A week ago. I did have a pop-up, but that basically just said, that "they" knew I was outside of Beijing and in quarantine.

Food was good...well, BIG CAVEAT: "Food was good because I just came out of quarantine and it was Business Class!"
Suitcases: super easy. Although they did have more security than I am used to for the train specifically going to Beijing....they opened BOTH suitcases right there on the floor. Still managed to board the train within 25 minutes of changing the ticket to this much earlier one. You just walk onto the train with the suitcases and leave them in the spacious Bus Class cabin.
