With the rapid development of railway construction, more and more "slow trains" have completed their historical mission and gradually faded out of people’s sight, and are no longer the "darlings" of railways. However, there are still some places with steep roads and inconvenient transportation, and it is a "slow train" that provides them with the warmest protection. The 5511 "small local train", from Nanning, Guangxi, arrived at China-Vietnam Friendship Pass via Chongzuo and Pingxiang, and connected with Vietnam Railway to Southeast Asia, with a total length of 220 kilometers and 14 stops along the way. This local train is the main means of transportation for villagers living and traveling along the line, which not only carries the hope of villagers getting rid of poverty and getting rich, but also reflects the initial heart and feelings of the people’s railway for the people.
The "slow train" is a convenient car, which solves the travel mode of people along the line. The continued existence of "slow trains" has also provided convenience for rural areas with inconvenient transportation. It is not only short in distance, reasonable in running time, but also relatively low in price, which meets the travel needs of residents along the route and provides a convenient and affordable way for residents along the route to enter the city. Residents along the way regard it as the first choice for going out to work, go out to study, go to the market for medical treatment, and visit relatives and friends. It also transports batches of high-quality and cheap agricultural and sideline products to cities through it, which narrows the distance between cities and villages and brings development dividends to people along the route.
The "slow train" is a rich car, which helps to get rid of poverty with warmth. The "slow train" is a booster for getting rid of poverty and a vivid practice for the people to live a well-off and happy life. Pingxiang is the largest and most convenient land passage from China to Vietnam and Southeast Asia. In June 1992, Pingxiang was approved by the State Council as an open city along the border. This policy has brought vitality to the border. There is Friendship Pass, one of the nine famous passes in China, in Pingxiang, which has won the titles of "Excellent Tourism City in China" and "National Demonstration City for Popular Science", and is known as "Redwood Capital of China" and "The Best Redwood Furniture in China and ASEAN". Pingxiang has brought its important geographical position into full play with practical actions, driving China Railway and China Mahogany to the world, and driving them to get rid of poverty and become rich along the line.
The "slow train" is a happy car, which is the most beautiful scenery in our memory. Although there is no high-speed rail, it leaves a touch of warmth in the mountains, holds up the beautiful dreams of the people along the way, connects the hopes of the people in the border areas, and narrows the distance between the people along the line and a better life. The "slow train" allows people along the line to go out of the border to see the world. During the journey, the scenery along the route is also a harvest. Take the scenery along the way into your arms and be open to the world.
A slow train will never fall behind on the road to a well-off life in the new era. The "slow train" shows that China Railway not only has speed, but also has temperature. The "slow train" carries people’s livelihood, is full of hope, and gains people’s hearts. The speed is fast and the dreams are consistent. The "slow train" and Fuxing’s dream-chasing road go forward together and develop together, warming people in the depths of the mountains and contributing to the construction of Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era!
