Goodbye, Windows Phone!

I've been using Windows Phone for quite some years, despite of its insignificant market share. With a windows phone, I can easily sync data between my laptop and my phone, and the good integration of MS Office is also something I need, especially when I am on the go.
The current device on my hands is a LUMIA 930, not bad, except for battery. Just before I am ready to replace my Lumia 930 with a Lumia 950XL, I suddenly realized, that HERE Drive will stop supporting Windows Phone 10, or Windows 10 Mobile, whatever the name is. This reminds me another question: Will Microsoft upgrade my Lumia 930 from WP 8.1 to WP 10, or whatever it is called? And when? Supposed to be some time last year, according to some articles I read from the internet, but nothing is happening so far.
I can still survive without WP 10, but without Here Drive, what APPs are found handy and useful, which can bring a bit of convenience to my daily life? I don't count anything from windows store. Now an email from Microsoft pops up from my screen, saying that only 5 GB storage space, instead of 15 GB, will be provided as free service of Onedrive to non-subscribers. I subscribed to MS Office 365 and also have 10 GB loyalty-bonus in addition, thus this shrinked 10 GB does not really affect me, but I still don't feel comfortable with the change, and all the changes I've noticed from Micorsoft in the past months.

What can I do?

Goodbye, windows phone. And good luck!

Chengdu to build the largest airport in Western China

With a total investment of 71.86 billion yuan (ca. $11 billion), Chengdu City, Sichuan Province, will build Chengdu Tianfu International Airport, which is the biggest civilian airport to be built during the 13th Five-Year Plan. The construction of the brand new airport will begin after receiving  approval from the National Development and Reform Commission.

The airport is expected to become the biggest one in West China and the fourth largest in China when it comes into service in 2020.

Located in Jianyang city in Southwest China's Sichuan province, the new airport is 51.5 KM away from Chengdu, capital city of Sichuan Province. Once completed, the airport will have six runways and a terminal covering 1.26 million square meters, with a capacity to accommodate 90 million passengers annually.

The most remote love


We stand side by side
all feel the tender tide

No one tears us apart
yet we could never start
