People kept in touch with their friends and relatives far away mainly by letter or telegram. China has developed rapidly since 1978. People can also enjoy more sorts of leisure activities. Children can study not only in modern schools but also on the Internet. What’s more, communications are becoming easier and quicker----people can use telephones, cellphones, fax machines, the Internet and so on. The large population in China has become a serious problem.
