In the 1970s, Germany assisted the Wuhan cold -rolled steel factory. At that time, a German engineer accompanied his wife to take a walk by the Yangtze River. When the lady saw the scenery of the meeting between the Han River and the Yangtze River, she could not help thinking of her hometown. Duisburg, located at the intersection of the Rhine and tributaries, was also an industrial city.

The lady immediately wrote a letter to the mayor of Duisburg after returning, calling on her hometown to form a friendly city with Wuhan.

In 1982, the two cities held hands and became the first friendly city of China and Germany.

In the eyes of Mayor of Sauron Link, Duisburg and Wuhan are both a "city of water and fire", and there are many similarities between the two cities.

In central China, at the intersection of the Yangtze River and the Hanjiang River, Wuhan, a city of nine provinces.

In western Germany, at the intersection of the Rhine and the River River, it nourishes the water and land transportation hub -Duisburg.

Thousands of miles away from the two cities, both were the center of the steel industry. Mayor Sauron Link also mentioned in an interview with the reporter from the Yangtze River Daily that "focusing on the steel industry is the starting point of 40 years of friends."

Duisburg is an important industrial city in Ruher, the largest industrial zone in Europe, and an important water and land transportation hub in Europe. It has the world's largest inland port. In recent years, Duisburg, which has undergone industrial transformation, is changing from steel capital to transport port. However, in the face of competitive pressure and energy transformation, Duisburg suffered a bottleneck in development and looked forward to releasing potential.

In early 2010, many Chinese cities hoped to issue international railway joint trains to Europe. However, most European sectors of Europe have skepticism of the stability, security and feasibility of China -Europe trains. The train drove to Germany, and it became a problem in which city. As Wuhan Friendship City, Duisburg welcomes the Central and EUlars, and Duisburg's "Chinese Story" has also opened a new chapter.

In March 2011, the first Central and European trains (Chongqing -Duisburg) successfully operated. In July 2015, the central and European trains departed from Wuhan also used Duisburg as the end. Two cities, which are also logistics hubs, are linked together because of this train. Right now, Duisburg, Wuhan Friendship City, has become the first stop for 80%of trains from China to stop in Europe. It is one of the most closely linked cities in Germany and China.

"The prosperity of the Duisburg Port is inseparable from the contribution of the China -Europe trains." In the interview, Fu Xin mentioned a common scene on a Duisburg highway. "If you drive on the highway, you will continue to meet Central Europe. The cargo car, drive one by one from you. "

Xue Jin, deputy minister of the German Company Comprehensive Department of Wuhan Hano International Logistics Co., Ltd., told reporters: "With the development of the China -Europe trains (Changjiang), it has promoted the exchanges between Wuhan and Duisburg in all aspects of politics, economy, and culture. The connection between the two parties is closer. "
