Chinese on the Train is one of the representative works of China Photographers' Association member Wang Fuchun. Wang, who used to be a railway worker, photographed people on the train over a period of more than 30 years from 1978 to 2014. He traveled all around China by train and shot tens of thousands of pictures on the way.

Wang said the train is a microcosm of Chinese society, reflecting all aspects of the life of the Chinese people. His works in black and white tell unique stories about China and stand as witnesses to the rapid development and tremendous progress of railways in the past 30 years.
