The faces of vegetable farmers on the 'Backpack Line
01?On December 14, 2024, Chongqing, China, Grandpa Gu (69 years old) said that in the past, he could only sell vegetables in Shichuan Town. After the opening of Line 4, he often took the "backpack line" to the city to sell vegetables.
The Chongqing Rail Transit Line 4 in China, with a total length of approximately 48.5 kilometers, connects Shichuan Town in the rural Yubei District with the central urban area. Every morning at around 6 o'clock, on the first subway to the city, vegetable farmers will travel from the rural areas of Shichuan Town to various stations in the central city to sell vegetables in the city. Elderly people aged 65 and above can take the subway for free, saving more than 10 yuan in transportation costs by making one trip.
