,
01:59that journey time shrank immediately to 5 hours.
02:02And in 2017, that went down to 4 hours and 18 minutes.
02:13It's estimated that each passenger minute saved on the trip to Shanghai earns millions of dollars for China's economy.
02:20Living in the capital and working in another city is now viable.
02:24People living in settlements along the route are now traveling more often.
02:28And the number of joint projects is on the rise.
02:31Commerce and domestic tourism are flourishing.
02:34And Beijing and Shanghai are getting closer together.
02:38China's economic miracle has been the talk of the world for some time.
02:42But now, there's a new phenomenon.
02:44Chinese speed.
02:45And the speedometer's numbers keep going up.
03:05In the middle of the world of Beijing is now buried in the city of Shanghai.
03:07I'm now in the city of Shanghai.
03:07I'm now working in a few hours.
03:08I'm from the academic, central city of Beijing to the city of Shanghai.
03:16And where am I.
03:17It's really an interesting meeting ahead.
03:47Second class, the country's economy is the fastest growing, and people all over the world value their money and their
03:54time.
04:26If speed makes Olga's job easier, for driver Miao Zheng, speed is the job.
04:39In 2011, Miao became a Harmony high-speed train driver.
04:43And in 2017, he took control of a completely new version, the Rejuvenation, with an operating speed of 350 kilometers
04:52per hour.
04:53Trains like this serve 23 provincial administrative centers and Hong Kong.
04:59The future is now theirs.
05:18The first country to break the 200 kilometer per hour speed barrier was Japan, with its bullet train.
05:25That was followed by the French, who built their TJV, capable of 300 kilometers per hour.
05:32Eventually, China achieved a high-speed train capable of 350 kilometers per hour.
05:44In 2007, the first high-speed train, known as Harmony, appeared in China.
05:50And 10 years later, an upgraded version called Rejuvenation hit the tracks.
06:21A waterfall descending from a high mountain.
06:24was what inspired the designers who created Harmony.
06:28Dynamism.
06:29Aggression.
06:30Energy.
06:31When the train is going more than 300 kilometers per hour, the air in front of it gets highly compressed.
06:38Almost as if the train is plowing through a brick wall.
06:41If the metal wasn't durable enough, the sheer force of air pressure would flatten the front section.
06:47On the other hand, if the metal's too heavy, speed is reduced.
06:50A reinforced hollow skin provides the solution in the form of steel honeycombs, which are very durable and light.
06:58Welded struts add to the durability without thickening the outer shell.
07:05Over the violations with the track to wind formation from the air and scratches from the air andías in the
07:09air.
07:09Wind infra points very strongly on the air should be gained from the wind formation-driven spring or into stability
07:15through three little chilly minutes.
07:18Let's go back to the current elementalid anges.
07:27Opening for this side of the tunnel it reduces the wind volcano.
07:27We asked the handkerensch manufacturer as a CI enough complex, which went solid andventary computer launch throughout the bucket.
07:27From the Dangerous Madrid and theiah lanes on the crossline and the zawsze mercomplished, it quickly gives us a high
07:31torque to reach its surface.
07:31The Pitoc prá tapa is represented by the power of Fastlane Люks.
07:35The part of the train most heavily affected by its speed is its very foundation, the wheel
07:40chassis.
07:42The high-speed trains can carry thousands of passengers, and the safety of every one
07:46of them depends on the durability of each welded joint.
08:16The technician Li Wantan has worked at the welding shop for 30 years.
08:21He recalls that out of the two dozen boys who came to the factory with him, only a few
08:27chose to become welders.
08:29Hi, Mr.
08:30You're welcome.
08:34I saw this, the hand of the hand of the hand of the hand is easy to use.
08:41The hand of the hand is so fast, the hand of the hand is so fast.
08:46The hand of the hand is like a piece of the hand.
08:48I'll take a look for the hand of the hand.
08:50Sure.
08:52The hand of the hand is very difficult to do.
09:15But not even Li, with all his welding experience, can visually assess the quality of the welded
09:21joints in several hundred chassis a day. That quality assurance is provided by Ultrasound Diagnostics.
09:47The arrival of the Harmony train in 2007 didn't just give China more speed, it also changed
09:55the landscape. The country now benefits from 29,000 kilometers of high-speed rail line.
10:01That remains a world record. During construction, a bridge needed to be built over the widest section
10:07of the Yangtze River for the Beijing-Shanghai Line. 80% of the railway runs along overland bridges.
10:14As a result, farmland was saved along with the livelihoods of the people living in its path.
10:22By 2025, plans call for another 15,000 kilometers of railroad to be built.
10:29The Beijing-Shanghai Line now connects a quarter of China's vast population.
10:42If Beijing is the political and cultural center, Shanghai is China's most populated city,
10:49the financial and creative center.
10:57The train arrived right on schedule and RCI correspondent Olga Galperovic is already enjoying a performance by
11:05the American jazz singer Michael Mayo.
11:07Somewhere there's music, how near, how far. The darkest night would shine, if you would come to be soon.
11:18Until you will, I still my heart. Oh, we'll never be apart. Until you will, I still my heart.
11:26I'll hide the moon.
11:34After the concert, Olga recorded an exclusive interview with the jazz star
11:39for China International to broadcast the following day.
11:52Mr. Taijit Sun has lived in Sandago village for 40 years.
11:57The village is 30 kilometers from Hongchun, the city near the border with Russia and North Korea.
12:05Since retiring, Taijit Sun has devoted all of his energy to gardening and his modest farm.
12:13But his real joy is his large family.
12:38Taijit Sun has a dream.
12:41To cross China on one of the new trains about which he's heard so much.
12:45In 2015, the high-speed train rail service reached the city of Hongchun,
12:50not far from Sandago village.
12:53But he still hasn't had the chance to take a train ride.
12:56To farm and faltering health are constant obstacles.
13:09Taijit Sun is enjoying a visit from his daughter and granddaughter.
13:12They persuaded him to make his dream come true and spend a couple of days in Changchun.
13:17In his youth, he often spent time there with his friends.
13:21He still cherishes fond memories and even the old dream of moving to the city.
13:26Now seems to be the right time to make that dream come true.
13:30His children have grown up and have their own families.
13:33The new high-speed trains have reduced the distance between Hongchun and Changchun to a matter of hours,
13:39making today's trip a mere jaunt.
13:41Rather than a major undertaking,
13:42it remains to be seen if swapping the village for a modern metropolis is worthwhile.
13:49This time I really wanted to go to Changchun.
13:53After I went to the car, I went to the car and went to the car.
13:57I also wanted to go to Changchun's new landscape.
14:02I wanted to listen to her, listen to her, listen to her, listen to her, listen to her, listen to
14:07her, listen to her, listen to her, listen to her.
14:11It's very tasty, huh?
14:13Let's go, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye,
14:24bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye.
14:26China's first high-speed line opened in 2008.
14:30By 2019, modern railways have spread across almost all of China,
14:35reaching out to the farthest corners of the country.
14:38Fast, comfortable and affordable, the new means of transport enables people in far-flung regions
14:44to study and work in the largest of cities.
14:46And yet, though Uhalla is good, like a dream is a
15:16So, I come,
15:25The new rejuvenation train is the culmination of ten years of operation and improvement
15:31of China's first high-speed train, Harmony.
15:40In June 2017, the new train was tested for safety and reliability.
15:47Rejuvenation's maximum speed at the time was as high as 400 kilometers per hour.
16:32The new train was tested for safety and mobility.
16:33Shorter travelling time isn't the only advantage of a high-speed train over a conventional railway.
16:39Comfort is also important.
16:41This presented the designers with a challenge.
16:43At 350 km per hour, noise can be an issue.
16:47But passenger comfort must be maintained.
16:50A train travelling at high speed also carries a lot of inertia and requires a powerful braking system, able to
16:57take the strain.
16:57The attention given to these and other details in building the rejuvenation train are the secret of success for China's
17:0421st century locomotive.
17:18In real time, rejuvenation trains monitor bearing temperatures, the cooling and braking systems,
17:25and what's happening inside the carriage.
17:29Any abnormalities trigger an automatic alert.
17:33Deceleration rates and stopping distances are recorded.

18:07The day after the jazz concert,
18:09CRI correspondent Olga Galberovic returns to Beijing from Shanghai.
18:14A few hours of travel is just enough to write the lead story.
18:45Chinese people don't just use the internet to communicate.
18:49They also use it to buy 90% of their goods and services.
18:52A reliable Wi-Fi connection while traveling isn't a mere convenience, it's a necessity.
18:59Passengers complained that at high speed there was almost no connection and they had to stay offline.
19:23The high speed trains run on completely new rail tracks, not just upgraded existing lines.
19:30They're usually built parallel to existing lines, but in some regions they stand alone, as there is nothing else.
19:37They also carry freight to those areas, but generally they're for passenger traffic, moving more than 10 million people per
19:45day at peak times.
19:55Rejuvenation has yet to completely replace the harmony.
19:58But design engineer Quifong and his colleagues are already inventing a future that defies belief.
20:04It's rumored that for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, visitors will travel on driverless Chinese trains.
20:32In addition to automation, future trains will become smarter and more efficient.
20:38China plans to see its high speed networks stretching across many countries of the world.
20:44Chinese construction technology is being exported to Indonesia, Laos, Thailand, Hungary and Serbia.
20:52And in Russia, construction of a high speed Moscow Kazan Railway has already begun.
20:59We have a lot of discussion with the Chinese people from the 2015-1940s.
21:12The Chinese-1940s have several features.
21:15One is the high speed of the air, the low speed of the air, the low speed of the air.
21:19The low speed of the air is 50 degrees.
21:21The Chinese-1940s have more than the Chinese-1940s.
21:26The low speed of the air is higher than the high speed of the air.
21:32It's a high speed of the freight of the China-1940s.
21:35It's even more than the low speed of the foreign freight.
21:39The low speed of the air is higher than the US.
21:40The low speed of the aircraft is higher than the European意味.
21:45The low speed of the American-1940s has more than the United States.
21:45Following the success of the Beijing Shanghai Railway in 2011.
21:49High speed trains have now reached the provinces as well.
21:52High-speed railways have proved to be a commercial boon, especially for remote regional economies.
21:59They've brought relatives who live far apart closer together and made domestic tourism popular and accessible.
22:05For the first time in his life, Tai Jitsun can travel from Hangchun to Changchun on a Harmony high-speed
22:12train.
22:13High-speed trains reached these provincial cities in northeast China in 2015.
22:21Mr. Tai remembers when people considered themselves lucky to get a ticket for a train journey of 10 hours or
22:27more.
22:28Now that same journey takes a mere three hours and in a comfortable carriage.
22:44We've had been from the past few months and we've had been to Changchun's city in the East.
22:50We had the most place in the East.
22:51The environment under the border to be 1.0.
22:55We've been living in September, that it was very good for the future.
22:57We've been living in Longshore.
23:02The environment on the road and the weather is really good.
23:02It's a very good environment, so I feel very good.
23:24Returning to where you lived as a young man can be a serious trial.
23:28It's a reminder of the relentless passage of time.
23:31Tai Zichun dreamed of returning to Changchun,
23:35where he spent happy times with friends as a young man and even hoped to live.
23:57After a stroll through the streets,
24:00still familiar after many years.
24:02Even though looking very different now,
24:05Mr. Tai hurries home to his village.
24:07But before leaving, he buys gifts for the women in his life.
24:10His wife, daughters and granddaughter.
24:13And in just a few hours,
24:14he'll share with them his impressions of modern Changchun.
24:18I was younger when I went to this village.
24:22I was a dream of wanting to go to a village to the village.
24:24I was happy to be here.
24:27From the village of the city.
24:29To the village, my age wasn't a great place to go to the village.
24:33Because children were in the house and in the house, they had to eat.
