Slow, shabby trains used to be jam-packed. "It took half an hour for people to jostle through the crowds to the bathroom a dozen steps away," Wang recalls. His albums have scenes of people clambering into packed carriages through windows.

These scenes were most common during the Chinese New Year holiday rush, often described as the biggest human migration on the planet.
