A fleet of trains from China has arrived in Belarus, making a tangible connection with the pulse of Europe. These vibrant and multicolored "iron boxes" from the East are poised to undergo an extraordinary journey across continents. What lies ahead for them on this remarkable cross-border voyage?
They will traverse mountains and valleys on the tracks, transitioning from the broad-gauge railways of Central Asia to the standard-gauge rails of Europe. The China-Europe Railway Express passes through nations like Kazakhstan and Belarus, linking Belarusian railways with the Polish railways through the Brest Terminal in Belarus. At this gauge-changing junction, trains are shunted from broad-gauge railways to standard-gauge ones, facilitating seamless transport across Europe and fostering a multitude of commercial opportunities.

These iron boxes will also climb onto the backs of trucks and ships, embracing multimodal transport on their way to the rest of the world. The containers disembarking in Belarus might continue their journey using various transportation modes, such as railways, highways, and maritime routes, reaching all corners of the world in diverse approaches.
Moreover, they may be tagged with digital codes, embarking on a digitized international expedition. To enhance international cargo transportation and logistics, Belarus has been promoting paperless office technologies since 2021. Additionally, the containers might be equipped with "electronic guardians", allowing their movements to be precisely tracked within digital systems.
Our special correspondent team from the Yangcheng Evening News had an exclusive interview with Chislatkovich Andrei, the General Manager of Belarusian Railway International Transport, a Belarusian State-owned company, and Alexander, the First Deputy Director of Beltamozhservice, a Belarusian State-owned logistics enterprise.
Having visited China multiple times, Andrei never fails to praise the nation. As for Alexander, his interview room is adorned with the company slogan in Chinese characters. For them, the arrival of this Chinese train signifies opportunities and hope from the moment it crosses into the Belarusian border.
For these Oriental "iron boxes", their incredible journey here signifies an adventure, just as much as it does for the Belarusian logistics professionals.

来自中国的列车抵达白俄罗斯，触碰着欧洲的脉搏。这些来自东方的五彩“铁盒子”，会在这里经历什么样的穿越之旅？
——它们将在铁轨上穿山越野，换轨前行穿越亚欧大陆。中欧班列境外段主要经哈萨克斯坦、白俄罗斯等宽轨铁路，在白俄罗斯布列斯特铁路口岸与波兰铁路相连，从宽轨铁路换回原来的准轨铁路，进而通达欧洲各国，传递商机。
——它们还将爬上货车、轮船的脊背，体验多式联运走向世界。抵达白俄罗斯的集装箱，可能通过铁路、公路、海路等运输方式，送往世界各地，以更加丰富多元的方式完成这场国际之旅。
——它们还可能与数字代码作伴，度过一场数字化的国际旅程。为了更便于发展国际货物运输等物流业务，2021年至今，在白俄罗斯境内已经引进并广泛推广了无纸化办公技术。除此之外，在这里，集装箱可能会拥有“电子监护器”，所有行踪在数字化系统中都一清二楚。
羊城晚报特派白俄罗斯采访团队专访了白俄罗斯的国营企业白俄罗斯国际运输公司总经理奇斯拉特克维奇·安德烈以及白俄罗斯国营物流企业Beltamozhservice第一副总亚历山大。
安德烈已经不止一次来过中国，提起中国总是赞不绝口。而亚历山大接受采访的房间中，就有赫然用中文写着的企业标语。在他们看来，来自中国的这列火车，从驶入白俄罗斯的国境开始，就代表着机遇和希望。
这些东方“铁盒子”在这里度过的奇妙之旅，而这，也同样是白俄罗斯物流人们的机遇之旅。
