"Hello, we are reporters from the Wall Street Journal in the United States. We are here to China to do a program called "Walking China". May I ask, can you take us to Zhuhai Airlines Exhibition Park?"

A man and a woman with blonde hair and blue eyes, just walked out of the Guangzhou office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to complete a trip, stopped a taxi and expressed his intentions in bad Chinese. Although the female reporter's Chinese pronunciation was inaccurate, she still clearly expressed her true meaning.

"No matter how much you catch Lou Pu (no problem)!"

The driver smiled and answered foreigners in homophone English. He was also afraid that the foreigners would not understand the English they invented, so he waved his hand to signal that they could get on the bus. These days he has carried a lot of foreigners, and even black people have carried them. People who can travel thousands of miles to China to visit exhibitions of this and that are very rich and well-educated. They never blinked their eyes to tip, and often have tips or sincere words of thank you for helping put their luggage in the trunk.

Taxis quickly started to make meters. Since Guangdong became part of the former autonomous government, Guangzhou, located along the Qianjiang River, is a good harbor city. Therefore, Guangzhou's development is extremely fast. The biggest sign of the prosperity of industry and commerce is that there are tall buildings on both sides of the street, and the city is getting bigger and bigger. Walking in such a big city, the biggest feature is that there are many street entrances and the frequency of waiting for traffic lights is a bit frequent.

"Master, are you busy with business these days?" The male reporter wearing glasses held great courage to communicate with the taxi master in Chinese with the encouragement of the female reporter. As a reporter, he did not forget to take out his stuntbook to record the key points of the conversation.

"Busy, good business!"

"Well, what you mean is that there are a lot of foreign friends who have come to Guangzhou recently? I mean, foreign friends like us who look different from Chinese people!"

"Let's go, today I've been catching you for the fourth trip!"

The master thought about the China Modern Industrial Achievement Exhibition, which added a lot of vitality to Guangzhou. The aviation exhibition is probably much more powerful and impactful. The specific situation is that more and more people would rather take the expensive taxi. Foreigners don’t know how to take the bus to reach their destination, so they took care of the taxi business in disguise.

Looking at the rearview mirror, the master nodded slightly. The two of them were colleagues and couples. The man was writing something there. The woman looked at the scenery outside the car window like a cheerful bird, chirping and noisy. The man looked at the good things outside the window. However, the male reporter who was busy writing things had a slight impatient look.

"I'll ask you another very important question, is it OK?" The male reporter naturally knew that during the driving, passengers could not communicate with the master.

"Of course, we are the masters who have been driving cars for seven years. They just talk, it's not a problem!"

"We?" The male reporter didn't seem to understand this word very much, but guessed it should be a Chinese claim, such as the old man and the old man. He smiled and straightened his glasses and asked: "Master, what impact do you think China is becoming more and more modern, has it had on your life? Or, like the upcoming China Zhuhai Aviation Expo, Chinese aviation companies and military will display many aviation products. What impact do you think will have on your life? For example, what convenience does it have!"

After saying this, the master immediately looked at the young American man with admiration. This is not bad in Chinese, but he speaks Mandarin more standard than him. After looking at the dashboard, he did not turn his head and said directly: "Young man, if this country has developed well, our people will naturally be happier and happier. I have seen this thing but have never taken it, but I know that the emergence of the airport, the more people we fly, the higher the income of driving a taxi, right? Besides, China is not only good at dealing with Japanese people in Taiwan!

The master's words made the male reporter in the back seat stunned, and he didn't understand what the master was talking about. However, after writing it down, he thought for a moment and knew what the master meant. He didn't ask more questions, packed up his shorthand and pen, and took out his camera to check whether it was working normally.

After the car drove out of the city of Guangzhou, it quickly boarded the expressway and headed straight for Zhuhai. It quickly arrived at the destination without much trouble. However, the taxi master was smart now. Often, these foreigners came straight to Guangzhou by boat and had to go to the destination after getting their ID. So many times, they forgot the places that they didn’t consider for their travel plans. So what if they arrived at the exhibition park? You have to find a hotel to stay. So the smart taxi master will take the passengers to the exhibition park first, and then remind the passengers whether there is a place to stay. If they don’t, they will wake up suddenly. After finding the destination but there is no place to eat and live, they can only ask the master to take them to find a place to settle down, and they must also familiarize themselves with the route between the hotel and the destination.

In this way, many smart masters will travel a lot more distances in the blink of an eye, and their income will naturally grow. For example, after the master carefully sent the two reporters to the hotel, he also specifically told the hotel to pay attention to the two of them who were watching the air show. After getting a free Chinese and English-style travel map, he enthusiastically helped the two of them stay in the hotel and got a considerable amount of car travel expenses that the two reporters could reimburse to the newspaper in the future.

Zhuhai, which is rich in seafood, is originally a city of garment and food processing, and industry and commerce are relatively prosperous. After being included in the Special Economic Zone by the State Council of the Republic, the city's development speed has reached a higher level. With the establishment of the China Zhuhai Aviation Expo, the construction of venues, and the preparation of exhibitions, it has injected a strong shot of stimulant into the local economic development. As the opening day of the expo approaches, more and more foreign enterprises, institutions and individuals have flocked to this medium-sized city, adding to the prosperity of the city.

The history of human aviation can be traced back to a long time, but what really entered the aviation industry era was when the Wright brothers flew into the blue sky in the early 20th century. The first and largest aviation exhibition in the world emerged in the world. The Paris Air Show held at Bourget Airport in northeastern Paris was the largest aviation exhibition event. The first air show opened on September 25, 1909 and was then held every year. After being forced to suspend during the European War, the air show began to be held again in 1921, but changed to once every two years.

In addition to the Paris Air Show, there is also a famous aviation exhibition ceremony in the world, that is, the Farnborough Air Show in the UK, an entertainment exhibition aimed at showing ordinary people's flying style, making them familiar and willing to devote themselves to the flight industry. It has a strong personalized celebration factor. Moreover, the air show began to emerge after the European War. It is somewhat similar to the exhibition at the large gathering of aviation enthusiasts. It lacks professionalism and scale compared with the Paris Air Show. It is held once every two years. Since the first edition began in 1922, it has not caused great stir in the world's aviation industry.

When the news of China's aviation exhibition spread all over the world, it did make many people's glasses shatter. An Eastern power that was opened by the British with strong ships and sharp guns was turned into a symbol of shame and cowardice in modern history. However, since the European War, the ancient Eastern power has begun to rejuvenate and bring waves of surprises to the world. Holding an aviation exhibition is undoubtedly another creation move after demonstration of China's modern industry achievements. This news is accompanied by the perfect victory of China's aviation power in the Sino-Japanese Taiwan conflict. The Chinese aviation industry, which has been proven in actual combat, is enough to attract global attention, and the focus of its attention is obviously Zhuhai, Guangdong, China.

The exhibition was arranged on July 1, 1930. It is another unprecedented event after three months after the first China Modern Industrial Achievement Exhibition that surprised and admired the world. The aviation industry, where the cutting-edge modern industry technology was established, attracted the attention of the world due to its high technical level of industry coverage, wide industrial influence, and strict requirements for entry. The country that can achieve world-renowned achievements in the aviation industry are naturally extraordinary in its basic industry. What is more attractive is that in this event, in addition to the Chinese aviation companies that will show their skills, the Chinese Air Force will also make public appearances...

Passengers from major world cities such as Liverpool, Portsmouth, France, Rotterdam, the Netherlands, San Francisco, New York, and other regions in China have never had enough tickets since the beginning of 30 years. There are many people who have to watch the air show after watching the Industrial Exhibition. Therefore, Guangzhou is a ground transportation transit hub between Shenzhen and Zhuhai, and it is also a customs port for foreigners to enter and exit China. Therefore, the arrival of the passenger peak has benefited many people and brought great benefits to the catering and accommodation industry in the region.

This air show was approved by the Central Government of the Republic, with physical display, trade negotiation, academic exchange and flight performance as its main activities. It is supported by the Guangdong Provincial Government, the National Science and Technology Industry Commission, the State Administration of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Commerce, the three major groups of China Aviation Industry, AVIC Power and other organizers. It is also co-organized by the Ministry of Public Security, the General Staff of the People's Army, the General Equipment Department of the China Air Force and other units. It is undertaken by the Zhuhai People's Government and Zhuhai Air Show Co., Ltd., and is a conference that is truly valued by governments and aviation enterprises at all levels.

On July 1, 1930, in the Aviation Exhibition Park in Zhuhai Aviation Industrial Zone, the first China Zhuhai International Aviation Exhibition officially kicked off. This air show is an unprecedented exhibition for China's aviation industry to go global. The three giants of China's aviation industry, which did not show off their skills in the industrial exhibition, can finally let go of their hands this time. The first, second and third groups of AVIC, which participated, brought their respective works. At the same time, China Aviation Dynamics also produced very decent works. The most eye-catching Chinese Air Force not only brought its own flight performance team, but also brought more than 20 aircraft that performed well in the war to feast the audience.

There were many foreign personnel participating in the conference. The special teams of embassies in various countries in China, military and political delegations from more than ten countries including Britain, France, the United States and Japan, and nearly 11,000 foreign friends came to China to visit the conference. There were countless Chinese tourists from Guangdong and other provinces, but there were only 100,000 people who could actually enter the event every day. The tickets for the conference that were valid for three days at a time include ordinary, discount, family and team tickets, and there were limited sales amounts. Of course, these three days refer to the public open days, and there were three professional days for the air show.

In order to take care of the Republic's own students and cultivate their interest in aviation, the Ministry of Education of the Republic and the organizers of the exhibition negotiated the visit time of the students on a separate day. During this day, the student teams from surrounding areas such as Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan, Fujian and other provinces can enter the venue for free for free. Of course, the Ministry of Education is the real paying for, and the voluntary registration of students in school has been carried out since last year.

The slightly expensive ticket price is not a problem for enthusiastic Chinese people and foreign friends who would rather travel all the way to China. Therefore, the pre-sale site for air show tickets began to become lively in late June. As July approached, the scalper began to flourish. The Ministry of Public Security, which is the co-organizer of the air show, immediately dispatched a large number of police forces to punish scalpers who dared to touch the high-voltage line, which also shows how hot the tickets for the conference were.

The air show was cut by Zhang Yusheng, Premier of the Republic of China, for the opening ceremony of the conference. At the same time, he solemnly announced to foreign guests from all over the world that the conference would hold a space fair in Zhuhai every two years. In other words, there would be a Zhuhai Air Show in even years, such as 1932, 1934, 1936, etc. Since there were not many foreign airline companies participating in the exhibition and there were not many professional representatives visiting, and the conference originally planned to have four links: "physical display, trade negotiation, academic exchange and flight performance", the academic exchange link seemed somewhat unnecessary.

Most of the foreign aircraft participating in the exhibition were from Europe. In the United States, only Lockheed brought an unfinished twin-engine light aircraft. Most of the aircraft in Europe were mainly military aircraft used during the European War, and Europe's civil aviation industry was still in sight. Therefore, the only foreign aircraft participating in the exhibition were German and British combat aircraft, very traditional biplane, triplane single- and double-seat aircraft, British stats-fe-2b, se.5 fighter jets, German fokkere-iii and fokkere.i. Even though these wooden propeller simple aircraft have been baptized by the war, they not only appear small in front of China's all-metal single-wing modern aircraft, but also have an antique feeling.

For example, the British stats-fe-2b aircraft, which has two crew members. According to the air-opening data, the wingspan is 14.55m, length is 9.8m, height is 3.8m, weight is 935 kilograms, maximum load: 1378 kilograms, maximum flight speed is 147 kilometers per hour, maximum ceiling is 3353 meters, equipped with a 7.7mm machine gun or a bomb weighing no more than 235 kilograms. Its performance is not even comparable to the biplane and two-seater trainer aircraft in ordinary aviation schools in the Republic.
