The Disappearing Train Stations is a photographic project that explores the intersection of tradition and modernity through the lens of urban transformation. This body of work delves into the profound impacts of rapid economic development on both physical spaces and the lives of marginalized communities. The project is divided into four interconnected series, each focusing on a different aspect of this transformation: the fading presence of an old train station, the laborers who work in its shadow, the stark contrast between outdated and contemporary urban landscapes, and the pervasive influence of technology on our lives. Together, these images offer a poignant reflection on the costs of modernization, highlighting the tension between progress and the loss of cultural and human diversity. Through this exploration, the project invites viewers to reconsider the narratives of progress and the unseen lives that are shaped by it.

I tried to find some signs of life about the train station and the internal relationship between objects through a special identity. He is a train driver with twenty-six-year working experience who lives a regular life. Through talking with him, I got to know more about the story of the station. 

At his home, I saw plants on the window-sill in twilights; the wife entering room from the balcony with dried clothes; the child studying finance and he watching TV quietly in the living room. Also, they kept typical features of Chinese southerners--- making tea and hospitality.

He appeared calm concerning the disappearance of the station and was confident about the future. It seemed like that he was ready for the change. Chinese believe that a peaceful family would prosper.  Family, health and career are attached with great importance but they are unpredictable. He showed me the faith and hope that one has in life when he faces changes.
