After a day's work, like many other young women, Liu enjoys light moments chatting with her colleagues while eating snacks at her dormitory in Shijiazhuang, Hebei province. Liu said she is proud to be a high-speed train attendant after going through a strict selection process. But she admitted that she has little time to spend with her family and hopes to reunite with them on the train she serves during the upcoming Spring Festival holiday.
