Nevertheless, for lack of critical technologies at that time, we only concentrated on conventional high-speed rail, said Sun Zhang,     6    is a leading railway specialist. But the research team       7     (lead) by him, tried their best to learn advanced technologies from foreign countries and eventually developed our own innovations, greatly       8     (transform) our way of life.
