  If a passenger loses something, it is very common to broadcast to seek medical treatment and medicine, or find things to find items.

  [Explanation] Nowadays, in addition to the reminder of the train, the train broadcast is no longer the main information dissemination channel, and more is to provide "non-interference" travel broadcast service. There is no longer a special announcer post on the train, and the announcement of the train is recorded in advance and broadcast by the train attendant. Li Muxun, 27, has been a broadcaster since 2016. After April 2019, she recorded all the broadcast content on the high-speed train where Nanning Bureau Group Company was on duty.
