60 million people have been in Chengdu and Xi'an for two years!

Two years ago today (December 6), xi'an-chengdu high speed railway officially opened. As China's first high-speed railway crossing Qinling Mountains, it shortens the railway travel time from Chengdu to Xi'an from the original 15 hours to about 3 hours; as one of the main channels of China's "eight vertical and eight horizontal" high-speed railway, it also greatly shortens the space-time distance between Sichuan and Chongqing to Beijing and Shanghai. In the past two years since the

was put into operation, the number of xi'an-chengdu high-speed rail trains operated by Chengdu Railway Bureau Group Co., Ltd. has increased from 4 pairs a day at the earliest to 46.5 pairs now, with more than 59.82 million passengers safely transported in the management.

"it's much more convenient to go home after the high-speed railway is opened." To Liu Sanjie, the xi'an-chengdu high-speed railway bears her strong local feeling. At the end of 2014, Liu Sanjie's family came to Chengdu from Xi'an and opened a Shaanxi noodle shop. In fact, long before that, she often visited her brother in Chengdu. A 6031 a 6031 in the summer vacation of 1999, 25-year-old Liu Sanjie took her daughter and nephew to Chengdu in a hard seat, which she has never forgotten. "The car was full of people, lying in the aisle and under the seats." What she can't stand most is that there is no drinking water on the train. Two five or six-year-old dolls want to drink water. She can only pass the cup out of the window when the train stops and let the people on the platform answer, "there is a station where people haven't handed it back, the train will open and my cup will be gone."

"at that time, we thought, how can my brother go to work so far away? It's too far away from home." In the first three years of fighting in Chengdu, Liu Sanjie can only go home during the Spring Festival every year. She has to take a 15 hour train ride for a whole night and half a day. Even sleeping is not very comfortable. On December 6, 2017, after the opening of xi'an-chengdu high-speed railway, the frequency of her return to her hometown increased significantly. "What's the matter at home? You can go back by taking the high-speed railway for three hours, and you can go back and forth in two days on weekends." In the past two years, she has been able to go home two or three times a year. A 6031 a 6031 arrived at the Spring Festival, but Liu Sanjie was not in a hurry to grab the ticket. She was going to see the ticket half a month later. "Now there are more cars, so it's better to buy the ticket." According to the statistics of

, the number of xi'an-chengdu high-speed railway trains operated by Chengdu Railway Bureau Group Co., Ltd. has increased from 4 pairs a day at the earliest to 46.5 pairs now, with more than 59.82 million passengers safely transported in the management.
