"Mama, is this the Southern city?"
After clattering on the green-skin train for two days and two nights, the mother and daughter finally arrived at their destination.
All along the journey, sitting at every station and swaying back and forth, seven-year-old Zhao Xiaoya was truly exhausted and sleepy.
Her legs felt wobbly as she walked.
But as soon as they left the train station and entered a brand-new world of beauty they'd never seen before, Zhao Xiaoya's fatigue and drowsiness vanished.
She stared with eyes wide open, unable to take in all the streams of cars and the towering buildings around her.
My God, this is the Southern city.
So clean, so beautiful, so many people, so many cars.
And those buildings, so tall.
Zhao Xiaoya craned her neck as hard as she could; she felt it might break, yet still could not see the peak of the buildings.
"Yes, this is Shenzhen!"
