A brief talk on the high speed rail of China

In recent years, our countrys scientific and technological strength has been strengthened day by day, and has made remarkable achievements in one field after another. As Chinese, we are very proud.

We see and read these achievements every day in all kinds of media, such as television, news websites, blogs, official accounts, members, etc.Sometimes, we immerse ourselves in it and think that we have become a developed country, and our countrys scientific and technological strength is already in the lead in the world. 

To be sure, we have been in the forefront of the world in Internet finance, such as mobile payment, high-speed rail technology, bridge-building technology, sharing economy and so on.However, we should also soberly realize that the reason why we have been able to achieve such brilliant achievements is inseparable from Chinas huge market demand.That is to say, a lot of technologies start from abroad, but they cant move on because of the limited or weak demand of their market. 

In addition, we still lag far behind developed countries in terms of hardware and software in many technologies.

Take, for example, the high-speed rail we are proud of.Now the media often say that our high-speed railway mileage has reached 22,000 kilometers, and more than the other countries in the world of high-speed rail mileage combined. Moreover, we have reached a top speed of 350 km / h. 

Of course, we should be proud of these achievements, but the longest mileage is also related to Chinas national conditions.Many developed countries in the world either have a very small territory, such as Japan, France, Germany, Britain, etc, and do not need or can not build very long high-speed rail lines;or sparsely populated, such as Canada, Australia, Russia and so on, the market demand is insufficient; or the civil aviation industry developed, such as the United States. Of course, compared with some big developing countries like India and Brazil, we are ahead.

The technologically advanced countries are not behind us in terms of the speed of high-speed trains.But their high-speed rail lines were built before us, and some even decades earlier (such as Japans Shinkansen), and adapted to the times under the conditions of the timethe speed of the background.

In fact, compared with the developed countries, the gap is more reflected in the details and services. 

Or take the high-speed rail as an example. Remember that when the high-speed rail ( or EMU ) just opened, the waitress selection and training standards are almost comparable to flight attendants. The young and beautiful elder sister Gao stood at the entrance of the train with grace and smiled to welcome the passengers.In the carriage, they pack for the passengers, to solve problems, courteous.And now? In addition to checking tickets, selling drinks, fruits, snacks, packages, it is difficult to see the figure of Gao Jie, and most of them have lost their past smile, sometimes even appear cold as ice frost, or to the passengers inquiries very impatient.

When the high-speed train first opened, passengers could get a bottle of drinking water by ticket, and even on some trains they opened up or sent it directly to each passengers seat.But now, this kind of humanized service now already did not have, this also possibly and controls the operation cost to relate, also possibly is the service idea change.

Now high-speed rail broadcasting, reporting and other services are not so standardized compared with the newly opened run. For example, sometimes the radio, the station voice is very small. Previously standardized reporting stations and related knowledge introduction, tips, etc, are now not so standardized. Some interesting programs also stopped playing.

These are the changes in the service software, hardware details, now the high-speed rail is also increasingly highlighted the problem.For example, most of the automatic doors between the trains are not closed, but the automatic opening and closing function is cut off by human being. 

We are proud of, and even let Europe and the United States passengers envy, jealousy and hate the smooth running, and now it is not so smooth, and the train will still be sloshing and light at high speed slightly bumpy.I dont know if this is how I feel alone.The high-speed rail I rode on yesterday even heard a clash of clang at the junction of two carriages.I think it may have something to do with the settlement of the track.

I found that some of the trains luggage rack under the coating began to fall off, the seat base appeared rust, seat cloth cover loose, and so on, these details, the manufacturing process of our country still needs to innovate and make great efforts. 

The emergence of the above problems, give a person the feeling is high-speed rail as a new thing of fresh energy has passed, there are slowly back to the past iron boss era trend.

However, after all, the times are progressing, and the publics awareness of supervision and participation in social affairs is also constantly growing.I think that with the continuous progress of science and technology, the steady development of the economy, and the growing awareness of service, the Chinese manufacturing will continue to improve. One day, we will reach the level of developed countries in terms of hardware and software.
