M:I can’t read these signs.I don’t know where I am.Why are China and the West so different from each other?

W:They are a long way apart.Those thousands of miles used to make a big difference.

M:Yes.We can’t speak to each other and we look different.It’s hopeless.

W:Hey,just relax.There is one big way in which we are the same.

M:What is that?

W:We are both civilized.Both the West and China developed great civilizations,entirely separately.

M:What do you mean?

W:Thousands of years ago,while the great cultures of Greece and Rome were developing,a similar thing was happening here in China.

M:Then why are we so different?

W:Because we learned to do many of the same things in different ways.We are only starting to be the same in modern times.

W:Isn’t it strange that we have both decided to become writers?

M:But only for a short time.We were always best friends through high school and university.

W:That’s true.How is your writing going?

M:I’m struggling.I tried writing a book based on facts,but I couldn’t do it.I had similar problems with fiction.

W:Maybe you’ll have better luck with fantasy.

M:I hope so.I’m doing OK with it so far,but I can’t concentrate.I have to wait until I am inspired.Maybe I should travel and do some research.

W:You should do what I do.

M:What is that?

W:I make myself sit down and write for a long time.I start at 9:00 a.m.and I write until 4:00 p.m.every day.

M:I don’t have that kind of discipline.

W:I have to have rules.Otherwise,I will think of other things.

　　In the UK,most of the news we hear from China these days is about the novel coronavirus.

This means that one very big story has had little attention.A Chinese company has agreed to rescue British Steel,one of Britain’s biggest companies once.Jingye Group said it would invest 1.2 billion pounds,saving 3,200 jobs,and make the steel works modern.Jingye,which is reported to have offered 50 million pounds to buy the company,said the deal was due to be completed on March 9th.A workers’ union described the takeover as“welcome news”,but they said around 400 people faced losing their jobs.

British Steel closed down in May last year,with the UK government taking control.The deal,which would see Jingye spend 1.2 billion pounds over the next decade upgrading the plant and machinery,marked a“new chapter in British steelmaking”,said chief executive officer Li Huiming.“I want to thank everyone who has been involved in making this deal happen,including British Steel employees,the unions,and the British government,”he said.“We will not misplace the trust that they have placed in us.”
