VIENTIANE [url=http://www.soccershop.us.com/...in-De-Bruyne-Jersey/]Kevin De Bruyne Jersey[/url] , Sept. 2 (Xinhua) -- Lao Minister of Public Works and Transport Bounchanh Sinthavong has witnessed "Chinese speed" at the construction of the China-Laos railway during a recent inspection visit.
The project management department of China Railway No. 5 Group Co. Ltd told Xinhua on Saturday that it has been the second visit by Bounchanh to the site of the construction.
During his visit last Wednesday, the minister learned about the construction situation of railway tunnels as well as the compensation for land acquisition and difficulties faced during the construction process.
Minister Bounchanh expressed his satisfaction over the quality, progress and safety of the project.
Talking with project manager Zhou Xiaoxia, the minister said: "At my first visit here, the section I construction site of China Railway No. 5 Group Co. Ltd, a cave was just being digged for tunnel construction. But only five months after that, as many as 5 [url=http://www.soccershop.us.com/...ergio-Aguero-Jersey/]Sergio Aguero Jersey[/url] ,000 meters of the tunnel have been completed. I have witnessed the real 'Chinese speed,' while site management is also really good. You are so great!"
The minister said that the Lao government attaches great importance to the construction of the railway and will create favorable conditions for the construction so as to boost interconnectivity between the two countries.
The China-Laos railway has a total length of 414.332 kilometers with over 62.7 percent being bridges and tunnels, linking Mohan-Boten border gate in northern Laos and capital Vientiane.
Operating speed on the route is designed at 160 km per hour.
The construction of the project is scheduled for five years with an investment of some 40 billion Chinese yuan (5.8 billion U.S. dollars), 70 percent of which comes from Chinese investment and the rest from the Lao side.
The China-Laos railway is the first overseas route connecting with the railway system in China, using Chinese technology, equipment and investment.

Political scientists will tell you that there?s immense symbolic power in
geographical opposition. Sometimes it?s for obvious historical reasons, like
East versus West Germany. Other times, the naming mechanism itself is what
carries the symbolic weight. For example, because North Dakota gets
disproportionately fewer tourists every year than South Dakota, it has attempted
to drop the word ?North? from its name to sound like a
warmer [url=http://www.soccershop.us.com/...cent-Kompany-Jersey/]Vincent
Kompany Jersey[/url] , more pleasant place. (It might also want to have a chat
with the Coen brothers about that whole ?Fargo? thing.)
The most obvious
geographical opposition existing in the modern United States is the North versus
the South, but America?s east-to-west colonization makes for some interesting
symbolism as well. Just think East versus West Coast. On the one side, you have
the Old Establishment (New England, the puritans, Manhattan, Harvard, Yale) and
on the
other [url=http://www.soccershop.us.com/...y-Fc-Soccer-Jerseys/]Manchester
City Jersey[/url] , you have the Young Guns (the frontier, forty-niners, Las
Vegas, California, Los Angeles). Unfortunately for the huge swath of states in
between, the term ?Middle America? doesn?t have any associations that are nearly
this exciting.
A great example of how this regional symbolism works can
be found in F. Scott Fitzgerald?s The Great Gatsby. Set on an upper-crusty,
1920?s East
Coast [url=http://www.soccershop.us.com/...an-Henderson-Jersey/]Jordan
Henderson Jersey[/url] , it uses geography to help establish characters and
highlight conflicts. Jay Gatsby, who originally comes from North Dakota (brr!),
makes a fortune, reinvents himself, heads to Long Island, and buys a mansion to
reconnect with his lost love, Daisy.
(Who [url=http://www.soccershop.us.com/...C-Sadio-Mane-Jersey/]Sadio
Mane Jersey[/url] , by the way, has since married an East-Coast millionaire with
a degree from Yale. How is that for the symbolic trifecta?) Many parties and
much drunkenness later, Jay and Daisy renew their relationship.
However,
without getting into too much of a Great Gatsby summary, let?s just say it
doesn?t end well. One of the major red flags Gatsby sets off for the East Coast
elite is his sketchy education. Although he pulls an unexpected
I?ll-see-your-Yale-and-raise-you-Oxford on Daisy?s husband, filling his house
with books and calling everyone ?old sport,? it turns out that Gatsby only
attended the university for five months. As
established [url=http://www.soccershop.us.com/...erto-Firmino-Jersey/]Roberto
Firmino Jersey[/url] , upper-crusty, and eastward as Oxford may be, Gatsby
clearly hasn?t spent enough time to pull off sophisticated speech or
behavior.
The other big obstacle is Gatsby?s illegitimacy to the East
Coast throne. Although he?s absurdly rich, his wealth is ?new? and therefore
inferior to that of Daisy?s husband. This is reflected in the fact that Gatsby
lives in West Egg and not East Egg, where Daisy lives: not only is East Egg the
more respectable neighborhood, but it also conjures up the EastWest,
oldnew [url=http://www.soccershop.us.com/...l-Fc-Soccer-Jerseys/]Liverpool
Jersey[/url] , ManhattanHollywood relationship that makes Gatsby seem like a
fraudulent newcomer. (Which, to be fair, he is.)
With all this in mind,
it?s no wonder his character?s intro and outro both rely on the symbolism of
that ?green light? you probably remember from one of the most famous Great
Gatsby quotes: looking longingly over the water, Gatsby stretches his arms
eastward toward the money-colored light that emanates from Daisy?s house.
Although this is as close as he?ll ever get to reaching the status of a
Manhattan social elite, the real tragedy is that Gatsby is the last one to know
it.
