About
On a rainy night in the Beidahuang forest area in 1969, the small train brought another group of educated youth from major cities across the country. Yang Bingkui, the stationmaster of Baihualin Railway Station, looked at the young and youthful faces and had a premonition that the arrival of this group of people would bring about earth-shaking changes to Beidahuang.
