Today, the Chinese have adapted their lives to faster means of transportation and communication brought by the high-speed rail. Fuxing bullet trains advance at a top speed of 350 kilometers per hour on the broad expanse of Chinese territory. I use my camera to record the development and history of China's railways from steam, internal combustion to electric locomotives, and witnessed the whole process of its high-speed railways from scratch. The photos reflect the glorious history of Chinese railways. Behind them are the wisdom and sweat of the railway workers. I regard these photos as flashbacks, a series of dreams fed by emotions, history and memories.
