Before arriving at Shenzhen North, the train made a brief stop at Humen station. I tried to hang out the platform of Humen station only to find that I saw a caution "Don't get off at stations you are not destinated at".
The train seeed to pass through Qingsheng and Guangmingcheng.
Though the 1st class coach was quiet, a passenger sitting in the rear seat kicked or slapped on my seat. My girlfriend questioned me "Possibly, they are behaving like that because we are Japanese, which they hate?"
I said "No. I guess they are doing so just because their attitude is bad."
