老家是四川的，早些年在北京工作，每年春节回家就走这趟线，那时候没有高铁，最快的火车也要二十多个小时，不过过秦岭的沿线风景真是很美！有一年遇到大雪，窗外雪景加雾凇，真的就是仙境！怀念。

[@novaksimon9543]

我2014年从西安去成都上大学时，也是走宝鸡-秦岭-略阳这条线，K字开头的，学生票价才不到50块。那个时候一路得14个小时左右。每年寒暑假都是秦岭风景最好的时候。夏季水汽氤氲，青山绿水；冬季皑皑白雪，雾凇沆砀。18年毕业时西成高铁通了，学生票价也是100多一点，但是只需要2个半小时。一晃毕业已经4个年头了，看到这个视频，当年“慢火车”的求学经历仿佛就在昨天。热泪盈眶啊！感恩祖国母亲！！

Tough life in the country side of China, but yet Chinese work very hard to put food on the table. Most Chinese and overseas Chinese appreciate the sacrifices made by their forefathers. Early overseas Chinese who left China to find a better life had sent money to the motherland to help relatives. The ties and bonds to the motherland will live forever as Chinese culture and languages continue to thrive in Chinese diasporas' lives.

[@xz4377]

Those money helped China a lot especially in the WW2. We learnt this fact from the textbook.

I've loved this video so much. I'm very moved after watching it. That's the simple and meaningful life all we deserved. People talking, helping and serving each other like loved brothers and sisters, it's incredible the level of humanity we can see in those trains. Sometimes like this I think the high tech came to destroy our ties with the others sinking us into a lonely cold meaningless life. That train is full of life where our "rat life" has not place.

[@novaksimon9543]

When I went from Xi'an to Chengdu to go to university in 2014, I also took the route of Baoji-Qinling-Lueyang, the student ticket was less than 50 RMB. At that time it took about 14 hours all the way. Every winter and summer vacation is the best time for Qinling scenery. In summer, the water vapor is dense, and the mountains are green; in winter, there is snow and smog. When I graduated in 2018, the Xicheng high-speed rail has constructed, and the student ticket was a little more than 100 RMB, but it only took two and a half hours. It has been four years since graduation and seeing this video, the experience of studying in the "slow train" in those days seems to be yesterday. Tears filled my eyes! Love for motherland!!

This reminds me 50 some years ago when I was a kid in Taiwan. Kids in neighborhood play on the street after school, we had one ball so we played softball with a stick, rode on train like this and mom shops at the local market where farmers bring fresh produce picked that morning, little grocery store delivers to home and keeps a paper charge journal. Compare to now we were not rich but we didn’t know; I only remember we were happy. One slogan from that era stays with me was ‘we work six days a week while the west works five, we will catch up’, and this spirit helped me to compete with native as an immigrant in US 30 some years ago. Shame to admit I have been domesticated now. Mainland China is doing the same and catching up fast. Bravo.

But more importantly I want to have a chance to experienced it myself one day hahahaha.....

[@StandWithUkraineAndLiberalism]

When I worked in China from 2016 to 2018, I deliberately avoided high-speed trains unless if they were urgent business trips. My childhood China was the one full of old green trains drilling through rough (but beautiful) mountain terrains, and I miss the feeling of sharing food, space, and life experience with other passengers. This is why whenever I get a change to travel to China, I always stick with the green trains just to preserve my memories and the legacy.

[@Wann-zo7rn2qn4i]

I'm sure the Chinese government will preserve it as part of their poverty alleviation programs. Even when occupancy was down to 20%, they did not scrape it. It is the lifeline for the rural community. And the tickets are just so dirt cheap. The green trains. I also hope to ride on one, one day.

Few years ago I took a slow train just like the one in the video when I was travelling in Shanxi province. For people who come from a big city and travel by high speed rail on a daily basis, it was rather an interesting experience. Interestingly, the staff who work on these slower trains in remote parts of the country seem to be more friendly and welcoming. One thing I remember fondly to this day is that the train staff was quite surprised when I spoke without any local accent and started chatting with me. The atmosphere was very relaxing and we had a really nice talk, from food culture to the places I've visited. I got off the train at Datong, a city well-known for its ancient town. I spent a few days there before I took the train again. Surprisingly, it happened to me that the train heading back was the exact same one that I took to come to Datong, and I came across with the same staff member who was chatting with me a few days ago. We were amused to see each other again. He offered me tea and we chatted the whole journey back. I left him a souvenir as a gift before I got off the train.
