French rail transit engineer Romain Sevestre has been in China for 16 years. Every week, he takes the monorail train, which he helped build, to shuttle between his home in Nanjing City of Jiangsu Province and his workplace in Wuhu City of Anhui Province. He is often reminded of how rapidly China has changed in recent years by the flashing scenery outside the train window.

Besides weekly commuting, Romain also takes high-speed trains when traveling to other cities to participate in his favorite marathon or triathlon sports. Hanging out with his Chinese colleagues after work also helps him relax. He has become more fond of this country as he makes more Chinese friends here.
