Hello everyone, we meet again. Today we are going to chat about a topic: learning about vehicles through Chinese, the last mile commute solution. Has everyone encountered this kind of situation? After getting off the subway, you find it still takes over ten minutes to get to the company, or over ten minutes to reach your destination. This is what we usually call the 'last mile'.
