Goodbye old and stubborn steam train

In the eyes of the people, the steam locomotive majestic has a special meaning. But with the development of society, the steam locomotive has been advanced diesel locomotive, electric locomotive out. In Europe and the United States, the last century fifty or sixty's out of it, and the Chinese mainland has continued into early twenty-first Century is still running, to become the world's steam locomotive retired the last state. Nearly 40 years of filming, I have the honour to record these ancient train the most precious moments!

����A steam train last

In 2005, I went to Inner Mongolia to shoot large depot steam train finally retired. To see all of the locomotive are broke down, "wheeze" rhythm more and more slowly, like the old life came to an end when the last breath. I knew then is complete flameout, the locomotive coal unloading light, then put water, it is finished, a locomotive is completely dead. When I look at a naked locomotive in the end online quietly parked, heart very uncomfortable, very heavy. Like a bunch of old man's life was over. 27 cars, all fire. Leaving only 4 stationsTraveling,, and who pays, can pack the car, and then re-ignition, lap along a dedicated line. Also left a do exhibition, other nearly 100 Taiwan, all sell scrap metal cutting.

On that day, the fire after the ceremony, I took a picture of "the last photo", all the driver, fireman, all stations on the locomotive crew. I am excited to press the shutter -- remember this moment in history.

Then I asked the old driver mood, "recently the old dream, a dream in the car. I don't want to come off sentry duty. Although the dirty steam train work, summer sweat, winter body cream, covered in oil, even if the home take a shower, got into bed, wife also can smell the oil. But if I come off sentry duty, cannot open the train, I can't stand it." In retrospect, China steam locomotive end in succession: around 2001,HarbinRailway Bureau last locomotive "tractor" is pushed to the museum booth in Jixi locomotive depot. Then with the dead, put in the crystal coffin, a kind.

It seems, everything always have it die, no one can stop. But the people to love, to love them, because they once and humans in close harmony, made many contributions to mankind, it is worthy of our sorry, miss, miss them.

A steam train, is worthy of love of mankind forever friends!
