I'm glad you showed great interest in what
is happening in China. You are right. I am very 21 of the great
achievement that the Long March-2F carrier rocket successfully sent China's
manned Shenzhou-9 spacecraft into space on June 16, 2012. Now, China is the
third country in the world to use its own 22 to send a female into
space.
I agree with you that if we work together
and 23, the future will be ours, the two old civilizations will
rejuvenate(煥發(fā)青春).
The last thirty years has 24 great changes that have taken place in both
India and China. We are lucky we are living in this great period.
You wanted to know more about Xi’an. Let me
tell you: Xi’an is the biggest city in the 25 of China, with a
population of over 9 million. Xi'an 26 the capital of China for over 13
dynasties. It was perhaps the most 27 and culturally advanced city in
the entire world. 28 this place silk roads went westwards through Asia
to Europe and Africa. Along one of the silk roads, over 1300 years ago, a great
thinker called XuanZang 29 all the way from Xi'an to India with the 30
of getting true spirit of Buddha(佛). He succeeded after many 31 difficulties. After that, some
new ideas from India spread over China, Japan and Korea. A 65-meter-high 32
called Dayan Pagoda was built for him for what he had done for the nation after
he died, which 33 stands in the south of Xi'an, the most famous 34 of
the city.
Xi'an is a city with splendid 35. A
lot of historical interests attract millions of visitors from both China and
all over the world, 36 which the Terra Cotta Warriors and the Old City
Walls are the most well-known, whose details you can 37 find through the
Internet.
Today's Xi'an is modern and even more
beautiful, 38 to film-makers, IT experts, and business people of every
description. Here in this city, famous for calligraphy(書法), a new chapter in China's
history is being 39
I think you may have some idea of where I'm
living. If you want to know more, come to China, I'll be your 40.
Tell me more about your city. Maybe my next
long journey is India.
Hope to get your reply.
