Have you ever ridden on a train packed with people, where everyone is squeezed against each other and heels are pressed upon heels?
The scariest part was that the train he was on was a steam train, not even a decent passenger train, clanking and moving so slowly, making him long for the high-speed trains of the future even more.
The air inside the carriage was awful too, everyone squatting on their luggage. Dressed in his military uniform, Zheng Long had to maintain his image and step forward to help when needed. Want to say you're tired and want to sit down to rest? Ha, there were hardly any seats available.
Luckily, it was mealtime and the dining car opened. The food on the train didn't require food stamps, but it was much more expensive than outside, so those who could afford to dine there were generally the wealthy with sleeper compartments.
