Under a vaulted canopy at Hangzhou Railway Station in the late 2000s, a dense crowd presses toward the doors between two carriages. Parkas, backpacks, and bowed heads fill the foreground; the scuffed metal of the train is the only open surface. Rendered in black and white, the scene distills the press and patience of Chinese rail travel during a decade of rapid change.
