In recent years, the number of China-Vietnam trains connecting Guangxi, China and Hanoi, Vietnam, has been continuously improved, and the categories of goods have also been expanding, adding a steady stream of impetus to the import and export of China and Vietnam and ASEAN countries.
Recently, Nanning International Railway Port sent the last China-Vietnam train from Nanning, Guangxi to Hanoi, Vietnam during the Spring Festival. Because Vietnam celebrates the Lunar New Year with China, the train loaded with 130 tons of beverages is customarily called the "New Year Freight Train".
At 3:13 a.m., the "New Year's Goods Train" arrived at Pingxiang Station smoothly, and Zeng Nanping and his colleagues began to work separately. At 6 o'clock in the morning, after completing all the pick-up operations, Zeng Nanping and five other staff members boarded the "guard car", and a passenger car attached to Pingxiang Station was transformed into a "mobile office", carrying the pick-up staff from the Youyiguan railway port.
This year is the last Spring Festival for the China-Vietnam cross-border train, and he often says that he "goes abroad more times a day than eats".
Zeng Nanping, handover officer of Pingxiang Station of Nanning Train Depot of Nanning Bureau of National Railway: At the busiest time, there were five trains a day, three during the day and two at night.
After escorting the goods to Vietnam safely, Zeng Nanping and his colleagues will return to China in a "guard car" on the same day.
China and Vietnam are connected by mountains and rivers, and a railway allows Guangxi and Vietnam to flow smoothly and become more and more intimate. Behind decades of transport cooperation is the perseverance of countless railway workers like Zeng Nanping in the two countries. Under the guidance of the China-Vietnam Joint Statement signed not long ago, the China-Vietnam cross-border standard-gauge railway connection will be promoted, and the road to common prosperity dedicated by generations will be wider and wider.
