Upon receiving the invitation, Li Wei felt a mix of excitement and nervousness. He quickly packed his belongings and headed to the airport. As the plane took off, he gazed out the window at the receding landscape of Taibei, wondering what awaited him in Beijing.
"Welcome aboard, sir," the flight attendant said with a smile. "Is this your first time flying to the mainland?"
"Yes, it is," Li Wei replied. "I'm attending a conference on artificial intelligence."
"That's wonderful! I hear it's a fascinating field," she said before moving on to the next passenger.
Arriving in Beijing, Li Wei checked into his hotel and met his old friend Zhang Ming.
"Ni hao, Li Wei! It's been too long," Zhang Ming exclaimed, clapping him on the back.
"Ni hao, Zhang Ming! Indeed, it has," Li Wei responded, grinning. "Let's catch up over dinner."
They dined at a local restaurant famous for its Beijing kaoya. As they ate, they discussed their latest projects.
"How is your work at the tech company going?" Zhang Ming asked.
"It's challenging but rewarding," Li Wei said. "We're developing new algorithms for machine learning, and it's keeping me busy."
After dinner, they walked along the bustling streets, the lights of Wangfujing illuminating the night. Li Wei thought about how much the city had changed since his last visit, now a blend of ancient history and modern innovation.
