In the early 1980s, People's Daily first put forward the term "Spring Festival travel rush fever" to describe the phenomenon of intensive population movement during Spring Festival travel rush. The "Spring Festival travel rush fever" really became the annual drama of China people, and the rising number of people tested the carrying capacity of China railway.
At the beginning of the founding of New China, the national railway was only 2 1.8 million kilometers, half of which was paralyzed, and only 1. 1.0 million kilometers could be kept open to traffic. The average speed of passenger trains in China Railway is only 43 kilometers per hour.
In 20 17, the national railway mileage exceeded120,000 km, and the total mileage of high-speed railway alone reached 22,000 km, forming a national rapid passenger transport network with "four verticals and four horizontals" as the skeleton.
In the last five years, the state has invested an average of more than 740 billion yuan a year, which is the period when the new line was put into production the most in the history of China's railway construction.
In 20 17, China railway builders traveled all over lanzhou-chongqing railway, Baolan high-speed railway and Xicheng high-speed railway in nine years. Under the background of the western development and the "Belt and Road" construction, the strategic significance of this triangle economic circle in the western region is extraordinary. Lanzhou-chongqing railway, which connects the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, is an important "bridge" between the Lan Xin Economic Belt and the Sichuan-Chongqing Economic Belt, and also an important traffic artery along the Belt and Road. At the same time, one of the three north-south railway arteries juxtaposed with the Beijing-Guangzhou line and the Beijing-Shanghai line has become an important channel between the western region and the Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta regions.
However, the construction of lanzhou-chongqing railway is not smooth sailing. From Lanzhou to Chongqing, it is 850 kilometers, which not only crosses the Qinling Mountains at an altitude of 3,000 meters, but also has complicated geological conditions along the way, making it the highest in the history of railway construction in China. Without sufficient technical strength, this railway can only stay in imagination.
The second hole of Humaling Tunnel is regarded as "the gate of hell". Lanzhou-chongqing railway, 850 kilometers long, is stuck here. It takes eight years to dig a tunnel less than 14 km. In the most difficult period, only half a meter can be dug every day.
Colleague Li Xia, a tunnel engineer, is dealing with the mud flowing back. Two meters thick mud gushed suddenly, and the progress of the week returned to the original point. Tunnel construction is neither soft nor hard. In Humaling Mountain, sand is finer than rice flour, and its water content is as high as 28%. Therefore, tunnel construction is like drilling a hole in the "tofu brain", which is not only difficult, but also easy to gush water and sand.
It is extremely difficult to repair tunnel sediments, and even German tunnel experts who came here with top equipment and construction team a year ago are at a loss. In front of the tunnel, cement and sodium silicate aqueous solution are injected by grouting machine according to a certain proportion. Both of them will solidify quickly in 10 second, and reinforce the tunnel. This is China technology explored by nearly 30 engineers and tens of thousands of workers.
Li Xia: There is no unbreakable mountain, and there is no impassable river. If you finish this tunnel, tell me yourself. I, Li Xia, work in Humaling, which is the honor of my life.
2065438+On September 29th, 2007, lanzhou-chongqing railway was opened to traffic. From Lanzhou to Chongqing, it used to take 22 hours by road, but now it only takes 6 hours, which makes the trip home in Spring Festival travel rush peak no longer far away. This 850-kilometer mileage has achieved a great leap in railway history and created another miracle in railway construction.
The road has already opened, and it is dawn. Lanzhou-chongqing railway opened its arms to the world only half a year after it was opened to traffic. 20 18 65438+ 10/8, the first ice and snow tourism festival in Guan 'egou was held grandly, attracting thousands of guests from all directions, and the huge ice waterfall spectacle showed its amazing charm to the world. Guan 'egou National Forest Park, located in Tanchang County, Longnan City, Gansu Province, is a 4A-level scenic spot. The lakes here are like strings of shining pearls and waterfalls, shining with silver light, and the ecological environment is extremely beautiful.
Liu Huahua is a villager in Luren Village, Guan 'egou, and a well-known poor household in the village. After her husband died, Huahua raised two young children alone, and also supported her parents-in-law. The life of this family is extremely difficult. In desperation, Huahua started the farmhouse business, but the traffic environment in the scenic spot was poor before, and it was very difficult to maintain the business.
Liu Huahua, son of Chen: Even this is basically ignored. My grandparents dug up some Chinese herbal medicines in the mountains and sold them.
Liu Huahua's son Chen has to go out to work. Every year, when Spring Festival travel rush comes home at the peak, the car has to climb over two mountains. So far, the sinister road has left him with a lingering fear. The opening of lanzhou-chongqing railway 20 17 brought good news to Guan 'egou. It used to take more than 10 hours from Lanzhou to Tanchang County by train, but now it only takes more than three hours, and the number of tourists visiting Guan 'egou immediately exploded.
As the Spring Festival approaches, it was originally the off-season of Guan 'egou tourism, but this year, with the help of lanzhou-chongqing railway's "East Wind", the Dangchang county government made every effort to build the Guan 'egou Ice and Snow Tourism Festival project, with the goal of realizing four-season tourism. On the eve of the Spring Festival on 20 18, Liu Huahua's family was very busy.
Liu Huahua's mother and son also borrowed money to build a new three-story building as a farmhouse inn, and made up their minds to expand the reception scale of the farmhouse.
Han, head of Guan 'egou Tourism Service Farmers' Professional Cooperative in Tanchang County, Gansu Province: Our plan is to lift all 20 poor households out of poverty and bring them into the tourism industry within two or three years.
Lanzhou-chongqing railway passes through 13 national poverty alleviation counties and 4 provincial poverty alleviation counties, and passes through many old revolutionary areas, poor mountainous areas and ethnic minority areas. With the opening of lanzhou-chongqing railway, tourism has become a powerful engine of economic development in poverty-stricken areas along the route. The pace of people getting rid of poverty and getting rich is also accelerating.
Wang Fuquan, Director of Guan 'egou Scenic Area Management Committee in Tanchang County, Gansu Province: After the opening of lanzhou-chongqing railway, the number of our tourists has increased from 6,543,800+200,000 to more than 2 million. There are more than 30,000 people directly engaged in tourism in Tanchang County, and there are more than 5,000 poor households engaged in tourism. Last year, our tourism poverty reached 2 1%.
Near the Spring Festival, Jia Yongxiang, a villager from Jinping Village, Waina Town, Longnan City, Gansu Province, is not idle. He and his wife kept fertilizing, pruning and loosening the soil on the olive tree. Since last year, Jia Yongxiang has improved the varieties of olive trees.
Jia Yongxiang, Jinping Village, Waina Town, Wudu District, Longnan City, Gansu Province: This is a new variety with high oil yield. If 10 kg, at least 20 kg, more than double.
Jia Yongxiang is a poor household in Jinping Village. In 2008, Jia Yongxiang began to transfer land to grow olives, and all the olive fruits produced were sold to local olive enterprises. Longnan's geographical position is very suitable for planting olive, an exotic plant introduced from abroad.
20 16 Longnan became the largest olive planting base in China, where the quality of olive fruit is good and the oil yield is high. However, there were no trains in Longnan before, and the transportation cost of trucks was very high. Local high-quality extra virgin olive oil can never be used. Jia Yongxiang is often worried that the olive fruit planted on 100 mu of land cannot be sold.
After the opening of lanzhou-chongqing railway, the sales of olive oil, which used to be difficult to transport, increased greatly because of the lower cost. Jia Yongxiang no longer has to worry about rotten olives in the field. Now he is preoccupied with how to cultivate new varieties, increase production and income, and usher in a bigger harvest year on 20 18.
Jia Yongxiang: According to the number of plants I planted, the income of olives will not be less than 300,000 next year.
Along the way, generations of expectations ushered in the first Spring Festival travel rush after the opening of lanzhou-chongqing railway. The wheels are rolling, making the people in mountainous areas rich, making economic factors flow rapidly, and also driving new space and new impetus for regional cooperation and e-commerce to help the poor.
Jiao, Director of the Electronic Commerce Center in Wudu District, Longnan City, Gansu Province: At the beginning of 20 13, our annual sales were more than 50 million. Now in 20 17, we have achieved1400 million e-commerce sales. From 20 13 to 20 17, our accumulated e-commerce sales have reached 2.8 billion yuan, and now we have opened an online store.
Strong transportation force, railway first. These remarkable achievements not only show the strength of a big country, but also inject strength into the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Over the past 40 years of reform and opening-up, China Railway has made great strides and developed greatly, and its appearance has changed with each passing day. What remains unchanged is the decades-long dedication and dedication of railway workers.
On October 25th, 2065438+200865438+/kloc-0, heavy snow suddenly fell in Wuhan, and the temperature dropped to minus 5 degrees. Wujiashan Station is the starting station of Wuhan Central European Train. The China-Europe train departs from here three times a week and picks it up twice. China-Europe trains loaded with goods near noon 1 1: 00 need to be dispatched on time. In order not to affect the normal departure of trains, railway workers began to sweep snow and remove ice at 4 am.
At the foot of Yanshan Mountain, on the coast of Bohai Sea. In order to ensure the normal rush of Spring Festival travel rush, the rail inspection team, composed of 12 retired female soldiers, is responsible for the inspection of 274 sets of switches from Liucun South Station to Qinhuangdao East Station 1 18 km station line on Daqin Line.
They have to walk for six or seven hours on the 8-kilometer-long line every day. In order to avoid getting off the bus, they have to move the 55-kilogram flaw detector up and down more than 20 times. In the past ten years, 12 retired female soldiers have achieved good results of zero missed inspection, zero violation and zero accident, and supported their responsibilities and responsibilities with strong will.
Shi Xiaoyan, squad leader of Liucun women's flaw detection work area of Daqin Railway: We are particularly pleased to see that 20,000 tons of trains pass by us safely every day, because we have a contribution here.
Every mountain will build roads and bridges when it meets water. Boarding the most beautiful railway and experiencing the beautiful China has become the favorite tourism project of the people. Hainan's high-speed rail around the island is a beautiful encounter between the train and the sea; Lan Xin high-speed rail, appreciate the western customs; The "golden route" in the ice and snow-Harbin-Dalian high-speed railway; The Beijing-Tianjin high-speed railway has made a 30-minute city circle; The Beijing-Guangzhou high-speed railway, with a journey of 2,294 kilometers, is the longest in the world, and it can even experience the change of seasons in eight hours.
In the 40 years of reform and opening up, the long road and the ever-changing figures have ushered in the reputation of a big transportation country.
China high-speed railway has entered a brand-new era, with the total mileage and running speed ranking first in the world. The high-speed railway alone has reached more than 22,000 kilometers, with a total mileage exceeding the sum of the 2nd to 10 countries, accounting for more than 60% of the world.
In 20 17 years, the operating mileage of China railway was124,000 kilometers, crossing the bustling cities and criss-crossing fields.
The grand blueprint of the "eight vertical and eight horizontal" high-speed railway network is clearly outlined.
In 2020, the total mileage of high-speed rail in China will increase to 30,000 kilometers, covering more than 80% of big cities.
The development of high-speed rail in China is as fast as its running speed, and it has become a new business card of "Made in China", connecting China and the world. The rolling wheels of trains in China and Europe have also brought changes to our lives.
February 18, 1, on the first day of Spring Festival travel rush, 90 stores of three major commercial groups in Wuhan opened the "Eastern Europe Preferred Goods Zone" at the same time, and the marketing highlight was the foreign goods brought back from Europe by the Central European trains. 20/kloc-in September, 2003, China's national leaders put forward a major initiative of "One Belt, One Road", and it has only been four and a half years. Perhaps not many people thought that this grand idea has now begun to change the daily life of ordinary people in China.
Chen Jing, Deputy General Manager of Super Department of Zhong Bai Warehouse Supermarket Co., Ltd.: Up to now, the products we have cooperated with Banlie in Han Ou have reached 1 1 countries, involving 16 categories and nearly 200 varieties.
For this batch of "foreign goods", Chen Jing has a special feeling, because many of them were bought by herself from European manufacturers one by one, which was completely impossible in the past. In the past, it took a long time to ship European goods from Zhong Bai Warehouse Global Direct Selling Center by sea. Generally, delivery from Europe takes about 60 days or even 3 months to reach Wuhan.
Some imported fast-selling goods will soon expire at their destination. Now the China-Europe train can deliver European products in about 14 days, and there are specially customized cold chain carriages. Wuhan citizens can enjoy the freshest delicacies such as juice, milk and cooking oil from Europe at their doorstep.
"The road is smooth, and all industries are prosperous." "Road" not only drives the economic, information and regional links, but also narrows the distance between countries. On the map of the world, there are more than 5,000 China-Europe trains running on the Belt and Road Initiative, with 57 routes, 35 cities in China and 32 cities in Europe 12 countries. China-Europe train has become the longest railway logistics line in the world, with a total length of 14000 km. It is not only a channel for economic and trade cooperation, but also a road for mutual learning among civilizations. Its beauty is the smoothness of trade, the blooming of the west and the bearing of revival. The vigorous development of these lines has not only strengthened the economic ties between China and Europe, but also witnessed the great achievements in the construction of the Belt and Road and even the economic and social development of China.
Well done, China.
