A probe into the case involving a girl known as fang mei (housing sister) and her father in Zhengzhou, Central China's Henan province, has resulted in the father, the head of the housing management department of a district in Zhengzhou, being arrested. However, the story is far from over.

After graduating from Zhengzhou Railway Vocational & Technical College in 2008, Luo Fengguang joined the train division of Zhengzhou Railway Bureau to receive tuition as a maintenance inspector for bullet trains.

For those interested in China's long history and splendid culture, Henan province is a place that cannot be missed.

With the Yellow River running through it, the 167,000-square-kilometer province in central China has long been considered one of the main places where Chinese civilization first took root.

Henan is home to four of the eight major capitals of ancient China - Luoyang, Anyang, Kaifeng and Zhengzhou. From these cities, more than 200 emperors of 20 dynasties issued decrees.

The train left Beijing, with patches of snow dotting the capital, at 9 am on Wednesday before it whizzed past green rice fields when it crossed the Yangtze River four hours later. At 5 pm, it arrived in flower-dotted, subtropical Guangzhou, where the temperature was 20 C higher than in Beijing when the trip began.

The world's longest high-speed rail link, connecting Beijing and Guangzhou, the capital of Guangdong province, became fully operational on Wednesday.

Even though the weather is getting cold, migrant worker Zhu Yunyou has to sleep beneath an overpass because he cannot afford renting an apartment in the downtown area.

Zhu, 61, from a village in Yuanyang county, Henan province, went to the provincial capital, Zhengzhou, to seek a job after harvesting the crops in his hometown three months ago.

Zhu didn't know where the city's job market was and had to stand along the road with a board stating: "Seeking short-term jobs".

Northwest China’s Shaanxi province was one of the places where Chinese civilization first took root as well as a political and cultural center of 14 dynasties in ancient China.

Relying on this unparalleled cultural legacy as well as its advantages in science and technology and its extensive transportation infrastructure, the province is rapidly modernizing in an attempt to recapture its past glory.

A new high-speed railway, which connects the capital cities of Henan and Hubei provinces in Central China, was put into service on Friday, creating a new north-south corridor in the national high-speed rail grid. 

The first pair of bullet trains started to run on the Zhengzhou-Wuhan line at 9 am on Friday. 

The new line decreases the travel time between the two cities to two hours, down from four and a half hours. 

More Chinese parents are sending their children to music classes. Chen Nan discovers that some are jumping on the bandwagon for the wrong reasons. 

While some children are playing at a park near Fangzhuang area of Fengtai district in Beijing, Wang Jinghan's fingers are fiddling vigorously on her violin. 

At 11 years old, she is one of the brightest stars at the Middle School attached to the Central Conservatory of Music, located just opposite the park. The school has been churning out virtuosos in recent years.
