Answer 1: It was in 2002 when I first came to China for a conference as a historian. I happened to attend a lecture about silk history. I learned the history about a lady in ancient China who devoted herself to silk production. I was deeply impressed. Then I began to focus on silk history and development. Question 2: How did Chinese silk spread to other countries? Answer 2: Well, the silk trade began in the early years of the 2nd century BC. A trade route linked to China was the outside world. Silk was transported from China to Italy and some other European countries. But silk production had remained a secret for about 3000 years. In about 300 AD, a group of Japanese obtained silkworms, and they also took four Chinese girls back to Japan to teach how to produce silk. Question 3: What is the present situation of silk industry?/ What is the current situation of silk industry? Answer 3: The silk industry has been affected by man-made fibers, which are produced at lower cost and are generally stronger. Silk still ranks first in the high quality clothing market, though it has been largely replaced. 五答部分： Question 1: What did you do yesterday?
