Retired elderly people traveling across China, measuring the map of Xinjiang | Future transportation reply

Editor | Zhang Dong

In recent years, self-driving travel has moved from a niche circle to the forefront and become a popular lifestyle.

Wang Hailin, who is nearly 70 years old, obtained a driver's license at the age of 60. He took his wife on a self-driving tour of "living on the road". So far, he has driven nearly 200,000 kilometers on the territory of China, going to Hainan in winter, Chengdu in spring, Yunnan in autumn, Harbin in summer... He drove or rode a motorcycle with his wife all the way, from picking wild blueberries in the uninhabited area of ​​​​the Arctic Village to going deep into the primitive life of bartering among the indigenous people of Hainan.

Zihao, a bus fan, has measured the sparsely populated land of Xinjiang and touched every seat on Urumqi buses during his years of bus travel.

There are many more "Zihao" who, in unknown corners, record urban changes, transportation innovations and technological development from a niche but important perspective. At the same time, as map maintenance volunteers, they work with thousands of smart transportation participants to make future transportation come sooner.

At the age of 60, Wang Hailin plucked up the courage to take a driver's license test.

Long before he got married, he had been looking forward to the opportunity to travel all over the country. 40 years passed in a flash, with endless work and many children, until he retired, he had the opportunity to start the dream that had been hidden for most of his life.

After getting their driver's license, Wang Hailin and his wife started a self-driving tour in their children's unused Suzuki Swift.

As the travel range became larger and larger, the Suzuki Swift gradually could not keep up with the needs of the two people, so they later replaced it with a Dongfeng Fengxing T5.

Wang Hailin joked that their retirement life is like migratory birds, migrating with the seasons. They go to Hainan in winter, stay in Chengdu in spring and autumn, and return to Harbin in summer. Before they know it, they have traveled nearly 200,000 kilometers.

In this process, Wang Hailin gradually became a deep lover of self-driving. To what extent? China is vast, and its east-west and north-south span cannot resist Wang Hailin's stubbornness of never taking high-speed trains, trains, or planes, and his determination to insist on self-driving.

"For example, it takes us nearly half a month to drive from Hainan to Chengdu, which is more than 2,000 kilometers. We travel and have fun, and may travel dozens of kilometers a day. If we find it interesting, we stay a few more days to go fishing and sightseeing."

Wang Hailin believes that this kind of self-driving is similar to that of a knight: there is a destination and an unknown journey, and one meets people along the way and becomes friends.

Wang Hailin has joined many self-driving tour groups, where people from all over the world meet because of their love for traveling and become friends regardless of age.

There are often enthusiastic friends in the group who are eager to invite people. If they are interested in a place, they will check the geography and climate and set off if it is suitable.

He doesn't think that life should obey the social clock. In Wang Hailin's cognition, life is a field rather than a track. "Some people say, why do you mess around at such an old age? But I think the meaning of life is to mess around! My youth has ended, but my world has just begun."

As he continues to move forward, Wang Hailin gains new life on the road.

Once in Hainan, Wang Hailin rode a motorcycle to the mountains to play. It was late at night and the signal was not good. There were few pedestrians and vehicles in the mountains, and he could not find anyone to ask for directions.

Wang Hailin parked his motorcycle on the side of the road with a try-it attitude. Finally, a car came from a distance. He waved his hand and the car stopped about 30 or 40 meters away. The driver asked enthusiastically, "What's the matter?"

Wang Hailin was deeply moved by the simplicity of Hainanese people. He felt that this purest kind of interaction was extremely precious in today's society.

During those days in the mountains of Hainan, Wang Hailin lived a simple and happy life.

Wang Hailin is a fishing enthusiast and always carries a fishing rod with him whether he is driving or riding a motorcycle.

One of the wonders of Hainan is that wherever there is water, there are fish. Wang Hailin always returns with a full load, catching nearly 20 kilograms of fish in an hour, with each fish weighing half a kilogram.

At night, Wang Hailin parked his car at the home of an old man in the mountains. The locals provided tools and helped to light a fire. Wang Hailin used the fish to exchange for vegetables, fruits and cherry tomatoes, or simply gave them to the locals as a thank you.

Here, Wang Hailin seemed to have returned to the simplest life of bartering, but in his opinion, this was not a simple transaction, but more like sharing thoughts, joy and friendship.

Over the years, Wang Hailin's footprints have almost covered the map of China.

The southernmost point is Hainan and the northernmost point is Arctic Village.

The Arctic Village in Heilongjiang Province is a beautiful border town with the highest latitude in China. Facing Russia, it is known as the "North Pole of China".

To reach the Arctic Village, you need to cross the Greater Khingan Range and go through several hours of uninhabited areas. In some seasons, the uninhabited areas are filled with whistling mountain winds and tall white birch, larch and Scots pine trees.

That was the wildest, most desolate, and most peculiar road Wang Hailin had ever walked. What was it like?

There were no people on both sides of the road, but wherever you look, there are wild blueberries everywhere, with plump grains. Wang Hailin excitedly took a bucket to pick them, and picked a bucket in less than half an hour.

While picking, taking advantage of the vast and lonely background, they were in a good mood. The old wife put on beautiful clothes, Wang Hailin played the accordion, and the two of them sang and danced, talked and laughed. There was no audience, and they did not need an audience. Loneliness was others', and they had joy.

After being on the road for a long time, the car becomes a home.

In Wang Hailin's words, the daily necessities are more complete than at home, and the quality of life is even not inferior to that at home.

"All the tableware, pots, pans, and utensils are very complete. I brought three pots alone, including a frying pan, a pressure cooker, and a magnetic pressure cooker." Wang Hailin was a little proud.

The car contained a tea table, tea sets, green radish, an umbrella, a tent, an accordion, a table tennis ball and rackets, and a stainless steel thermos. Wang Hailin even brought a brush to clean the thermos.

There is also a saw, which comes in handy when setting up a tent in the wild. For example, when climbing a mountain, you can cut a small stick to use as a walking stick. In Wang Hailin's life, this saw is an all-purpose tool.

"We can saw anything within a foot in diameter, logs of more than 30 centimeters. Imagine how powerful this saw is." He added, "But we will never do anything that harms the ecology."

"We have everything on the roof. We have everything that we don't have at home." Wang Hailin couldn't stop talking about the equipment in the car. He was very excited. "Let me tell you, although the roof seems messy, all the space is used very reasonably."

Eating is not a problem at all. As for Wang Hailin and his wife, there are delicious food along the way.

When passing through Inner Mongolia, I bought lamb chops, lamb legs, hand-held meat, and pork elbows. I could make braised pork elbows or white-cut pork elbows...

"You can pound some garlic on the pork elbow, dip it in soy sauce, or blanch it, cut it into three or four pieces and put it in a pressure cooker for 15 minutes. Wow, that aroma..." Wang Hailin still feels unsatisfied when he recalls it. "And the pork belly. I am old and my teeth are not good enough to chew it. After putting it in a pressure cooker, it tastes especially good. It is indeed different from the mutton we have."

Sometimes when they pass by the market, they will buy some sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn, and cook them in a pressure cooker. When they stop to rest, they will have a snack while drinking tea. For example, they will buy meatballs and skewer them together for two people in the evening. Or, they will prepare soybeans, peanuts, lotus, millet, and rice and cook porridge together. Wang Hailin commented that the taste is "very good, better than the porridge bought outside". In addition, they always have luncheon meat and canned fish.

"I don't eat out much, I cook everything myself, and every meal is delicious."

They also don't miss out on recreational activities. They make full use of the table tennis tables in the community fitness area or square. If there is an indoor table tennis room, they play with people inside. If there is no indoor table tennis room, they bring their own table tennis balls and table tennis nets to entertain themselves.

"I'm quite good at table tennis." Wang Hailin couldn't hide his confidence.

Once they were returning to Harbin from Sichuan and passed by Qinling Mountains. They parked their car in the yard of Qinling Sports Bureau at night. During the time, they heard the sound of table tennis upstairs. After getting permission from the guard, they went upstairs with their table tennis rackets and played together. They had a lot of fun playing and chatting. After the game, the other party treated them to a midnight snack.

If they go out by car, they live in the car and fold down the seats at the back to make a bed. If they ride a motorcycle, they live in a tent. Wang Hailin enjoys the fun of using different tools.

There was a traffic jam. When it was almost time for dinner, I would cook some rice and steam some egg custard. After the meal , the traffic was smooth.

In short, in Wang Hailin's eyes, there were no difficulties in transportation, food, accommodation and entertainment along the way.

"Of course, you have to obey traffic rules. My wife doesn't know how to drive, and we only have one driver's license, which gives us 12 points, so we can't violate traffic rules."

Traveling together around the world, this kind of "fairy couple" relationship with my spouse was formed after retirement.

When we are young, we are bound to quarrel, but the older we get, the more we realize the importance of each other and how we can’t live without each other.

“We get younger and younger as we grow older, and we understand more and more as we grow older.”

For every travel plan, the two of them hit it off immediately and there was no question of who obeyed whom.

During the journey, they did not have a clear division of labor, but they formed a certain tacit understanding. Since his wife was in poor health, Wang Hailin was responsible for driving and was also the main person in charge of cooking.

When setting off, I check the roof and things around the car. If the car is parked for a few days, I will check whether there is any oil leakage under the car, whether the navigation is working properly, and whether the signal is strong. These are all my partner's responsibilities. Although there are occasional frictions, I often feel happy.

"I don't like what she cooks, but she likes what I cook. I have been the one taking care of her all her life. There is nothing I can do about it. It's a waste of time." Wang Hailin said with a smile, looking doting.

Wang Hailin believes that cooking is about who knows how to cook and who cooks well. Between husband and wife, regardless of gender, there should be no calculation on how much they contribute. Having each other in mind is the key.

They have two small vases on their bikes, where they pick wild flowers or branches and put them in the vase at any time. The fragrance of the flowers occasionally attracts bees and butterflies. They always have green baskets on their bikes, which they put on the tea sets when they drink tea. Even when they take a nap on the road, it is full of life. They always carry their spouses on the back of their motorcycles...

Wang Hailin does not think that the love between him and his wife is very romantic. There is no thrilling story in their lives. They are just an ordinary couple.

The green basket on the roof of the car is a frequently mentioned item in Wang Hailin's conversation. When he feels embarrassed, he picks some wild flowers from the wild and puts them in the green basket. When he drinks tea, he puts the green basket on the tea table. His wife can always feel this moment of subtle communication of friendship.

“Life is a grind.”

At the beginning, although the children were supportive, they were also worried.

In order to allay their concerns, Wang Hailin reported to the children every day in the early days. Later, both sides got used to it and reported only once every few days.

"Sometimes we are very tired after playing and just want to lie on the bed in the back seat of the car, because there is a big smart screen in the car where we can listen to the news, the radio, and watch movies. We are also very busy." Wang Hailin said seriously.

Prosperous China

In Wang Hailin's eyes, the premise of all current happiness comes from the stability and unity of the country, "the singing of birds and the dancing of swallows", a phrase he mentioned repeatedly.

In the 1970s, owning a car was unthinkable for a family.

The biggest feeling I have from self-driving tours over the years is that "China's road conditions are getting better day by day. With the construction of infrastructure and better road traffic, coupled with the continuous improvement in people's travel quality in recent years, it is especially reassuring to travel on the road."

Wang Hailin has always lamented that he has caught up with a good era. The country's strength has increased and society is stable. For this reason, he changed his online name to "Prosperous China".

He even said sincerely, "Although I am over 60 years old, if the country is in trouble and needs us old people, I will do my best to help.

Recently, Wang Hailin considered learning a musical instrument, and he decided to make Russia the first stop of his cross-border travel after the epidemic situation improves.

"If I play 'A Night Outside Moscow' on the saxophone, I can get closer to them. Music knows no borders." Wang Hailin is not afraid of not being able to speak the language in a foreign country. "There are local translators. As long as you have enough signal, I can help you."

Maybe one day, on a sleepless night, you will see a video of Wang Hailin. In the video, he is playing the saxophone, so intoxicated and so happy.

The earliest train station in Zihao’s memory is the South Railway Station.

At that time, Zihao lived next to the South Station and could see the tracks from the roof of the building. He woke up every day to the "whoosh" sound of the train and fell asleep to the "clang" sound of the connection between the wheels and the rails.

The curiosity and love for trains quietly took root in my heart.

When he was very young, he insisted on going to see the train, and his father agreed reluctantly. At that time, the railway had not yet been rerouted. There was a road outside the guardrail, and the railway was under the road, both of which were very close.

He will always remember the first time he felt a train whizzing past up close.

"So touching, so exciting," he murmured, saying that this was the only word he could use to describe the feeling, which was very comfortable.

When he grew up, he took the train to all the cities near Urumqi, including Turpan and Shihezi. Later, he turned to studying everything about railways, such as tickets, and later he started checking in at train stations.

313 Zoo Road

As his social circle expanded, Zihao made friends with bus fans and aviation fans.

Although there are many different categories, after going around in circles, he found that he still prefers buses - the means of transportation that is closely related to his life.

Zihao's first experience with public transportation was very profound: "I can only describe it in four words: 'neither fish nor fowl'."

At that time, privately contracted bus routes were popular in Urumqi. Zihao lived on Huanghe Road. A blue and white bus passed by his house. It was very crowded and the fare was one yuan per person.

There were short wooden stools on the bus that made creaking sounds, and there were noises from uncles, aunts, and children. The incompletely polished wooden stools sometimes turned into school uniform killers, and when he got home, he would find a hole in his school uniform.

The most impressive route is Route 313, which runs from South Park to Tianshan Wildlife Park. South Park is the earliest zoo in Urumqi, but it was moved to a very remote place because there were too many animals.

Zihao often went to that zoo when he was a child. He clearly remembers that there were only 10 stops on the entire route, but during the private period, a one-way trip took 1.5 hours to 2 hours.

Along the way, the bus will run parallel to the train for a long time, then pass over the railway bridge and go deeper into the mountains. When it reaches a fork in the road, turn right. After turning right, the road is bumpy for a while because of road construction.

Zihao sat on a stool, his butt barely touching the stool, and followed the car swaying left and right for about 20 minutes before arriving at the Tianshan Wildlife Park. Then he could hear the driver yelling, "Okay, we're at the zoo."

Bus to Zihao

With so many means of transportation, why is Zihao so obsessed with buses?

Maybe it's because it contains more unknowns.

The carrier of an airplane is the sky, and the carrier of a train is the rails. Both will confirm all conditions of the day's route before departure to ensure that the route is unobstructed before setting off.

But public transportation is different. In order to ensure the travel of urban residents, it needs to operate all the time. It is integrated into the ranks of vehicles and pedestrians, and more accidents may occur along the way.

Maybe it's the different feeling it brings.

From a spatial perspective, airplanes and trains are more like airdrops and teleportation due to their large spatial span, and the feelings during the journey are easily overlooked. However, taking public transportation will magnify many details of the journey.

It is like the red blood cells of the city, more universal, more lifelike, more down-to-earth and more detailed.

Maybe, it's just because it carries childhood memories.

The path in front of Zihao's house used to be a two-way two-lane road. At its peak, four or five buses would pass by. Zihao watched helplessly as his house went from being a place that could lead to many places to only one bus passing by, and he had to change buses to go out.

Zihao sometimes goes looking for old bus stops in the city. He always feels a sense of inexplicable loss for those disappeared stations.

Zihao still remembers taking the No. 1 bus in Beijing when he was a child.

There is a bell on the roof of the No. 1 bus. The driver uses a loud speaker to announce stops and maintain order. Every time the bus starts, the bell will ring, and the sound will be crisp as the bus passes by him.

Zihao believes that different routes have different temperaments and stories, especially for a historic city like Beijing.

Beijing trip - Dongzhimen hub station

Many years later, when he arrived in Beijing again, he was disappointed to find that two routes with cultural heritage had been cancelled.

In the past, he thought Urumqi was small, but after taking all the buses, he realized that Urumqi was actually very big. Behind each route, there is a unique story. People remember the most authentic details and appearance of the city like watching a movie or a documentary.

The moment I was completely struck by the bus was on a bus line called Route 22 in Urumqi, which the locals call the "zero-load bus line." ( Note: There is "less-load transportation" in logistics transportation, which means that the number of goods consigned in a batch is small and not enough to meet the cargo capacity of a vehicle, commonly known as less-load. )

There are bus fans who are older than Zihao and have always been paying attention to this route.

He told Zihao that there was only one driver running this route, and the driver had been driving on Route 22 for most of his life, and the bus was also copied from another route.

The train's final stop is Xishan Coal Mine, which used to be the most crowded station. Later, coal mining was no longer possible, and the workers left. The flow of people at the station dropped rapidly, and it went from being bustling to being deserted.

It had just rained a little that day, and there were only the driver and a few bus fans on the bus. There was no road repaired beyond the terminal, but the scenery was beautiful. There were rows of telephone poles connected to form a long arc that seemed to have no end.

A driver who has been with a route and a bus for most of his life, and a group of people who are particularly obsessed with public transportation, intersect because of a route and a certain degree of like-mindedness. They sit on the same bus and look at the same scenery. The scenery is beautiful, but with a sense of sadness. The bus has silently witnessed the prosperity and desolation of the city, and has also become a carrier of urban cultural changes.

In 2016, he came up with the idea of ​​shooting POV photos from buses, and he couldn’t stop doing it.

Most people may not have heard of it, what is POV?

Baidu Encyclopedia explains: Point Of View, a writing technique.

For example, it's like putting cameras on people, cars, or even cats and dogs to record the world from their perspective.

The content of public transportation POV is to shoot the whole process of vehicle driving. The audience can experience the traffic of major cities from the first-person perspective.

A mobile phone and a camera can become a "writing tool". You can choose any tool and perspective you like, such as buses, subways, private cars, and electric vehicles, to record the scenery of urban transportation and describe the current situation and development of urban transportation.

So far, POV video shooting has covered a large number of bus and subway lines, and even some railways.

"I want everyone to know that traveling in Xinjiang is not about riding horses or camels," he joked. Zihao is often asked, "Are there cars in Xinjiang?"

In their opinion, compared with the coastal areas, the inland areas are less developed. But the evaluation latitude of a city is not only about the economy, each region has its incomparable charm. He wanted to break the information gap and convey the beauty of Urumqi. This was Zihao's original intention of shooting POV.

His POV video is like a documentary showing the city of Urumqi. What he has seen is just the most ordinary scenery, and what he has experienced is just the most ordinary life, but in this ordinary life, through the POV method, the city space and time become long and eternal.

In addition to being a bus fan and bus POV recorder, Zihao is also a map data maintenance volunteer.

Encountering map maintenance

If there is one thing that gives Zihao a headache when taking the bus, it is the missing and incorrect information.

Take Xinjiang as an example. Many cities do not have official bus information. We have no idea how long a route is or how often it runs. We can only find out through the most primitive method, asking local people.

Even today when the Internet is so popular, there are still many places where bus information is not updated in a timely manner, and you may wait for a whole day and get nothing.

Another time, there was only one bus on a certain route, and the driver did not make it clear what time the bus would depart. As a result, the bus was gone while Zihao was going to the toilet.

Over time, Zihao had to rely on his brain to remember the route when he went out. However, Xinjiang is a huge region with long distances, and mistakes still brought Zihao a lot of inconvenience.

"Sometimes we joke that if you look at the bus stop you can't go home," said Zihao.

Many bus stops in Xinjiang cities have inaccurate or delayed information, and sometimes after they submit their opinions they find that they are still wrong.

In 2016, a friend called and asked if he wanted to maintain bus map data. The main work includes collecting map data, contacting the bus group responsible for the city, asking about recent route changes, making data adjustments, and providing users with real and accurate data.

Zihao readily agreed.

Zihao has successively maintained Amap, Baidu Maps and Tencent Maps.

Map data maintenance is divided into two types of operations, internal work and external procurement.

Internal work means that personnel are familiar enough with a certain site or line that they can modify the information online without going to the site.

External procurement means that when a new bus route is opened or a new stop is added, the bus group does not have the data, so personnel go to the site for investigation, save the GPS coordinates of the stop through collection software, and then edit and produce it in the backend.

The city’s transportation authorities sometimes provide non-standard or erroneous map instructions. For example, a route may be listed in a document as running in direction A, but the route actually runs in direction B.

Corresponding map providers sometimes produce data based on documents provided by traditional operating units. Zihao believes that maps are to serve passengers and the data must be true and accurate. Even if the documents have been made public, they will still conduct on-site surveys.

He has different experiences with different maps. Baidu's old platform had a slower launch cycle and was launched the next day after data collection and review. Later, he switched to Tencent Maps, which had faster feedback and was more convenient for both data maintenance volunteers and users.

There are many more Zihaos, like "Ant-Man" who measure the land, recording urban changes, traffic innovation and technological development from a niche but important perspective in unknown corners. At the same time, as a map maintenance volunteer, like tens of thousands of smart traffic participants, they constitute the star travelers who "make the world a little more accurate and a little more beautiful."

Wang Hailin is a Liuqi T5L owner and a user of Tencent Internet of Vehicles.

"Like opening and closing car windows, turning on and off the air conditioner, finding nearby gas stations and special snacks, and ordering songs. Please play Zhu Mingying's "Going Back to My Mother's Home." Tencent's voice interaction, entertainment on the large car screen, and navigation functions have added a lot of color to Wang Hailin's self-driving life.

Before Wang Hailin, we didn’t know anyone who actually lived the retirement life of their dreams.

Before Zihao, we didn’t know that there was such a group of people obsessed with traffic to such an extent, and we never thought about who actually contributed the site information. There was such a group of people working hard behind the scenes.

But what is the same is their expectations for future transportation.

The reason why Wang Hailin can travel smoothly across the country for more than 7,000 kilometers is inseparable from China's economic development and infrastructure construction, and also inseparable from the progress of technology suitable for the elderly.

Wang Hailin hopes that autonomous driving will come soon, and that smart cars can take care of all the itineraries during the entire journey like a butler. He even hopes that the next time he changes his car, he can change it to a smart car.

Zihao once hoped that public transportation could be more accurate and intelligent. The winter wind in Xinjiang is extremely cold, and people can check public transportation information in real time, so they don't have to wait for the bus in the cold.

Today, Zihao's short-term wish has come true. Urumqi City implemented smart transportation in 2017, and bus stops, arrival time, arrival location, first and last bus departure times, etc. can be checked at any time.

In the long run, he also hopes that autonomous driving will come sooner. If there is a family behind a car, there may be a hundred families behind a bus. Buses are large and long, and carry many people. It is not an exaggeration to describe the drivers as "keeping an eye on all directions and listening to all directions". Drivers work very hard and have heavy responsibilities.

Autonomous driving can free drivers from high-intensity labor and make traffic in the entire city more orderly and safer.

They are ordinary people, a microcosm of millions of ordinary people, with the simplest wishes.

Tencent Smart Travel and Tencent Smart Transportation produced a video about future transportation based on the story of user Wang Hailin.

In the near future, what might smart travel/transportation look like in the next 3-5 years?

We can boldly imagine that perhaps, in the future, all forms of transportation that are closely related to us: urban transportation, highways, subways, ports, logistics, rail transit, and networking will appear in another way.

As Wang Hailin said, a car is not just a tool, it becomes another "home".

New value will be injected into the car. Users may be able to bring their favorite Internet services into the car, and all entertainment products on mobile phones can be used in the car.

Cars can have recognition and perception capabilities such as voice, image, and natural language understanding. People, cars, and roads can be deeply perceived. User needs can be proactively discovered and corresponding services can be pushed. We can feel the "thousands of faces for each person."

Whether it is a personal ID, social tools such as WeChat, or payment scenarios, full-time interconnection across scenarios and terminals can be achieved, and the digital experience in the front, middle, and back of the car can be opened up.

Perhaps, we can enter an in-car metaverse where people and cars drive together. Ordinary maps, ADAS maps, and high-precision maps are integrated to provide a unified map service. Three-dimensional real-life maps reproduce the real world, allowing navigation instructions to fit the actual road as accurately and realistically as "native".

On the highway, with full perception, strong computing, accurate decision-making, and ubiquitous access technologies, we can enjoy a new model of smart highways with all-weather access, full-process digital control, and all-round services.

Smart logistics, based on wireless Internet of Things, LBS, big data, security management, AI and other technologies, we can experience the most convenient and fast logistics services.

Autonomous driving will eventually arrive, and high-precision maps, digital twins, and autonomous driving cloud services will make great progress. The high-precision map collection and data production of expressways and highways in key cities across the country, the development of key application technologies on the vehicle side, and the deployment of closed-loop cloud services can all be realized one by one.

In the above life, there are companies like Tencent that build these capabilities. You may not understand how advanced the technology is or how the transportation is achieved, but what is certain is that life is easier and transportation is safer and smoother. And for you, as an ordinary person, knowing these is enough.

In such a life, technology will not forget the core of people-oriented, and Wang Hailin will no longer be the kind of people abandoned by the times. We will see more Wang Hailin, and even we can become "Wang Hailin".

The future of transportation hopes to give everyone the right to travel freely, regardless of age, time and space restrictions, giving everyone maximum freedom in space and time, so that they can set off immediately and arrive happily.
