You can try train 5612 in 2018 from Chongqing to Neijiang, It's going the same route and using old non-aircondition coaches, traveling with same speed in old time. Feels like back to the past.
Wonderful video. From Chengdu to ChongQing in 1988 would take around 22 hours depend which class. Now just under 3 hours if one bullet train doesn't hit another bullet train.
Wow amazing footage what a far cry from chinas bullet trains today... This video is a very important piece of documentation especially in the context of a rapidly developing china!! Thanks for sharing!!
It reminds me of the journey I took back in 80' travelling in China, unfortunately I could not get the soft bunk as it was only reserved for the VIP or foreigners.....one carriage for every train at that time....It was my dream to try it as you can't stand with the hard bunk and seat sharing with the locals after 3 days on the train.........you guys were really lucky......even now foreigners still criticise Chinese of the human rights or what not, just think about the human rights the Chinese have been giving them .....lol
thank you for sharing. it reminds me of the green trains in my childhood. you were lucky to have soft-sleeper, which ordinary chinese people don;t have the right to take in the 1980s.
China was already industrialized even before the People's Republic was established in 1949. However, in those decades industrial production represented only a fraction of China's total economic output. The conversion from an agrarian economy to an industrialized one did not really take off until the 1980s. What happened from there is nothing short of incredible.
How was China "industrialized" before 1949? There were only two areas where major industrialization had occurred in China and that was in Northeast China ("Manchuria") which was done by the imperialist japanese and in the lower Yangtze Valley as that was the political and economic base of Chiang Kai-shek and the Kuomintang. ALL other parts of China were pre-industrial. Even Hong Kong was an impoverished city. AND by 1949 the industries in the lower Yangtze Valley had been destroyed by the japanese while the Northeast was also damaged by the war AND the Soviets had dismantled most of the industries in the Northeast and taken them to the Soviet Union. Basically the Chinese communists spent the 1950s rebuilding the Northeast and the lower Yangtze Valley industries. But by the late 1950s what little amount had been built back up by the Chinese communists was heavily damaged by Mao's idiotic "Great Leap Forward".
