Mr Ren, how well do you know Beijing? I must admit that although I am from Beijing there are still many parts of the city I am not familiar with. Having visitors gives me an opportunity to discover my city anew. Just recently I was at Nanluogu Xiang, which is full of cafés and shops, for the first time. Friends sometimes mention areas that I have never heard of. One of the reasons for this is the city’s rapid growth. A lot of buildings are erected or renovated in record time.
任总,您对北京有多熟悉? 我必须承认,我虽然是一个真正的北京 人,但有很多地方我还是不认识。每当有 朋友来访,对于我来说也是一个机会,让 我重新认识我的城区。就在最近我第一次 到南锣鼓巷,这是一条咖啡馆和商店林立 的街道。有时侯朋友提及到的地方,我却 从来没有听说过。其中一个原因当然是因 为这个城市在快速增长。大部分的地方都 是在很短的时间内建设或被重建的。
