Let the cultural relics on the Shanghai Hangzhou Railway "live"

"As the use and management unit of the turret, we will do a good job of repair and management in accordance with the repair plan of the cultural security design unit." Guo Zhanqiang, deputy secretary of the Party committee and Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Shanghai Railway Works section, made a commitment on the repair and management of the turret when the prosecutors came to the former site of the Japanese army's artillery tower in Jiashan County old railway station in Jiaxing for on-site office.

this year, Hangzhou railway transportation Procuratorate, together with Jiashan County People's Procuratorate, launched a special public interest litigation activity of "Railway Cultural Relics Protection". Recently, it conducted a field investigation and survey on the existing cultural relics protection units along the Shanghai Hangzhou Railway (within the scope of Jiashan) such as Japanese army turrets and blockhouses.

"the turrets, blockhouses and barracks built by the Japanese aggressors along the Shanghai Hangzhou railway are important historical evidences. We are responsible for Yiwu to coordinate and urge the administrative departments to protect these immovable physical evidences." Yang jingxun, director of the second procuratorial department of Hangzhou railway transportation Procuratorate, said that the cultural resources carried by cultural relics are social public resources, and the resulting spiritual interests belong to all members of society. If they are not well managed and protected, they will directly damage the social public interests. It is understood that the Zhejiang section of Shanghai Hangzhou railway was completed and opened to traffic in 1909. In 1937, the Japanese launched an all-round war of aggression against China, and the Shanghai Hangzhou railway was also controlled by the Japanese as a strategic resource. Along the railway, a large number of defensive fortifications, such as turrets, blockhouses and barracks, were built to control the railway transportation.

the former site of the turret in Jiashan old railway station was built when the Japanese invaded Jiashan. In June 2010, the people's Government of Jiashan County announced the turret as a cultural relic protection unit, and in November 2013, it officially delimited the protection scope and construction control zone.

"however, this turret is in disrepair and has been severely weathered and corroded." Zhongqin, director of the fifth procuratorial department of Jiashan County People's Procuratorate, said that during the field investigation, the procuratorial organ found that many parts of the beams and walls in the turret cracked and fell off, and the windows were seriously damaged. A bicycle parking shed was built outside the turret in violation of regulations. There is no fence outside to protect it. Some structures are directly connected with the road. The whole turret is not equipped with fire-fighting facilities, so there is a fire safety risk.

according to relevant laws and regulations, Hangzhou railway transportation procuratorate and Jiashan County People's Procuratorate jointly sent pre litigation procuratorial suggestions to the local cultural protection department on November 27, suggesting that the unit should fully perform its duty of cultural relics protection according to law, implement relevant cultural relics protection measures, and urge the use unit of the turret, Shanghai Public Works section, to repair cultural relics Repair.

after receiving the procuratorial suggestions, the local cultural protection department organized the staff to carry out the field survey, and communicated with the railway department on the cultural relics protection there. "On the premise of not affecting the safety of cultural relics units, the use or management units can be reasonably utilized." Wang Jiachen, director of Jiashan County Cultural Relics Protection Institute, told reporters that if conditions permit, the cultural protection department will cooperate with the railway department to transform the turret into a patriotism education base to make cultural relics "live".

"in fact, there are many such historical" marks "on the Shanghai Hangzhou railway line that need to be repaired and protected." Yang jingxun said that up to now, in addition to the turret of Jiashan old railway station, eight old sites of cultural relics were found along the Shanghai Hangzhou Railway (within Jiaxing) that needed to be repaired and managed.

the former site of the Japanese Fort building in Xucun, Haining, Jiaxing is a cultural relic protection unit of Haining City. "We found a lot of Japanese newspapers in the beam of the turret," Yang said. However, due to too long time, it has been damaged and corroded in a large area, which also needs to be protected. "

"our ancestors and fathers still know about these turrets, but when they come to our generation, they don't know much about them. Some of the turrets that the old people used to say can't be found now... " Jiaxing a local railway staff said.

"Shanghai Hangzhou railway is of special significance to the Yangtze River Delta. It built a bridge between Zhejiang and Shanghai more than 100 years ago. Now in the context of the integration of the Yangtze River Delta, we hope to "make a voice" for the cultural relic evidence on this cross regional railway line. " Zhongqin said that the cooperation with the railway procuratorial organ to carry out the special public interest litigation activities for the protection of railway cultural relics is a useful attempt for the procuratorial organ to carry out the public interest litigation "etc." as the representative of the public interest, the procuratorial organ will cooperate with the local cultural protection department and the railway department to do a good job in the protection of cultural relics along the Shanghai Hangzhou railway.
