In Shaanxi Province, the No. 6064 train starts its 11-hour journey at dawn. It runs 350 km from Guangyuan in Sichuan to Baoji in Shaanxi, with 33 stops. Tickets are very cheap, starting at only 4 yuan.
This train is special. One carriage is like a farmers' market. The charity slow train provides rural passengers with a unique space to sell their produce and connect with the outside world conveniently. Farmers, like 70-year-old Jiang Minglin, use it to sell their produce. Jiang has relied(依赖) on this train for decades. He brings fresh vegetables to sell in the neighboring county every two days. Another carriage is a “library” with 3,300 books for students.
In 2023, free medical services were added. The chief conductor, Xiang Baolin, has worked on this train since 1987. He saw big changes. In the past, the train was uncomfortable. In winter, there was coal smoke, and in summer, it was very hot. Conductors like him had to prepare two days' meals for each trip as there was no dining carriage on board. Now, it has heating and air conditioning. Xiang is not just a conductor but also a friend to passengers.
Thanks  to  the  train, farmers' lives  are  getting  better. They used to bring dry buns to eat on the train and rarely bought new clothes. Now, they sell their goods and return home with bags full of groceries and goods. They're more willing to spend money on themselves. Along the route, industries like agritourism(农业旅游) are growing. Although there are more high-speed trains, this charity slow train will still run, helping rural areas develop.
