For French rail engineer Romain Sevestre, China’s rapid tech evolution isn’t just a headline—it’s his daily commute. Every week, he rides the monorail he helped design between Nanjing and Wuhu, watching cities transform through his window. \"The speed of change here is like a high-speed train,\" he says.
When he’s not building transit systems, Romain uses China’s famous bullet trains to chase marathons and triathlons nationwide. After work, he unwinds with baozi (steamed buns) and basketball games with local colleagues. \"Making friends here made China feel like home,\" he shares, grinning.
From monorails to mahjong nights, Romain’s story mirrors how global professionals are thriving in China’s innovation hubs—and finding community along the way.
