Travel Memory-My Train Complex

I am a person with a train complex. I have been in love with this kind of transportation since I took the green leather car for the first time eight years ago. The sonorous voice walked slowly, and the scenery outside the window and my thoughts changed a lot.

The longest train.

The longest train trip is to Xinjiang, from Fuzhou to Urumqi. At that time, the air ticket was slightly cheaper than the train berth ticket and the time was shorter, but I chose to take the train.

All the way across the whole of China, starting from Fujian, passing through Jiangxi, Hubei, Henan, Shaanxi, Gansu and Qinghai, and finally reaching Xinjiang, * * * has passed through eight provinces, from the southernmost green mountains and green waters, all the way to the northwest, through mountains, through Pingchuan, through valleys, through Gobi and into the desert, becoming more desolate and desolate.

This train, * * * experienced two days and two nights, sitting by the window, watching the scenery, listening to music, thinking, not talking to anyone, only talking to myself. The more I feel the beauty of "one side of water and soil supports one side of people", the more I feel that "there is great beauty in heaven and earth without saying anything".

I yearn for the small courtyard halfway up the mountain. Who lives here? This isolated life, with this mountain as its partner and everything as its neighbor, is the ideal of many literati. Does the owner of this yard know or not? Wang Wei's favorite poem "hibiscus hibiscus flowers at the bottom of the wood, red calyx in the mountains." There's no one at home. It's left open. "Shouldn't it happen here?

I thought of the weeds in the Gobi desert. They have no trace of green, and they are as yellow as the earth. They grow together in clusters. At first glance, they seem to be dry and dead, but they are all alive, trying their best to absorb the nutrients of life.

I was moved by a light fog in the mountains. Beautiful Shan Lan hangs halfway up the mountain, just like a sigh of the mountain god. I can't help but think of Bai Juyi's poem "There are forests among the islands and trees, and the clouds are exhausted by the rain." The color of Shan Lan is heavy, and the sound of water is cold in May. "

I think China's language, China's philosophy and China's poems and paintings all come from this world.

The slowest train

The slowest train is in Kenya, from the capital Nairobi to Mombasa (one of the locations of Inception). This railway was built by Britain before the Second World War. It should have been a longitudinal railway from Egypt to South Africa.

The distance from Nairobi to Mombasa is only the distance from Zhengzhou to Xi 'an. I walked 19 hours, which is the slowest train I have ever taken. It took me 19 hours. This is the cheapest train I have ever taken, which is equivalent to the fare in 45 yuan. All the way through the African prairie, many small villages are embedded in it, and the scenery is very beautiful. There are few people in the carriage. The wind blowing in from the window blew away the heat in Africa. On the way, we will meet students in school uniforms or local villagers. They always waved to us excitedly, and we leaned out of the window and waved to them.

There are no staff on the train wandering around selling food and drink. At first, at every stop, three or two people will carry fruits or fried cakes one by one, and then get off at the next stop. Later, no one came up to sell, only people were carrying baskets on the roadside to sell some local food. People on the train came down to buy around him. We didn't care at that time, thinking that someone would come to the car to sell it later, but no one came up and no one was on the roadside. We are hungry and have to wait for the end.

When we returned to Nairobi from Mombasa, we chose the train. The train was supposed to be at six o'clock in the evening. We bought some food in front of the station, and then hurried to the station to wait for the bus. Kenya's railway station has no waiting room, so it waits at the platform directly.

The train was late. When will it be late? The staff is not clear. There is only one train from Nairobi to Mombasa. It goes from Nairobi to Mombasa and then back from Mombasa, so the ticket is every other day, not every day. I haven't arrived in Mombasa from Nairobi yet, and I'm sure it will be late.

Many people are waiting for the bus at the station, probably influenced by Inception, and there are many European and American tourists. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, etc.

At three o'clock in the morning, we heard the sound of the train running on the tracks, and we woke up at once, refreshed. Before long, the train really arrived, and no staff went up to clean it. We went straight in and found a long seat to lie down. After about a few minutes, the train started slowly.

At that time, I had been traveling outside for half a year, and I was not initially sensitive and thoughtful about what I saw and heard. I'm a little tired and numb. I listened to Tayu Lo's "Love Song 1990" all day that day: "The boundless road is your wandering, looking for it is my step, the dark pillow is your tenderness, and the morning when I wake up is my sadness, maybe tomorrow.

A small life with misty thoughts, a warm place and a cosmopolitan river and lake are always two directions, neither of which can be satisfied.

The busiest train

The most lively train is in India, and the wonders of Indian trains have long been heard on the domestic network. Of course, we must try it in India. India can also wait for the bus directly at the platform. Many people jumped off the platform and crossed the tracks to the opposite side. It is said that a certain number of people in India are killed by trains every year because of this, but this kind of behavior is still very common.

The ticket is just a small card, and sometimes I don't know which train it is after studying for a long time. It is easy for foreigners to get on the wrong bus. India is also divided into express trains and slow trains. I bought a local train at that time, and the tickets were very cheap. I saw a train coming from the platform, looked at the direction we were going, and I got on the train with the crowd. The car that entered was a sleeper, and the berth was normal. The middle bunk can be removed. Just find a place to do it. We did their position, only to find that this is her husband's position. Her husband never reminded us to give way, but stood at the intersection of the car in front. After thanking him, he moved to a side position and crowded with the locals.

Later, a chubby tall conductor checked the ticket and said, "You are on the wrong bus. The fare of this bus is four times that of your hand." We can only say we don't know. He gabbled a lot, and everyone around him was laughing. We just shook our heads to show that we didn't understand. Finally, he had to reluctantly ask the people next to him if we were allowed to sit in their bunks. They all nodded in agreement, and the man went down. Once again, we sincerely thank the people around us for their acceptance. Without a replacement ticket, we were transported to a cheap carriage, which shows that India is a very human country.

The favorite thing about Indian trains is that many people come up to sell local snacks at every station. Every time I hear the chanting of "Chai Chai ~", I am always happy. I saw a man coming, with a stack of disposable paper cups in his coat pocket, a small bag with a tea bag on his shoulder and a big teapot with milk in his hand, and the spout was steaming. As long as you give him 10 rupees (equivalent to about RMB 1 yuan), he will take out a paper cup from his pocket, unfold it, put it in a tea bag, pour in hot milk, and then he can drink sweet and greasy milk tea.

Indian trains, people, languages, beliefs, habits and diets are all like this cup of tea, sweet and lively.

The most dreamy train

Now, I went to Qian's home by sea train. They sat side by side on the train, with the sea and blue sky and white clouds behind them. The train is running on the vast sea, and the music is playing quietly ... this paragraph is my favorite. Later, when I arrived in Sri Lanka, I went to experience the small train at sea, the inspiration place of Miyazaki Hayao.

The train runs along the Indian Ocean, and the nearest place to the sea is less than one meter. There are only two crew members on the train, that is, the train driver, so the train door here is never closed. You can hang yourself outside, or you can sit at the door with your legs hanging outside. The sea water can splash on your face near the sea. The seats are similar to those of domestic subways. Miyazaki Hayao, wearing a black robe and a black turban, must be sitting on this small train, and he suddenly had an inspiration. He remembered the plot of The Little Train at Sea and the image of Kaonashi.

There are also small trains in Sri Lanka, walking on high mountain tea gardens. I like valleys, tea gardens, Woods, streams, cooking smoke, mountain springs and trains. In this way, a small train took me to collect all these wonderful things. There are also trains in the mountains of China, but the country likes to dig mountains, so trains always drill tunnels. The train here is halfway up the mountain, and the valley scenery is panoramic, just like a fairy tale. Sitting in front of the train, hanging outside, passing by the cliff, I feel like I'm walking in the sky.

Much like the Wizard of Oz, the train walks freely in the forest, lying against the window, and the mountain wind blows clearly. I feel all the pores are open, and I am absorbing the aura here. Words cannot express the wonder of that feeling. I only spent 12 yuan on a small mountain train in the afternoon and arrived at a small mountain village called Ella. I live at the head of the village, which is the highest place in the village and overlooks the whole valley. There is a big tree at the door. In the evening, I sat under the big tree and looked at the moon on the treetops. There was no sound in the silent mountain except cricket, and a dog sat there quietly looking at me. There is a cloud in the sky.

Whether it is Spirited Away or the Wizard of Oz, art comes from life and is higher than life. Occasionally remind yourself to keep a clear and sensitive heart and live the most poetic life.

Travel, travel, travel, train is an essential part. Sitting on the train from one place to another, the scenery outside the window will always be different. There must be some breath and spirituality that suits me, and I have infiltrated my blood and bone marrow unconsciously. This may be the meaning of travel.
