Yarland FV-34B(￡499)

摘要

When I first visited China in the early-mid 1990s, before the handover of Hong Kong and the complete opening of the floodgates, Chinese-made hardware was dirt cheap but worrisome. I'd seen too many self-immolate and cut my fingers on too many faceplate edges. But it was blatantly, abundantly, obvious that the parallel with Japan of the 1950s was wholly justified. And like the Japanese start-ups of the post-war years, the Chinese have taken a similar amount of time - under two decades - to attain Western levels of quality. The Yarland FV-34B is one of a host of products that illustrate this.
