To honor the century-old French-style train station, I made a trip to Mengzi

When I stood in front of the railway station at Bisezhai in Mengzi, It seemed as though I could see the teachers and students of the National Southwest Associated University, The vibrant faces of the National Southwest Associated University, Singing in unison about this life, 'Only ask about courage, never question east or west.' - This international railway, carved through mountains and valleys purely by human strength, connects China and Vietnam. Due to its track gauge of 1 meter, it is also known as the 'meter-gauge railway.' The British 'The Times' once ranked it alongside the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway, the Panama Canal, and the Suez Canal as one of the three great engineering wonders of the world. Back then, many teachers and students of the National Southwest Associated University traveled via the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway, arriving at Bisezhai Station, and then took a small green-stone train to Mengzi, starting that heroic chapter of the history of saving the nation through knowledge. Caravans and merchants also used this Yunnan-Vietnam Railway to open the doors to global trade. - The unique meter-gauge, the retro platforms... Today's Bisezhai still retains its original appearance from when it opened in 1910 Dress up in a Republic of China student outfit It's quite a scene for photos
