(260731) -- NAIROBI, July 31, 2026 (Xinhua) -- Communication engineer Zhou Junbing monitors the electromagnetic data along the Mombasa-Nairobi Standard Gauge Railway in Kenya on July 24, 2026. After graduating from Beijing Jiaotong University with a degree in communication engineering, Zhou Junbing joined the Africa Star Railway Operation Company (Afristar) at the age of 27, dedicating himself to the operation of Mombasa-Nairobi Standard Gauge Railway (SGR). At that time, the railway had just begun operations.

The railway stretches 472 km, linking the port city of Mombasa in the southeastern part of the country with the capital city, Nairobi. It is the first modern railway constructed in Kenya since independence and stands as a key achievement of China-Kenya cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative. The Afristar provides operational and technical support for the Mombasa-Nairobi SGR. Today, Zhou is in charge of the technical support for communication equipment serving 26 railway systems along the Mombasa-Nairobi SGR. He spends much of his time on the front line of equipment maintenance and technical support. During his eight years working in Kenya, Zhou has continuously shared his expertise with local employees.
