In a new book, veteran expert Wang Xiong explains how China became a world leader in high-speed transport, Mei Jia reports.
As the Spring Festival rush approaches, the railways are in focus again.
By the end of last year, China had 121,000 kilometers of train track. Of that, 19,000km were high-speed lines, covering all Chinese cities with a population larger than 500,000 and accounting for 60 percent of the world's high-speed lines.
