Скачать или смотреть Hangzhou to Beijing Overnight Train: A Cinematic Journey & Career Talk | 25-26 May 2023

25–26 May 2023. Overnight train from Hangzhou to Beijing.

Casual footage by the filmmaker of Masters in the Forbidden City and Every Treasure Tells a Story. Night scenes. Daytime scenes racing through Shandong and Hebei. Exiting Beijing Railway Station. Cinematic, all of it.

Slow down, see the world. Capture passing landscapes through the window.

Night. Day. Like a slow-moving film.

Departing Hangzhou Station, through the night across the East China Plain, into the North China morning. Night: scattered village lights like stars. Dawn: Shandong and Hebei—farmland, villages, endless. Train moving slowly. Watching slowly.

Before boarding, chatting with a friend at an intersection.

He's been in foreign trade for years. His take: it suits people without family wealth but willing to work hard. Low entry barrier, high ceiling.

That conversation lingered on the train.

Online debates: the prestige of a corporate job, or the real income of a salesperson?

Some say big companies offer stability, benefits, clear career paths. Others say commission is low, newbies barely exist.

Small companies: flexible, hands-on, you learn the whole process. Essential for aspiring entrepreneurs. But some complain of poor systems, limited resources, total self-reliance.

One ten-year veteran: “Foreign trade only cares about performance. How much you earn for the company—that's all that matters”.

On the train, landscapes shifting.

Those career questions—flowing like the view.

———

Where do we begin to understand a city, a journey?

Through a train window—Hangzhou at night, Shandong and Hebei by day, entering Beijing Railway Station.
Through a friend's casual talk—struggles and insights about career choices, trades for the hardworking.
Through a slowed-down rhythm—a train's unhurried pace, time to stare out the window and drift.

2023年5月25日至26日，从杭州去北京，夜间车。

《我在故宫修文物》《如果国宝会说话》导演随手拍。沿途风景，有夜间景象，有白天奔驰在山东河北的景象，还有出北京站的场景。一路都蛮有电影感。

慢下来看世界，火车沿途的风景拍一拍。

有夜景，有白天，就像在看慢节奏的电影。

从杭州站出发，经过一夜，穿越华东平原，进入华北大地。夜间，窗外偶尔闪过村镇的灯火，像散落的星星。天亮后，进入山东、河北境内，窗外的风景变成了大片农田和村庄。火车慢慢开着，人可以慢慢看着。

上车前，在十字路口和送行的朋友聊了一会儿。

他做外贸行业多年，有一些心得。他说外贸很适合他这种家底不厚但勤奋努力的人。这行门槛不高，但天花板可以很高。

这个话题，后来在火车上还在想。

网上有很多人讨论：是要大厂上班的体面？还是要外贸销售员的实打实收入？

有人说，大公司工作稳定、环境舒适、福利优厚、晋升通道明确。但也有人说，大公司提成低，不缺客户，新人存在感几乎为零。

小公司机制灵活，能从头到尾亲自操作，了解整个外贸的运作过程。这种全方位的经验积累，对想创业的人来说至关重要。但也有人说，小公司体制不完善，客户资源有限，全靠自己摸索。

“无论什么背景，外贸行业只看重你的业绩。你能为公司赚多少钱，这才是他们关心的。”一位从业十年的外贸人这样说。

火车上，窗外风景不断变换。

那些关于职业选择的讨论，和窗外的风景一样，一直在流动。

———

我们从何处开始了解一座城市、一段旅程？

从火车车窗开始——从杭州的夜景，从山东河北的白昼，从进入北京站的那一瞬间。
从朋友的闲聊开始——从那些关于职业选择的困惑和心得，从那些“适合勤奋人”的行当。
从慢下来的节奏开始——从火车不急不慢的速度，从可以一直看着窗外发呆的时间。
