Locals' train of thought returns to old station

The Beiying station in Shanxi's provincial capital Taiyuan was pulled down to give way to an elevated road leading to the newly built south high-speed railway station that started operation in August.

For Zhu Jie, 50, who had worked at the station for more than three decades, and many other residents whose lives were closely related to the old building, the former station remains firmly in their memories.

The station, established in 1933, was a major transportation hub for south Taiyuan in 1981 when Zhu started his work there.
