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!
