At present, the high-speed rail is safe and fast, there are many planes and flights, and the highway is in all directions, so it is really comfortable to travel.
In such a comfortable trip, you will unnaturally think of the hardships and hardships of the past.
At that time, there was no high-speed rail, all green-skinned carriages; taking an airplane was a dream, and only those who got a certain level were eligible to ride, and poor students only had green cars to choose from.
Think about taking the train to Wuhan to go to school, and you have to stand full of this road. From Mudanjiang City, Heilongjiang Province, to Wuhan City, Hubei Province, the whole journey is about 2500 kilometers. Three days and two nights of train riding time, the northeast side in the train station for 28 hours, to Wuhan side for 22 hours, the happiest is to go to Beijing after the station without leaving the station and directly transfer, then simply stand for 50 hours.
If you go out of beijing station to sign the ticket, you need to add more than 10 hours, more than 60 hours of suffering, but it is really a tempering of people's will and character. Although you can occasionally find a place to sit in the Beijing station, you have been sitting there, and there is no chance to ease your fatigue. Coupled with the torment of waiting for the bus and the anxiety of not being able to sign the ticket, some Beijing locals look down on the eyes and attitude, so that I still don't like Beijing, I can only say that I left a very bad impression on Beijing during school.
I remember sitting on a Spring Festival plus bus, although there are seats on the car to rest, but the length of time is up to three days and three nights, when I was young, after 72 hours of getting off the bus, my legs and feet became numb, and I felt a little unable to walk at all.
During the school period, you must stand twice a full distance every year, and you can only guarantee a seat number for half of the trip, and the rest must stand up.
At any time, the train was always full of people, and the green-skinned carriage was like a can of human flesh. I could only eat or drink in the car, because sometimes there was no gap to remove the bag, and often the people and bags were separated, each in a different compartment, and only before getting off the car could I squeeze into the place where the luggage was placed.
There are very few opportunities to find a seat back to rely on for a temporary rest, sometimes there is no place to stand, the carriage is full of people (long-distance passengers sleep under the seat), there is no gap between people, all are pasted together, and it is at 38 degrees without air conditioning.
I admired myself, and I was able to develop a good habit of sleeping standing up.
Three days and two nights of inhuman torture, in the overcrowded carriage, mixed with sweat, smell, urine and inexplicable odor, in the 40 degrees high temperature or minus 38 degrees low temperature of all kinds of hardships, sincerely endured the bumps and hunger and thirst along the way.
This kind of suffering and sin is only truly known if I have experienced it myself.
It is difficult to take the bus, it is even more difficult to buy tickets, I remember standing with my classmates and hometowns, standing in the coldest winter night in Wuhan, replacing the queue for a night, staying up for a full 16 hours, just to buy a ticket to go home for the New Year.
Therefore, after graduation, all the tortures such as any hard travel at work, whether there is a seat or not, whether standing or length of time, etc., are really not paid to the heart and body at all.
Having overcome so many difficulties and hardships, why should we care about these small problems?
For individuals who are now enjoying the big traffic environment, they are not very happy to take the high-speed rail and the soft sleeper of the train, because they feel that the sitting time is a bit long, the sleep is not very comfortable, and it is not as fast and convenient as choosing to take the plane.
This is the cultivation of human inertia, and it is also a kind of personal helpless submission to the hedonistic life.
Now that the sky is full of people, I often think: How did I spend this nightmarish journey in a green car during that time?
While admiring ourselves, we are more aware of the comfort and speed of the high-speed rail, and realize the speed and excitement of the plane, precisely because we have squeezed, suffered, suffered, and experienced, so we are harvesting full of happiness at this time.
Away from our green car, it has become a memory of the past, but there is still a little nostalgic taste.
