A | (ECNS) -- An Air China staff member in Rome has gone viral among Chinese internet users for speaking fluent Mandarin with an authentic Beijing accent, prompting jokes that travelers must have landed in Beijing rather than Italy. Gabriele Bonanni, whose Chinese name is Bo Tianxiong, works as a terminal representative at Air China's Rome office. In a video circulating online, Bonanni effortlessly uses colloquial Beijing expressions such as "hao lei," an informal way of saying "all right," and "bei'er bang," meaning "really great." "I was completely surprised at first," Bonanni said. Chinese friends and colleagues later sent him the video, leaving him "a little overwhelmed" by the attention and warmth he received from Chinese internet users. Bonanni attributes his remarkably authentic Beijing accent to his Chinese teacher, a Beijing native who encouraged him to practice the city's distinctive rhotic pronunciation. He enrolled at Beijing Language and Culture University in 2017, where he immersed himself in the Chinese language and culture and achieved excellent academic results. When asked about his method for learning Chinese, Bonanni said it was simple: listen and speak as often as possible, do not be afraid of making mistakes, and watch Chinese short videos to develop a better feel for the language. Bonanni said he makes a point of greeting Chinese tourists and business travelers at the airport to help them feel a little more at home while abroad. He also invited travelers to fly with the airline and "bring Rome's evening glow back to Beijing's morning light." He also shared his memories of Beijing, saying he often visited Huguosi Snack Street and enjoyed roast duck, Chaogeda (stir-fried dough knots) and hotpot. "Beijing is the only Chinese city I've visited. I hope to travel to cities such as Tianjin, Xi'an, Chengdu and Chongqing," he said. (By Zhang Dongfang) 。

B | PHNOM PENH, Cambodia -- Commercial operations began Monday at Cambodia’s newest and biggest airport, designed to serve as an upgraded gateway to the country’s major tourist attraction, the centuries-old Angkor Wat temple complex in the northwestern province of Siem Reap.A Bangkok Airways flight from Thailand was the first to land, with 16 additional flights scheduled for the first day of operations at the Siem Reap-Angkor International Airport.The airport, which was built at a cost of about $1.1 billion on 700 hectares (1,730 acres) of land about 40 kilometers (25 miles) east of Angkor Wat, boasts a 3,600-meter (11,810-foot) long runway. Construction began in 2020 to replace the old airport, about 5 kilometers (3.1 miles) from the temple site, which is being retired in part because of fear that vibrations from frequent flights were damaging the temples’ foundations.The new airport can handle 7 million passengers a year, with plans to augment it to handle 12 million passengers annually from 2040. It was constructed under a 55-year build-operate-transfer (BOT) program between Cambodia and China. According to the Ministry of Tourism, Cambodia received some 3.5 million international tourists in the first eight months of 2023, while for the whole of 2019 — the last year before the coronavirus pandemic — it received some 6.6 million foreign visitors. Tourism is considered one of the main pillars supporting Cambodia’s economy.Deputy Prime Minister Vongsey Vissoth, who headed the ceremony marking the start of operations, said the new airport will be officially inaugurated on Nov. 16 by Prime Minister Hun Manet and top Chinese officials.Another Chinese-funded airport is being constructed at a cost of $1.5 billion to serve the capital Phnom Penh. The new Phnom Penh international airport, formally known as the Techo International Airport, is set on 2,600 hectares (6,425 acres) and scheduled for completion in 2024.。
