History cannot be rewritten, time cannot be turned back. Let's take the disappearance of Jinan's old train station as a painful lesson. The old train station, no matter how exquisite and realistic the reproduction is, is still a fake. The greatest significance of the restoration is to warn future generations that we have treated our history with a wrong attitude, which is our monument of shame.
Jinan Old Town Development Investment Group announced that it will invest 1.5 billion yuan in the construction of the north square of Jinan Railway Station. On the surface, this is a relatively ordinary construction project, and the official introduction said the main purpose of the project is to ease the pressure of the increasing number of Jinan Railway Station passengers gathering and distributing and the surrounding traffic.
In 2003, Jinan station's passenger volume of about 4 million, has reached 13 million, the south square space is narrow, to meet the needs of travelers, surrounded by high-rise buildings and roads, can not be expanded, there must be a new passenger distribution plaza. The project itself is actually quite ordinary, but it is worth noting that the project plans to rebuild the old Jinan Railway Station, which was demolished in 1992, in the north square.

Extended information:
The Jinan Old Railway Station, designed by German architect Hermann Fischer, was built in 1908, and was completed and put into use in 1912. It is a typical German station, with a calm and solid style of German architecture that is well-proportioned and coordinated, conveying to travelers a good sense of solidity and stability.
The long windows arranged in a spiral on the fa?ade of the clock tower, the large arched windows above the lintel of the ticket hall, and the triangular and semi-circular small skylights staggered up and down on the lower eaves of the roof tiles not only add curvilinear beauty to the building, but also increase indoor lightness. The square granite stones at the corners of the walls, the high pedestal steps outside the door, the dark green pines and cypresses planted in front of the windows, and the brownish-brown fences all make this not too big and not too small foreign-style old station both delicate and transparent, but also heavy and solid constancy.
The old Jinan Railway Station and the Jiaoji Railway Station designed by the Germans in the early twentieth century (now a public building of the Jinan Railway Bureau) were only a few hundred meters apart. The close coexistence of two sizeable stations, both in European style, is extremely rare in China's big cities. The main building, together with the clock tower, the baggage room, and the Jinan Railway Bureau and the Railway Hospital, form an imposing German-style complex.

Reference: The old Jinan Railway Station, known as the first station in the Far East, was dismantled and became a permanent pain for the people of Jinan! According to the explanation of the dismantling of the year is mainly because: with the repeated increase in passenger traffic, the old train station has been unable to meet the demand for passenger transportation, it must be rebuilt and expanded, of course, it needs to go through the normal procedures. Eventually, Jinan Railway Bureau by the Jinan City agreed to report the program to the Ministry of Railways, so all the green light, after the demolition! Of course, one of the most prevalent folk popularity is: an important non-railway system leader said, Jinan, the train station what good, the roof of the building is like a German ghost helmet, see the roof of this building is reminiscent of the colonial history of Jinan Now the folk of the demolition of the old train station to the account of the X leaders and others, orchestrating a lot of paragraphs to express the grievances. In fact, it has very little to do with the X leaders. In fact, it has nothing to do with the X's leadership, because the local government has no jurisdiction over the railroad. The demolition of the old train station was limited to the limitations of the historical period: the reform of the old to get rid of the new, speed up the pace of development, the construction of a new city. The original intention is good, the formalities are complete. Nostalgia is a sign of maturity. Now society nostalgia for the old train station, is also a mature performance. However, some of the silly things that were done when I was young, I didn't realize it. History is a clear mirror! It illuminates the society and also illuminates itself. Dictatorship and one-liners make Jinan people and the city of Jinan suffer great losses. The demolition of the old train station in Jinan shocked the people of the country and the world, and the old train station is not only a witness to history but also a famous design, a manifestation of human civilization. The government should establish a mechanism for investigating and pursuing responsibility for the decision-making mistakes, and for the complete eradication of one's own selfishness, so that there is a law to be followed, and violations of the law will be investigated! Jinan old train station refers to the "Jinan Station of the Jinpu Railway", is the end of the nineteenth century and the early twentieth century, the famous German architect Hermann Fischer designed a typical German station building. It was once the largest train station in Asia, and was listed in the architecture textbooks of Tsinghua and Tongji, and was listed as the first station in the Far East in the post-war West German publication Far East Travel. In those days, it was only a few hundred meters away from the Jiaoji Railway Station designed by the Germans in the early twentieth century (now a public building of the Jinan Railway Bureau). The two large-scale, European-style stations coexist in close proximity, which is extremely rare in China's big cities. 1992 March, although by the public and scholars strongly opposed, Jinan City, Shandong Province, and the railroad department still implemented the demolition of the old station program. Even better, it is a product of China's invasion and slavery, so don't be so cheap in Jinan. Demolished certainly a pity, but their demolition of many years, demolished on the demolition, there is nothing to be entangled! There is this idle worry time, not as good as the work', do more for Jinan's economic development of the real thing! The decision to dismantle the old train station in Jinan is the sinner of history! The first thing I'd like to say is that I'm not sure what I'm talking about! The people who decided to demolish the old train station in Jinan are the sinners of history! A bunch of foreigners don't worry about it, as if you see the old train station. The demolition of a word, why demolition is also a word poor. After the reform and opening up, the station can not meet the capacity, there is no developer, no commercial housing, the government also has no money to find another place to demolish, can only be in situ to expand a little. A bunch of fools, will eat enough to scold. Up and down do not know the historical and artistic value of excellent buildings. I hope that this kind of incident will not happen again. Shanghai has done a good job in preserving the excellent historical buildings of the modern era, and we can learn from it. The reason for the demolition of the old train station is that with the growth of economic life, the old train station can no longer meet the needs of the people, and the railroad department urgently need to build a new train station. But the new train station it built where Jinan old train station ? This is a problem. The railroads, in the case of Jinan, are a different system, belonging to the management of stripes and blocks. It is impossible for Jinan to grant land to the railroad. If the square to the north of Jinan Railway Station had been granted to the railroad to build a new station, the old station would not have to be demolished. But is that possible? The old train station collapsed under the circumstances of different management systems! The old train station's demolition is not the responsibility of the mayor or the vice-governor of the province, but it is the responsibility of the government. But, Jinan old train station they must not have said to keep. It's not fair to put some of the blame on them. But if they don't, who will? In the 1970s, when I was a soldier in the Jinan Military Region, I had been to the Jinan Railway Station twice, and clearly remembered that the train station was a foreign-style building, and it looked pretty good. Now I know that building in the line is called Gothic architecture, but also know that the German occupation of Jinan, Shandong Province, left the building, has been more than 100 years of history, and then heard that it was demolished, a strange pity, no matter who built it, preserved or have considerable research value and a certain artistic value, which at that time can be called a landmark building in the city of Jinan. Today, the new train station built on the original site may be larger than the old station, but there are no special features. If so, why did you demolish the old train station in the first place? Although I was not a knowledgeable person at the time, but I analyze that there must be some reason. Probably the decision-makers at the time of radical thinking, that foreign buildings are not as good as Chinese buildings, the need to dismantle and then build new, which is called the old and new, and then one may want to raise the provincial capital of Jinan Railway Station to a higher level, while ignoring the importance of heritage conservation, and in addition, may not have solicited the experts and scholars to conduct a full demonstration of the relevant aspects of experts and scholars, I think that the main reason may be related to this. So this is a typical deep lesson, but also for the future to avoid the recurrence of such problems sounded the alarm.
