"Thank goodness I am OK, "said Tian Ruiyin, 39, who never expected an ordinary train journey to turn into a nightmare.
On July 23, it was just another trip from his hometown in East China's Shandong Province to his work place and current permanent residence in Fuzhou.
In the No. 15 coach of the express D301 train from Beijing to Fuzhou, Tian and his wife were talking about their reluctance (不情愿) to leave their parents behind, their two children playing cards.
There were about only two hours left before they were due to arrive at South Fuzhou Station.
