Empty Bullet Trains Packed Green Hell China s Harsh Reality for 900 Million People

This is a scam. I couldn’t help blurting that out the moment I bought the ticket on my phone screen. The app showed that only a few first-class and second-class seats were left. Or sometimes the unfortunate words “Sold Out” would appear on the screen. I stood on the platform, but the moment the doors opened with a rush of wind, a train appeared before me. Yet all that remained was empty space. Look there. The train had already passed Suzhou and was heading toward the big city. The train was bound for Changzhou. Normally, it would be packed with passengers and luggage, making it difficult even to stand. However, even though I kept filming, no one appeared in the frame. This was not a staged production. This was the original recording, completely unedited. It felt as if I were the only person there. The silence was so deep that it seemed as though we were alone inside that enormous mass of steel.
