Two rural train depot guards finding purpose. Filling a need. Fading columns, peeling paint. Strange resemblance to plantations in the southern US; however is the concept much different? Oversized uniforms hang on undervalued members of humanity who are used for all their worth. This rural train depot exists during a time period in which we?ve divided ourselves into separate sub-species; rural and urban. Regulations, signs, and other memorabilia at the station entrance fill the needs of a well polished system. This stop is far removed from the world of plasma displays and high speed travel. Is the luxury accompanying first class travel in urban developed cities promoting inflation, longer work weeks, and oversized dress codes with poor building maintenance within rural communities? Has the income gap widened due to farmers, or those within capital cities which have built profit out of their harvests? Amongst ox drawn carts and oversized uniforms, it?s difficult to find machinery such as the newest imported Japanese cross-over SUVs or German luxury sedans like those which cruise amongst ultra modern architecture blanketing the capital city of Nanning. Planned obsolescence awaits consumers within the capital city of Nanning. Perceived obsolescence is nowhere to be found inside or out of the rural train stations lobby. Within the lobby are peasants who?ve borne the weight created from addictive franchises and companies who externalize the cost of production. Markets tremble. Inflation rises. Globalization expands, and humanity pays. While 80% of China lives in rural areas, they are definitely not the percent which shops at Wal-Mart, which Nanning has two of. However, the lap of luxury originates from their hard work, daily sacrifice, and long-lasting durability which exist within the framework of the depot itself. Commuters who pass through her doors; their journey made, and how they make it, paves the roads for those who may never even stop to visit.
