Dear Navneeth,

However much we read about China the more mysterious it becomes, Thank you for the dedicated effort in unfolding it.

越是多阅读关于中国的文章，中国就显得越神秘。感谢你为我们展现中国而付出的努力。

Hello Suchisree- Frankly speaking, they are simple, hard working people- the social and economic studies about about them China's rapid strides in progress might make things look complicated but in reality, this is one simple formula of nation's progress- there are no freebies or great election promises. your performance is judged by your immediate boss, who in turn us judged by his boss and the chain goes on and on. Hard work, your work output is only your certificate by which your merit is judges. No favors, no sons and sons in law, your ability is your certificate

坦白说，他们是单纯又勤奋的人。有关中国快速进步方面的社会和经济研究，也许会让事情看起来复杂，实际上这是国家进步的简单公式，没有免费赠品，没有竞选时做出的伟大承诺。你的表现是由直接上司判断的，而后者又是由他的老板决定的。没有裙带关系，你的能力就是你的文凭。
