"Cairo Station" (Cairo Station) in 1958 was one of Shain's early classics, but it was ahead of the times and was banned for 12 years because of its description of sexual and social problems. It was later resurfaced and was widely regarded as one of the most important Arab films. Xiayin directed and acted as a little Cairo man who sold newspaper hygiene. In his spare time, he likes to cut out photos of beautiful women on impurities and paste them all over his station cabin, and falls in love with the hot thing who buys lemonade nearby. But the form of the popular drama ends with the anti-popular drama in which the little man dies unexpectedly, and the sacrosanct hot thing in his eyes is just another man's property. Cairo Station was rated as the first to introduce neo-realism into the Egyptian film world full of song and dance films. The director's attention and criticism of Egypt's gender politics and poor traditions have been revealed in this film.
