On Beng A Good Traveller’s Contemplative Railway Journey
A fragmented memoir recounts a traveler’s train experiences from Shanghai to Tientsin, noting cross cultural encounters and lessons in tolerance. The narrator recalls a Chinese train with a central corridor, an old man with a grape store and his dentures, and a ride described with wary humor. She reflects on portable gear, discipline, and the aim to enjoy place over guidebook precision, while observing fellow travelers’ habits and the risks of temper. The piece mentions tea ships, white sands, and a late railway glimpse of a French maid and a muted, worn carriage scene.
