19、 no high-speed rail service.And as a fan of technology, I was excited to take a high-speed train in China for myself.The first time I took a bullet train was when I traveled from Beijing to Yueyang in Hunan province for Spring Festival.After I passed through security ( 安 检 ), I stepped onto the trai
