China had to import high?speed trains at that time， and Liang soon realized the importance of building the innovation capability and being self?sufficient in science and technology. Two years later， Liang was tasked with designing her first 300?kilometer?per?hour high?speed train. “The shoulders of giants can be shaky and hard to stand on. We have to become giants ourselves，” she said.

3 But designing a bullet train is no easy task. A single train can contain over 500，000 components， and improving its speed from 200 km/h to 300 km/h means overcoming numerous technical obstacles.

In 2010， she broke the world speed record at the time with CRH380A， a bullet train from the Hexie series with an operation test speed of 486.1 km/h.

4 In 2017， the new and improved Fuxing series bullet train entered service， gradually becoming the mainstay of Chinas high?speed rails. As of the end of 2021， there were 1，191 Fuxing trains in operation and they had safely served over 1.37 billion passengers across approximately 1.36 billion kilometers.

5 On July 20， 2021， after five years of hard work by Liang and her team， Chinas first 600 km/h high?speed magnetic levitation train made its debut in Qingdao， Shandong Pro?

vince. It is one of the fastest examples of ground?based public transportation in the world.
