On May 5th, just as a high-speed train departed from Shanxi's Jincheng Station, northern China, two female passengers engaged in a dispute over the train's sunshade curtains.

In a video capturing the incident, one seated woman repeatedly opened the curtain, while another standing passenger immediately closed it. This back-and-forth lasted for a duration of 40 minutes.

The actions of the two passengers drew disapproval from other passengers in the carriage. Some attempted to mediate the situation, urging the women to calm down and communicate effectively. However, their efforts only seemed to exacerbate the situation.

Upon the arrival of train staff, a compromise was proposed to partially open two-thirds of the curtains in hopes of resolving the dispute. Yet, neither of the two passengers were willing to compromise. Concerned about the disturbance to other passengers, the train staff escorted the women to the office of the train manager, where they finally managed to calm down.

Through the patient mediation of the train staff, the two passengers eventually reconciled. They apologized to each other and shook hands.

In response to the incident, the railway customer service hotline, 12306, stated that there are currently no specific operating regulations for sunshade curtains on high-speed trains. Passengers are encouraged to negotiate and handle such situations based on principles of mutual understanding and respect.
