Meet Romain Sevestre: a French rail engineer who swapped baguettes for bullet trains and became a key player in China's transportation revolution. For nearly two decades, Sevestre has helped design projects like Wuhu’s cutting-edge monorail while witnessing China's infrastructure leap from bicycles to ‘rail-speed’ innovation.
‘When I first arrived, cities felt worlds apart,’ he says. Now, his weekly commute between Nanjing and Wuhu via sleek metro systems mirrors China’s connectivity boom. Collaborating with Chinese colleague Liu Rui, Sevestre highlights how cross-cultural teamwork fuels progress: ‘We blend French precision with China’s ambition to create something extraordinary.’
2024 marks 60 years of China-France diplomatic ties – and stories like Romain’s showcase how tech know-how and cultural exchange keep this partnership on track. From monorails to megacities, it’s a ride worth following!
