Lisa: Good morning, Pierre. I'm Lisa from A Bite of Xiamen. We've heard your restaurant The Pierre's is really famous these days. Do you have a minute for several questions?

Pierre: Sure, Lisa. It's my pleasure.

Lisa: So how long have you stayed in China?

Pierre: Um … I came to China in 2002. I met my wife here and now we have two sons.

Lisa: Wow, that's 20 years! How do you feel about China?

Pierre: I love this country. It's now much like my second hometown. I must say I'm really surprised and happy about the fast development here.

Lisa: Glad to hear that. Then what brought you to Xiamen?

Pierre: Well, I chose Xiamen as it's a perfect place for both business and relaxation. I fell in love with it on my first trip here.

Lisa: Then what are the specials in your restaurant?

Pierre: Actually, I have created some dishes that combine the best of French and Cantonese food (粤菜).

Lisa: Really? I can't wait to have a try. What do you want to say to the people who love your restaurant?
