On October 9, the new Yiwu Railway Station opened. Workers spent 3 years and 10 months building it. Yiwu is famous as the “world supermarket”. Now it has a new big station for travellers.
This station is very special. Workers built it over the running train tracks. Trains still came and went every day while they worked. It was hard work. The new hall is big and bright.
I am surprised by the builders. They planned carefully and worked slowly for years. They did not rush. I learn that great things take time.
