Beijing Zhangjiakou high speed railway, a railway dream lasting for a hundred years

Xi Jinping, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee and President of the people's Republic of China, gave important instructions for the opening of the Beijing Zhangjiakou high-speed railway on December 30, Xinhua reported. He pointed out that in 1909, the Beijing Zhangjiakou Railway was completed; in 2019, the Beijing Zhangjiakou high-speed railway was connected. From the breakthrough of independent design and construction to the most advanced level in the world, from 35km / h to 350km / h, Beijing Zhangjiakou Railway witnessed the development of China's railway and the leap of China's comprehensive national strength. Looking back on the history of one hundred years, we can see the significance of Beijing Zhangjiakou high speed railway. A 6031 a 6031 one hundred and ten years ago, the Chinese nation suffered from internal and external troubles. On the one hand, the Boxer Movement failed and the national strength was weak. On the other hand, the imperialists all wanted to seize the fire. The national crisis was increasingly serious. The Chinese people demanded to protect the right of way and build their own railways. The Qing government had to make a decision: to build the first important railway, Beijing Zhangjiakou Railway. Zhan Tianyou was appointed as the chief engineer of the Beijing Zhangjiakou Road Association Office (later promoted to the general office). As soon as the news came out, the imperialists immediately said wryly, "the Chinese engineer who can build the railway through the Guangou section is not yet born!" Attacking Zhan Tianyou as the chief engineer of Beijing Zhangjiakou Railway is "arrogant" and "self defeating". However, he was not afraid of difficulties. He worked on drawings all night when his technology was backward. When the mountain road was rough, he used the method of drilling wells in the middle. He took the lead to catch up with the work. When the locomotive power was insufficient, he designed the "herringbone" line to offset the slope. Finally, in the hope of the whole nation and in the cold eyes of imperialism, the Beijing Zhangjiakou Railway was completed and opened in 1909, becoming the first independently designed and built railway in Chinese history. A 6031 a 6031 one hundred and ten years later, the Beijing Zhangjiakou high speed railway was officially put into operation. Beijing Zhangjiakou high speed railway is an important part of Beijing Lanzhou channel in the "eight vertical and eight horizontal" of the national "medium and long term railway network plan", and also an important supporting infrastructure project for the Beijing Winter Olympic Games. The construction started in December 2015. Beijing Zhangjiakou high speed railway is independently designed and constructed by China. It is the world's most advanced intelligent high-speed railway with a speed of 350 kilometers per hour. After opening, the main venue of the Winter Olympic Games from Beijing to the prince city of Zhangjiakou can be accessible within one hour; connecting with the high-speed railway from Zhangjiakou to Hohhot and from Zhangjiakou to Datong, Beijing to Hohhot can be accessible within two hours and 20 minutes, and Beijing to Datong can be accessible within one hour and 40 minutes. A 6031 a 6031 throughout the development history of Beijing Zhangjiakou Railway, just like the epitome of the modern development history of China, it has witnessed the great changes of this country in the past 110 years. From the beginning, it has not been regarded as the most advanced intelligent high-speed railway in the world, which is the result of how many people's sweat pouring, how many people stick to the success day and night, and how many people's soul The railway dream haunted by dreams, which has passed through 110 years, is very long and carries the hopes of generations. It is also very short, which is just a moment in the long history. From obscurity to clarity, from ideal to reality, from backwardness to transcendence, it's a dream. Let's take dreams as horses, live up to our youth, and continue to work hard. It's more than just a dream. We should face up to history, not forget our previous shame, and move forward with a heavy load to realize the dream of the rise of China! (Wen / Huang Tianyi)
