Professor Abner took everyone on a boat ride to get a closer look at the scenery.

"Lille is also one of the densest areas in France with canals, the main canals include the Roubaix canal, the Tourchon canal, etc., most of which are still navigable, so the scenery in this area is excellent, and tourists like to enjoy the scenery everywhere by boat. ”

"Lille also has several lakes in the city, Lake Espanyol, Lake Saint-Jean and Lake Arronn, so the city is very rich in water. ”

"Let's talk about the history of the city while we look at the scenery along the river, and we have to start with the history to understand what happened in the city before, and you will have a better understanding of where it came from. ”

The original inhabitants of this region were the Gauls, the Belgae, and later the Germanic peoples, such as the Frisians, Saxons, and Franks. ”

"This is related to the history of France, I also said when I introduced other cities before, because many places in France are very good, the climate is good, the resources are good, the scenery is good, and the terrain is flat, such a good place, of course, will be envied by the people of other countries around it, all in order to compete for territory, it has led to victory, aggression and counter-aggression, which has always been the theme of the world. ”

"It has taken many years to become what we are today, and we are very lucky to be able to look at these landscapes and talk about these histories in peacetime. ”

"The history is long gone, I've already covered some of it, and I don't want to go into details, we don't need to know about what happened in the past, we just need to know something, we still have to understand the development of the city now. ”

"Next, let's talk about the railway traffic in the city of Lille, we all know that it is very important for a city to have convenient transportation, which is related to the economic development of the city, if the economy wants to develop well, it must first develop transportation. ”

"We have just taken a ship to see the waterway transport in Lille, the waterway is really extending in all directions, this is the advantage of Lille, in addition to the waterway, the railway is very important, the railway is the key to land transport, many countries attach great importance to the railway, because the railway has the advantage of the railway, there are many trains, the line is fixed, and the city is interconnected with each other, which is very fast and convenient. ”

"Lille is the largest railway hub in northern France, where high-speed trains from Paris, London and Amsterdam meet, and a number of trunk railways connect the surrounding area in a radial pattern. ”

"By connecting the surrounding areas by rail, a network is formed, and this network is a transportation network, and in order to carry out trade, it is necessary to have shipping, rail, and waterway transportation, sea, land, and air, all of which are indispensable, which is the lifeblood of the economy, and every country attaches great importance to it. ”

"Lille Lecans International Airport, located in the south of the Lille city, is the only international passenger airport in the north of France. ”

"Lille airport can fly directly to domestic cities in France including Lyon, Strasbourg, Toulouse, Nice, Marseille, Montpellier, Bordeaux, Nantes, Biarritz, Perpignan. ”

"Lille airport's international routes are mainly concentrated on the Mediterranean coast, including major cities in countries such as Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, Algeria, Morocco, Italy, Greece and Turkey. ”

"In addition to the railway, let me introduce the rail transit in Lille, I know that you have many urban rail transit in China that are developing very well, you call it the metro. ”

"Lille rail transit, consisting of two metro lines and a tram line with two branches, is the world's first improved rubber-tyred rail system, characterized by a high degree of automation, driverless, small capacity but high turnaround frequency, and is used in metro lines in France except Paris. ”

"It's still very convenient, many French people take the rail on their daily trips. ”

Listening to Professor Abner's introduction, Qu Lihua and Meng Wenjie stood at the entrance of the rail transit station, watching the bustling crowd getting on the train, and the rail transit train screaming away, very emotional.

Qu Lihua remembered that as an office worker, most of them take the subway, and rail transit is very important as a modern means of transportation.

"The same is true in France, although the situation in each country is different, but there is also something in common, that is, if people want to live a good life, they must develop the economy and promote employment, and only by allowing the people to live and work in peace and contentment, will the society be harmonious." ”

"In fact, the common people don't want much, nothing more than a house to live in, food to eat, clothes to wear, convenient transportation, to go to work and get off work, to take transportation, to make a living, to have their own life, to get married, to have children, to reproduce, to live a happy life. ”

"Governing the country must understand the people's wishes, the people's wishes, is a country's managers to consider, but also must consider, the most important component of the 'Belt and Road' is interconnection, people's hearts, the fundamental reason why the people's hearts can be connected is that all countries in the world, no matter what contradictions between countries, but the people's wishes are peace, all want to live a happy and healthy life. ”

"So the Chinese are very smart, diligent, hardworking, Chinese want to live a happy life, young people work very hard, all the work that can make money, no matter how hard and tired there are people to do." ”

The city of Lille and its region is one of the most important industrial regions in France, which was previously dominated by metallurgy and textiles, and has now developed into a comprehensive industrial base, with a considerable output of railway equipment, the second largest in electricity production, the second largest printing industry in the country, and the third largest in machinery manufacturing.

"This city is still very powerful!" Meng Wenjie admired.

"Yes, Lille is a peculiar polyhedron, its first side belongs to France, it has French elegance, taste, is keen to preserve traditions, and is extremely precious and proud of the architecture of its city, and on the other hand, it is also because Spain, the Netherlands, England, Germany, France, these countries, have been involved in the competition for this region, so it will be affected in various ways. ”

"Cultures from different countries are intertwined here, and even Europeans themselves admit that Lille's old town is the most beautiful old town in Europe, a living fossil of European architecture, and Lille is also a university town with many universities, and many international students come here to study. ”

Lille and its environs were historically part of Roman Flanders, the domain of the former Counts of Flemish, but it did not belong to the Flemish speaking region, as opposed to Dunkirk.

So, contrary to popular belief, Lille was never a Flemish-speaking city, but spoke the dialect of the Roman Empire.
