Gui Daò - Sur la voie - Une gare sur le Yangzi

This documentary reveals something of the Chinese temperament through a visit to a seemingly ordinary railway station. Then we start to wonder. What does the “moving red flag” mean? Who are these Orientals, so patient in waiting, so concerned with order and the public good? Astonishment is followed by sympathy for the spontaneity and humor of these Chinese who, like us, share the same hopes and concerns.
