Kim Jong Un Departs Beijing on Special Train, Exclusive Video Triggers Online Celebration
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un concluded a two‑day visit to China on the evening of September 4, 2025, and departed Beijing aboard a specially outfitted train. The exit, captured in an exclusive video that quickly circulated on Chinese social media, has become a flashpoint of both factual reporting and light‑hearted celebration among netizens.

The footage shows Kim, flanked by a cadre of aides, waving a prolonged farewell to onlookers as his black Maybach is hoisted onto the train’s custom platform. The image, broadcast by CCTV International and picked up by outlets such as Dagong Wen Hui Po, offers a rare glimpse of the leader’s departure ritual, which is usually shrouded in diplomatic discretion. Within hours, the clip sparked a wave of posts on Weibo, the platform’s hashtags #金正恩乘专列离京独家视频# and #金正恩离京时长时间挥手作别# amassing millions of views.
Reactions on the micro‑blogging site ranged from neutral recaps to upbeat commentary. Some users simply recorded the facts: “朝鲜劳动党总书记、国务委员长金正恩结束对中国的访问日程,9月 4日晚乘专列离开北京” (“General Secretary of the Workers’ Party of Korea and Chairman of the State Affairs Commission Kim Jong Un concluded his visit to China and departed Beijing by special train on the evening of September 4”). Others injected a more celebratory tone, with remarks such as “情绪价值拉满了~” (“Emotional value is maxed out”) and “欢送地表最强80后,期待下次再来” (“Bidding farewell to the strongest person born in the 80s, looking forward to his next visit”).

The sentiment analysis suggests there is little overt criticism of the leader’s departure. Instead, the discourse reflects a mixture of curiosity about the logistics of the high‑profile journey and a mildly jocular admiration of the spectacle. The emphasis on thespecial train” — a hallmark of Kim’s foreign trips that blends personal security with symbolic showmanship — appears to be the focal point for many commenters, who noted the rarity of visual evidence showing the Maybach’s loading process.
The event underscores the diplomatic choreography between Pyongyang and Beijing. While Chinese officials have not issued a detailed statement about the visit’s outcomes, the smooth arrangement of the train’s departure, coordinated by Chinese authorities, signals a continued willingness to host the North Korean leader. For observers, the exclusive video provides a tangible marker of the visit’s climax, offering a rare window into the protocols that typically remain behind closed doors.
As the clip continues to circulate, users are already speculating about future engagements, with some expressing hope for another Korean leader’s appearance in the Chinese capital. Whether this farewell will translate into concrete policy shifts remains to be seen, but the public’s response — part reportage, part light‑hearted fanfare — illustrates how a single visual moment can capture the imagination of a nation and keep the spotlight on the intricate ties between two neighboring regimes.
