For Zhou Sen, it was also his first time in Kazakhstan, and he sat in a window seat, looking out of the window window, and the trees quickly passed in front of him.

He took out a map of Kazakhstan, a country that was both foreign and mysterious to him.

Cameraman Yin Xiaoqiang came over and asked curiously: "Mr. Zhou, do you know the origin of the name Kazakhstan?"

Zhou Sen flipped out a book, turned out the pages, and pointed it out to Yin Xiaoqiang.

"The word Kazakh in Slavic language is interpreted as 'fugitive', 'breakaway', a direct branch of the ancient Turks, and gradually formed the Kazakh people, a direct branch of the ancient Turks. ”

"Ancient Kazakhs refer to the ancient nomadic tribes of the present generation in Central Asia, such as the Wusun, Yueshi, etc., and these ancient nomadic tribes are the ancestors of the modern Kazakhs. ”

"What are the characteristics of Kazakhstan's geographical location? Can you tell us about it?"

Zhou Sen nodded, "Okay, Kazakhstan, a landlocked country located in Central Asia, is also the largest landlocked country in the world, the name of the country comes from its main ethnic group, the Kazakhs, located in central Asia, bordering Russia to the north, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan to the south, the Caspian Sea to the west, and China to the east. ”

"The terrain of Kazakhstan is mostly plains and lowlands, characterized by high in the southeast and low in the northwest, most of the territory is plains and lowlands, the west and southwest are the lowest, the east and southeast of Kazakhstan are mountains with lofty mountains and intermountain basins, where there are mountains such as the Altai Mountains, the Tarbagatai Mountains, the Dzungar Alatau Mountains, the Trans-Ili Alatau Mountains, the Tianshan Mountains and other mountain ranges. ”

"In the northeast there is the Turan Plain, which gradually transitions from the northeastern part of Kazakhstan through the central part to the Kazakh hills, and then extends to the Tien Shan Mountains in the southeast, and in the north, the Kazakh hills connect with the southern edge of the West Siberian Plain. ”

"Mr. Zhou, is Kazakhstan also very close to our China?"

Zhou Sen nodded, "Yes, the Tianshan Mountains are located at the southeast end of Kazakhstan, China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan border mountains, its majestic and steep peaks are covered by snow and glaciers all year round, the highest peak Khan Tengri Peak is 6995 meters above sea level, and it is also the highest peak in Kazakhstan. ”

"Look at it, it's all clearly marked on the map, this is the Tianshan Mountain System!"

"Wow, the Tianshan Mountains are majestic and upright, and they are an important natural geographical dividing line. ”

"Yes, Kazakhstan and Russia are very close, the natural conditions in the north of Kazakhstan are similar to those in central Russia and southern Britain, and the natural conditions in the south are similar to those in the Mediterranean coastal countries of Transcaucasia and southern Europe. ”

"We are mainly interviewing and Chinese-funded enterprises cooperation projects, especially after the "Belt and Road" initiative is proposed, the interconnection between the two countries, Kazakhstan and our China cooperation projects are still a lot, involving mining metallurgy, chemical industry and automobile manufacturing and other fields, Almaty elevator production project, Pavlodar polypropylene production project and Kostanay China automobile production project and other programs have been determined to be in the implementation stage. ”

Yin Xiaoqiang nodded, "Teacher Zhou, you are very knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and you know a lot, I still admire you very much!"

Zhou Sen smiled, "I have done my homework in advance and consulted a lot of information, let's go to Almaty first, and then go to other places." ”

"Okay, I'll follow Teacher Zhou, and I'll go wherever Teacher Zhou goes!"

"Hahaha......" Zhou Sen smiled, "You hurry up and squint for a while, as soon as the train stops, we will have to work non-stop again, you will have to work hard again with the camera!"

"Professor Zhang has already contacted the local reception staff for us, Mr. Xu Changming, who came to the train station to pick us up and arrange accommodation for us!"

"Okay, with Professor Zhang's support for us, our interview work will go a lot smoother!"

Zhou Sen and the comrades of the interview team slept on the train for a while, waited for the train to stop at the Almaty railway station, and waited for Zhou Sen to leave the station with the interview team to check the tickets, and then met Xu Changming, a teacher from the Chinese Embassy in Kazakhstan who came to pick them up.

"Ouch, Xiao Zhou, I haven't seen you for a long time, I have long heard Professor Zhang say that you are coming, and I have been looking forward to you coming, and I finally looked forward to you!"

"Teacher Xu, we have an interview mission this time, and we need your support, we are going to disturb you!"

"Xiao Zhou, you are too polite, Professor Zhang told us to treat you well, I have already booked a hotel for you, all the accommodation is arranged by us, I will be your tour guide, what do you need, just tell me, we will strongly support your work." ”

"Okay, thank you!" Zhou Sen thanked him, and Xu Changming took the staff to help with the luggage, and talked while walking out.

"Mr. Xu, can you tell us about the situation in Almaty, which is not very familiar to Chinese audiences, can you help us introduce it?"

"Okay!"

"Almaty, the largest city in Kazakhstan, is located on the southeastern border of Kazakhstan, with an area of 682 square kilometers and a population of about 1.797 million in 2017. ”

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, it became the capital of Kazakhstan and later moved its capital to Astana in north-central China, and Almaty used to be the capital of the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic from 1929 to 1991, and then continued as the capital of the Republic of Kazakhstan from 1991 to 1997. ”

"Located on the southeastern border of Kazakhstan, bordered by China's Xinjiang to the east and Kyrgyzstan to the south, Almaty is also a historic city. ”
