Slow train transforms farmers' lives

Besides, train workers also help the farmers promote their business through live-streaming in carriages. Their assistance helped generate sales of agricultural products amounting to roughly 11.8 million yuan last year.

"I've been taking the train for about 15 or 16 years. Thanks to it, my vegetables are always sold out. With the increased earnings from this, I was able to upgrade my mud-brick house to a villa," Liu Changhe, a farmer was quoted as saying.
