A man accompanied his girlfriend to the train station at Nanchong, Jiangxi province, so he could see her off ahead of her trip to Beijing.

He helped her put her luggage on board, and the two said their passionate goodbyes on the platform.

The couple became so engrossed in their farewell kiss that they did not notice that the whistle had blown and the train was pulling out of the station. Only after the train had departed did the girl notice she had missed it.

Workers at the station contacted the conductor, who promised to hold on to her luggage. She caught another train leaving for Beijing two hours later.
