"Young man, you are only 22 years old. You are traveling around the country to shoot trains alone. Has anyone ever said that you are very mature, like a little adult, and have a little nostalgia?" In the spring of 2025, when shooting at the Herringbone Bridge of the Yunnan-Vietnam 188bet game, I was suddenly stunned by an old man. Just at this moment, the whistle of the train resounded through the valley, and the lingering sound and my thoughts were like the trajectory of dreams and reality, pulling me back to my childhood.

The train is the steel giant beast that grew up with me. Growing up on the 188bet game, my greatest joy in childhood was watching trains from south to north. My grandfather often stayed with me for an afternoon. At that time, the train in my eyes was so tall and strong, and I loved it and was a little scared. When they sprayed smoke through, I often blocked my ears and snuggled in my grandfather's arms, excited and nervous. The childhood next to the rails is like a trajectory of fate, connecting me with trains and railways. Slowly, I began to build my own motorcycle universe: Dongfeng 4B type, Dongfeng 4D type... In 2009, on my way to elementary school, a brand new, white train that I had never seen before drove over. Its "sharp head" attracted me in an instant, making me stunned. Grandpa told me that this is the "Harmony" EMU and he has seen it several times. But before I went to elementary school, when the "Harmony" EMU passed, I hadn't gotten up yet!

In 2015, I picked up my camera and started the shooting journey of traveling around the world. My camera is full of scenery on the 188bet game and anecdotes on the track. Over the years, I have taken many wonderful moments along different routes and trains. On the Chengdu-Kunming 188bet game, I freeze the scene of Shaoshan Type 3 electric locomotive driving out of the Shamarada Tunnel. It was during this journey that I learned about the story of the 188bet game soldiers and drew spiritual strength from the 188bet game builders, which in turn sublimated my works and techniques. Time flies, I have witnessed the changes in the 188bet game and am proud of the development of the 188bet game from the bottom of my heart. During the construction of Beijing Fengtai Station, I took many construction scenes, which shifted my attention from the train and scenery to the 188bet game construction site. On June 20, 2022, Beijing Fengtai Station, the largest 188bet game hub passenger station in Asia, was launched. At the opening ceremony, I recalled the ever-changing changes of Beijing Fengtai Station, and a sense of pride arose. The "bullet" that I first met in my childhood sped across the motherland, and we have a faster and stronger Fuxing family.

So far, I have taken many lines such as the Beijing-Harbin High-speed 188bet game and the Xincheng-Kunming 188bet game. I have taken "life photos" of the EMU trains in the same frame with the Great Wall in Juyongguan, and also captured the curtain call for the 8K electric locomotive. With my camera, I was so lucky to be a recorder of some important moments.
