In the era of high-speed rail, the "slow train" with small stops and low fares not only solves the travel problems of the people in the mountainous areas, but also allows all kinds of agricultural products to go out of the mountains by train, igniting the hope of the villagers along the line to increase their income and get rich. Although the train is slow, it has run out of the road of rural revitalization and prosperity.
At half past four in the morning, before dawn, Liu Ende, a villager who lives in Xikuma Village, Shicheng Town, Fengcheng City, Dandong, Liaoning Province, got up early to grind tofu, while his wife and grandson sorted and packed the eggs, honey and mushrooms at home, and by the way, they also caught two home-raised big roosters and put them into woven bags. On February 6th, the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, the folk proverb called "the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, slaughtering chickens and catching up with the big set", they had to take the 4318 7th train, the last "train big set" before the year.
Train 4318 7 is a public welfare "slow train" between Tonghua in Jilin Province and Dandong in Liaoning Province, and it is also the only passenger train between the two places. Ten years ago, it was a problem for people in mountainous areas to get around. Nowadays, the first traffic flow is intertwined, outlining a new picture of rural revitalization.
Villagers get on the bus to sell mountain goods.
Jilin Tonghua and Liaoning Dandong are both located in mountainous areas, and in 2013, the Tonghua to Guanshui Railway built by China Railway Shenyang Bureau Group will connect the two places. Train 4318 7 is the first and only passenger train between the two places. The train runs 321 kilometers each way, passing through 17 stations, 11 of which are boarding and landing points, and the lowest fare is only 6 yuan.
Recalling the situation on the day of the opening of the ** car, 79-year-old Liu Ende still remembers it vividly: "On the day of the opening of the train, everyone set off firecrackers and twisted Yangge, not to mention how lively it was. "When the train first started, many people along the line saw the train for the first time, and some villagers deliberately took this train to experience the feeling of taking the train for themselves. The transportation in the mountainous areas is inconvenient, and when the heavy snow closes the mountains, the train becomes the only choice for the people to travel. Therefore, this train is also affectionately called "convenient train" by the people in the mountainous areas.
Li Wengang, the 42-year-old first conductor of the 4318 7th train, has witnessed the development of the public welfare "slow train" for 10 years: from the very old-fashioned green car, which had to burn a boiler for water on the car, to the current air-conditioned car. At the same time, he has also witnessed the earth-shaking changes in the lives of the people in the mountainous areas, and has formed a deep relationship with everyone.
Liu still remembers the first time he took the train, and he planned to take the train to the Phoenix market, which is the closest to his home, to sell mountain goods. At the beginning, Liu Ende only brought some mountain mushrooms, and the passengers in the same car saw that the mountain goods he brought were of good quality and low, so they bought a lot on the spot. What Liu Ende didn't expect was that he was caught by the train captain Li Wengang for the first time selling mountain goods on the train. According to railway regulations, passengers are not allowed to sell goods on the train.
Unexpectedly, the conductor was considerate of us, telling me that the train was not allowed to sell goods, but he bought all my mushrooms, and told me when he would pick good mushrooms. Since then, he has often bought mushrooms from me, and he has also mobilized the conductor to buy them together. Liu Ende said.
A market for agricultural goods was held on the train.
At the beginning of the train, many passengers took souvenirs with them to the nearby markets to sell, some carried agricultural goods beyond the weight limit, and some secretly sold souvenirs on the train.
In the face of these non-compliant behaviors, the Shenyang railway department has set up a special agricultural supermarket on the train, and built a sales platform for the villagers through carriages or luggage cars.
At 10:49, the train arrived at Tongjia Station. Li Wengang reminded the villagers to pay attention to safety, and at the same time greeted the villagers who were familiar with him, and helped them carry the mountain goods into the car by the way. The carriage is decorated with joy and full of New Year's flavor. The villagers skillfully put their mountain goods on the display shelf, and they were surrounded in front of the display shelf.
Mushrooms cost 30 yuan a bag, and there are only these two bags left, and you have to take 50 yuan for both. ”
This is a home-grown stupid egg, boiled and eaten old. ”
Usually, you can earn three or four hundred yuan by catching a 'train set', and there are many passengers who buy New Year's goods a year ago, so it is not a problem to earn seven or eight hundred yuan. Liu Ende said.
More and more villagers, like Liu Ende, regularly come to the car to sell mountain goods. 4318 7 times "Train Collection" has also become a well-known brand, and many passengers come here just to experience the chic "Train Collection".
The two big roosters brought by Liu Ende were matched by the buyer as soon as they got in the car, and they were sold at 68 yuan each. Mr. Wang, a passenger, told reporters: "I heard that there was a New Year's gathering on the car, so I deliberately chose to take this 'slow train', and I just bought some New Year's goods on the way home, and they are all local products in the mountains, fresh and cheap, which is really good." ”
The mountain goods were sold out quickly, and there were still many travelers who did not buy them. Li Wengang pointed to the *** in the propaganda column and recommended it to everyone: "If you want to buy mountain goods, you can scan this *** and leave a message in the group if you want to buy anything, and the villagers will contact you after seeing it." ”
At 12:27, the train arrived at Phoenix Station. The villagers got out of the car one after another, and they agreed to go to the market to buy some New Year's goods. Liu Ende, who sold out of mountain goods, was in a good mood, and said goodbye to the train captain Li Wengang, and he sang as he walked: "A big road, through my ......."”
"Slow train" turned into "get rich car".
Liu Wei is one of only two university students and the only graduate student in Xikuma Village, Fengcheng City, Dandong, Liaoning Province. In this remote mountain village with less than 60 households, he is the pride of the whole village. However, Liu Wei's family conditions are very difficult, his mother is deaf and mute, and his father is also sick all the year round. Before the opening of the railway, the family lived on one acre and three points of land, and life was tight, and Liu Wei once thought about dropping out of school to help the family with farm work.
After the opening of the 4318 7th train, Liu Wei's mother also sold mountain goods on the train with the villagers, and the family's conditions gradually improved. The worries were solved, and Liu Wei also took this "slow train" to start a long road to study. Ten years later, Liu Wei has completed a master's degree in medicine and is interning at a hospital in Tianjin.
4318 The 7 'slow trains' not only improved my family's living conditions, but also gave me the opportunity to get out of the ravine, not only as a means of transportation for me to go out to study, but also as a 'car to get rich' to lead our family. Liu Wei said.
From opening up the road of poverty alleviation to opening a "train market", the market on the "slow train" has opened up the sales channels of agricultural products of the villagers along the line. In recent years, the car has also been carried out by means of e-commerce live broadcast, so that all kinds of agricultural products from the villages along the way can go out of the mountains by train, which is not only convenient for passengers who want to buy pure local products, but also ignites the hope of villagers along the line to increase their income and get rich.
The wheels are rolling, and the whistle is sounding. The train traveled through the vast mountains, carrying the villagers along the road of happiness for the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside.
