On the Chengdu-Kunming Railway, some trains still run at an average speed of under 40 kilometers per hour. The 376-kilometer journey from Puxiong in the Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan Province to Panzhihua Nan takes 11 hours and 4 minutes, with 26 stops along the way. The ticket prices, which range from 25.5 to 2 yuan, have not changed for more than 30 years. In today's fast-paced world, it would seem that this train can't keep up. But on the path to happiness, it is not speed that counts the most. The train's low fares have offered many poor villagers a chance at a better life.
