Stories about being down-to-earth and achieving success

Zhan Tianyou, born in 1861 (Qing Xianfeng eleven years) in an ordinary tea merchant family, died on April 24, 1919, No.眷诚, the word Dachao, Guangdong Nanhai people, originally from Jiangxi Wuyuan, is China's first railroad engineers, responsible for the construction of the "Beijing-Zhangzhou Railway" and other projects, with "" the father of China's railways "called. Father of China's railroads". When he was a teenager, Zhan Tianyou was very interested in machines, often with neighborhood children, with clay imitation to do all kinds of machine models. Sometimes, he also secretly took apart the family's self-tuning clock, fiddled with and touched the components inside, and raised some questions that even adults could not answer. 1872, at the age of twelve, Zhan Tianyou went to Hong Kong to apply for the "young children to go to the United States to prepare for the class" organized by the Qing government. After he was accepted, his father put his signature on a certificate stating, "In case of illness, life or death, let us all be at peace with God's will". From then on, he left his parents and came to the U.S. to study in the U.S.A. with the ideal of learning Western "skills". In the U.S., the students of the overseas preparatory class, witnessed the great achievements of science and technology in North America and Western Europe, and marveled at the rapid development of machines, trains, ships and telecommunications manufacturing. Some students thus pessimistic about the future of China, but Zhan Tianyou with a firm belief that "in the future, China will also have trains, ships." With the conviction of studying hard for the wealth and strength of his country, he studied hard and graduated with honors from New Haven in 1877. 1878 May, he was admitted to the Department of Civil Engineering at Yale University, specializing in railroad engineering. In the four years of the university, Zhan Tianyou study hard, with outstanding results in the graduation examination ranked first. 1881, in one hundred and twenty Chinese students returned to China, only two of the degree, Zhan Tianyou is one of them. After returning to China, Zhan Tianyou enthusiastically prepared to contribute what he had learned to the motherland's railroad business. However, the Qing government foreign affairs officials superstitious foreign countries, in the construction of railroads rely on foreigners, even disregard for Zhan Tianyou's professional expertise, sent him to the Fujian Shipmasters Academy to learn to drive the sea ship. 1882 November was sent to the flagship of the "Yangwu" as a pilot officer, directing the drill. 1883, the Sino-French War broke out, the next year, the French fleet, which had been planning for a long time, the French fleet was sent to the United States. In 1883, the Sino-French war broke out, and in the next year, the French fleet entered the Min River one after another and was ready to move. However, the surrender of the Fujian navy minister He Ruzhang, but did not listen to, and even ordered: "not allowed to fire first, violators even if the victory will be beheaded!" At this time, Zhan Tianyou said privately to the "Yangwu" ship management (captain) Zhang Cheng: "The French warships have come a lot of malicious intentions. Although we have received orders, not allowed to fire first, but we must not fail to take precautions." Because of Zhan Tianyou's warning, "Yangwu" was very alert and prepared for battle. When the French fleet launched a sudden attack, Zhan Tianyou braved the fierce fire, calmly and wisely commanded the "Yangwu" left to right; avoid enemy fire, seize the opportunity to use the tail gun hit the French command ship "Volta", so that the French naval expedition commander Kubo almost lost his life. The commander of the French naval expedition, Lobo, nearly lost his life. On this sea battle, the Shanghai British businessmen founded the "Zilinxi newspaper" in the report also had to be surprised to marvel: "Westerners did not expect the Chinese will be so brave and forceful fighting. Yangwu' warship on the five students, to Zhan Tianyou's performance is the most courageous. He faced the enemy without fear, and in the critical moment of life and death can still be calm as usual, courage, in the water to save many people ......" from the post-war to 1888, after several setbacks, and finally transferred to the China Railway Company, as an engineer, which is the beginning of his dedication to the cause of China's railroads. Not long after Zhan Tianyou took up his post, he encountered a test. At that time from Tianjin to Shanhaiguan Jinyu Railway to the Luan River, to build a railroad bridge across the Luan River. Luanhe River bed sediment is very deep, and encountered the rising water rapids. Iron bridge began to claim that the world's first-class British engineers as the design, but failed; later asked the Japanese engineers obeisance to implement the chartered, but also did not work, and finally let the German engineers, and soon also lost the battle. Zhan Tianyou asked by the Chinese to engage in their own, responsible for the project of the British in a desperate situation, had to agree to Zhan Tianyou to try. Zhan Tianyou is a serious and down-to-earth person, he analyzed and summarized the reasons for the failure of the three foreign engineers, dressed in overalls with the workers on the ground investigation, dense measurement. At night, through the dim oil lamp, and carefully study the geological structure of the Luan River bed, repeated analysis and comparison, and finally determine the location of the bridge piers, and boldly decided to use a new method - "pressure caisson method" to carry out the construction of the bridge piers. Zhan Tianyou really succeeded in building the Luanhe Bridge. This event shocked the world: a Chinese engineer actually solved three foreign engineers can not complete the big problem. Immediately after Zhan Tianyou's first success, he encountered a more severe test: in 1905, the Qing government decided to build China's first railroad, the Jingzhang Railway (this is the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway). Both Britain and Russia tried to intervene, but their attempts failed due to the strong opposition of the Chinese people. The British and Russian ambassadors said in a threatening tone, "If the Beijing-Zhangzhou Railway is built by Chinese engineers themselves, it will have nothing to do with Britain and Russia." They thought that in this way, China would not be able to build the railroad. At this critical moment, Zhan Tianyou did not hesitate to take over this arduous task, and was fully responsible for the construction of the Jingzhang ("Jing" means Beijing, "Zhang" means Zhangjiakou) Railway. The news came, some imperialists and the British press sarcastically said: "China can build this railroad engineers are still in the womb not born! It will take at least fifty years, if not a dream, for the Chinese to build their own railroad without relying on foreigners." They even attacked Zhan Tianyou as the general manager and chief engineer is "arrogant", "not self-importance". Zhan Tianyou against the pressure, insisted on not appointing a foreign engineer, and said: "China's land is vast, and in all the way to the work must be borrowed from outsiders, I think shame!" "China has woken up, and the Chinese want to build railroads with their own engineers and their own money." In August 1905, the Beijing-Zhangzhou Railway was officially opened, and the intense exploration and line selection work began. Zhan Tianyou personally led students and workers, carrying markers, latitude and longitude instruments, running day and night in the rugged mountains. One evening, the fierce northwest wind swirling sand and gravel in the Badaling area whistling and roaring, scraping people can not open their eyes, the survey team in a hurry to end the work, fill in a measured number, climb down from the rock face. Zhan Tianyou took over the book, while looking through the figures filled in, while asking suspiciously: "Is the data accurate"? "Almost", replied the surveyor. Zhan Tianyou said seriously, "The first requirement of technology is precision, there can not be a little fuzzy and frivolous, 'probably', 'almost' such statements can not the mouth of the engineering staff." Then, he picked up the instrument on his back, braved the wind and sand, and climbed to the rock wall with renewed effort, seriously re-surveyed it again, and corrected an error. When he came down, his lips were frozen blue. Soon the exploration and construction entered the most difficult stage. In the Badaling and Qinglongqiao area, overlapping mountains, steep walls and hanging rocks, to open four tunnels, the longest of which amounted to more than a thousand meters. Zhan Tianyou after accurate measurement and calculation, decided to take the construction method: from the north and south ends of the mountain at the same time to the chisel, and in the middle of the mountain to open a large well, in the well and then to the north and south ends of the chisel. This not only ensures the quality of construction, but also speed up the progress of the project. Cutting holes, a large number of stones rely on artificial spade shovel digging, gushing spring water to be picked out by the quart, as the chief engineer of Zhan Tianyou no frame of mind, and workers with the digging stone, with the water, a face of sludge and sweat. He also inspired everyone, "Beijing-Zhangzhou Railway is the first railroad we built with our own people, our own money, the eyes of the world are looking at us, must succeed!" "Whether it succeeds or fails, it must not be our own success or failure, but our country's success or failure!" In order to overcome the difficulties of steep slopes, to ensure the safety of the train climbed up to Badaling, Zhan Tianyou ingenuity, creative use of the principle of "folding line", in the steep slopes of the Qinglongqiao section designed a section of herringbone line, thus reducing the excavation of tunnels, reducing the gradient. Train here, with two high-powered locomotives, a pull and a push to ensure the safety of the train uphill. Zhan Tianyou on the whole project had put forward "spend less money, good quality, finished quickly" three requirements. The Beijing-Zhangzhou Railway was finally opened to traffic in September 1909 after several struggles by workers. Originally planned to be completed in six years, the result was only four years ahead of schedule, the project cost only one-fifth of the foreigner's estimate. Some European and American engineers visited the car after tsk tsk, praise Zhan Tianyou marvelous. But Zhan Tianyou said modestly: "This is the power of the Beijing-Zhangzhou Railway more than 10,000 employees, not my personal credit, glory should belong to everyone." After the completion of the Beijing-Zhangzhou Railway, Zhan Tianyou also succeeded the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway Governor and Chief Engineer. At this time, the United States decided to award him a doctorate degree in engineering, and asked him to go to the United States in person to participate in the conferral ceremony. In order to fully participate in the construction of the motherland railroad, he gave up this honor. After the Xinhai Revolution, Zhan Tianyou in order to revitalize the cause of railroads, and peers up to set up the Chinese Engineering Society, and was elected president. During this period, he devoted a lot of effort to the training of young engineers and technicians, in addition to his own behavior to make an example, but also encourage young people to "study academics, in order to invention", and asked them to "do not bend themselves to favor others, do not sell fame and reputation. Receive things in good faith, no small-mindedness, the Guibi bundle body, as an example." Zhan Tianyou engaged in the railroad business for more than thirty years, almost every railroad in China at that time have different degrees of relationship. In his later years, because of the disease, unfortunately died in 1919. Comrade Zhou Enlai once highly praised the achievements of Zhan Tianyou, said he was "the glory of the Chinese people". During the construction of the Beijing-Zhangzhou Railway, Zhan Tianyou defined various railroad engineering standards and submitted a letter to the government requesting that they be adopted by the whole country. China is still using the 4 feet 8 inches and a half standard rail, Jan's automatic hook (Janney Coupler, also known as Jiangni hooks, Zheng's hooks, created by the American Eli Janney) and so on are from the proposal of Zhan Tianyou. In addition, Zhan Tianyou also focus on the training of railroad personnel, the development of the engineer promotion statute, the assessment of engineering personnel and requirements to make explicit provisions, and set out the engineer's salary is linked to the assessment results. The Beijing-Zhangzhou Railway trained many Chinese engineers, and the assessment regulations formulated by Zhan Tianyou were copied by other Chinese railroads. After the completion of the Jing-Zhang Railway, Zhan was awarded a bachelor's degree in engineering by the Xuantong Emperor and served as an examiner for foreign students; in 1910, he became the Premier and Engineer of the Guangdong Hanjiang Railway Company, and in 1912, he also served as the Director of the Han-Yueyue-Chuan Railway Company and was responsible for the construction of the Han-Yueyue and Han-Chuan Railways. Since then, he settled in No. 9 Eha Street (now No. 51 Dongting Street) in the Russian Concession in Hankou. In the same year, he established the "Chinese Society of Engineers" and was elected as the first president. After the establishment of the Republic of China, in 1913, was appointed by the government as the Ministry of Transportation Technical Supervisor, in 1914 was awarded the second class Bao Guang Jia He Chapter. 1916, was awarded an honorary doctorate of law degree by the University of Hong Kong. 1919 early, was appointed to Vladivostok and Harbin as the Allied Powers to supervise the conference of the Far East Railway China representative. April due to illness back to Hankou, April 24 died at the age of 59 years old. Zhan Tianyou and his wife Tan Juzhen buried in the Beijing-Zhangzhou Road, near the Qinglongqiao train station. 1922 Qinglongqiao train station erected a bronze statue of Zhan Tianyou. 1987, near the built Zhan Tianyou Memorial Hall. In commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the Beijing-Zhangzhou Railway, the people of Zhangjiakou will always remember the Beijing-Zhangzhou Railway Chief Designer Zhan Tianyou, in 2005 in Zhangjiakou South Station Square, built Zhan Tianyou statue. Zhan Tianyou is China's modern science and engineering history of pioneers, but also China's modern history of outstanding patriotic intellectuals. Qing Xianfeng eleven years (1861) April 26th was born in Nanhai County, Guangdong Province, Qing Tongzhi eleven years (1872), to study in the United States at public expense. Qing Guangxu seven years (1881) in June, graduated from the United States of America Yale University Sheffield Polytechnic Department of Civil Engineering, returned to China in August of the same year. He served as an instructor at the Fuzhou School of Shipbuilding and the Guangzhou School of Land and Water Engineers. Qing Guangxu fourteen years (1888) as tianjin railroad company engineer. 1880s, he devoted himself to the cause of China's railroad construction, has presided over China's Beijing-Zhangzhou, Sichuan-Han, Guangdong-Han and other early railroad construction, for the development of China's early railroad construction, dedication to the cause of the lifelong struggle. In particular, he presided over the completion of the Beijing-Zhangzhou Railway (1905-1909), which shocked the Chinese and foreigners, demonstrated the diligence and wisdom of our working people, invigorated the national spirit, and promoted the development of the railroad industry. In the face of the imperialist powers, he was not afraid of violence, unyielding, and put forward the slogan of "Each one learns what he knows, each one does what he knows, so that the country will not be insulted by foreign invasion, and will stand on its own feet above the earth", which represents the indomitable and unyielding noble national ethos of the children of the Yellow Emperor and will be a model for the generations to come. Because of the lack of rest, the disease, Zhan Tianyou in

April 24, 1919 in Hankou Renji Hospital died at the age of 59 years old. In the same year, a full-body standing bronze statue of Zhan Tianyou was erected at Qinglongqiao Station.

Zhan Tianyou, the word眷诚. 1861 was born in Nanhai County, Guangdong Province. 1872 July 8, the 12-year-old Zhan Tianyou as China's first government-run students to study in the United States.

Zhan Tianyou in the United States has studied in Weihafen elementary school, crossbow Hafen middle school, and in 1881 graduated from Yale University with honors, and wrote a thesis entitled "the study of dock cranes," was awarded a bachelor's degree, and returned to China in the same year. After returning to China, Zhan Tianyou entered the Mawei Boat School to study, after completing his studies, he was sent to the flagship of the Fujian navy "Yangwu" as a gunner, and participated in the Mawei naval battle. After the war, he was transferred to the Whampoa Naval Academy as a teacher.

Fujian navy flagship

In 1888, Zhan Tianyou by old classmate Kuang Sunmou's recommendation, to the China Railway Company as an engineer. Being annihilated for seven long years, Zhan Tianyou had the opportunity to dedicate himself to the cause of the motherland's railroad. At this time when the Tianjin - Tangshan Railway construction, he did not want to live in Tianjin for a long time, he personally visited the site, and workers with the **** bitter, the results only eighty days of time on the completion of the opening of the train. However, Li Hongzhang to the British Jinda's credit on the work, and promote Jinda as chief engineer. Zhan Tianyou's credit was thus plagiarized.

In 1890, the Qing government and repair the Guanzhou Railway (now the Beijing-Shenyang Railway), to Jinda as chief engineer. 1892 project to the Luanhe Bridge, many countries want to tout this business, Jinda of course, the British first, but the British Karkes to build the bridge and failed. Japanese and German contractors also failed. As the deadline for delivery is approaching, Jinda had to turn to Zhan Tianyou. Zhan Tianyou exhaustive analysis of the reasons for the failure of various countries, and the bottom of the Luanhe River geological soil after thorough measurement and research, decided to change the pile site, using the traditional Chinese method to Chinese divers to dive into the bottom of the river, with machine operation, the victory completed the task of piling, built the Luanhe River Bridge. In 1894, the British Engineering Society elected Zhan Tianyou as a member of the Society.

Since then, Zhan Tianyou has led the construction of the Beijing-Tianjin Road, Pingli Road (Pingxiang to Liling) and other railroads.

Yuan Shikai, in order to curry favor with the Naras, in 1902 requested the construction of a new easy railroad (Gaobeidian to Yixian) dedicated to the royal family to pay homage to their ancestors. Train to the ancestors, Narra naturally happy. In order not to miss the ancestral use in 1903, ordered Yuan Shikai in six months to complete. Yuan Shikai ordered Zhan Tianyou to be the chief engineer. Although the value of this road is not great, but is the beginning of the Chinese people since the construction of railroads, so Zhan Tianyou is still very important. Zhan Tianyou completely abandoned the foreigners at that time must be in the roadbed after the completion of air-drying a year before laying tracks of the conventional, only four months to save the cost of building a new easy railroad. This greatly encouraged the Chinese to build their own railroads and laid a good foundation for the construction of the Beijing-Zhangzhou Railway.

Zhangjiakou for Beijing to Inner Mongolia's key, north and south travelers and businessmen to and from the porous road, has always been for the soldiers must fight, so the Beijing-Zhangzhou Railway has an important economic value and political value. When the Qing court to repair the news of the Beijing-Zhang Road, the largest force in China, Britain is determined to win, depending on the Great Wall to the north of its sphere of influence of the Tsarist Russia vowed not to give up, the two sides argued, and finally reached an agreement: if the Qing court does not borrow foreign debt, do not use the foreign craftsmen, all the way by the Chinese people to repair this road, the two sides can not reach out. In this way, the Qing government put an end to the idea of seeking help from the foreigners and focus on self-maintenance.

In May 1905, the Beijing-Zhangzhou Railway Bureau and the establishment of the Bureau of Engineering, Chen Zhaochang for the General Manager, Zhan Tianyou for the Office of the Office of the Chief Engineer, in 1906 Zhan Tianyou was promoted to the Office of the General Manager and Chief Engineer. Zhan Tianyou clearly know the enormity of this task, he first had to resist cynicism from all sides: some people said he was "self-importance", "but spend a few money just", and even said that he was "bold and arrogant! He was even called "audacious". He wrote to his American teacher, Mrs. Nosopo, "If the Jing-Zhang project fails, it will not only be my misfortune, the misfortune of Chinese engineers, but also bring great losses to China. In my acceptance of this task before and after, many foreigners blatantly claimed that Chinese engineers can not bear the Beijing-Zhangzhou line of stone and caves of the arduous project, but I insisted that I engineering. Fully embodies the patriotic heart of Chinese intellectuals and national responsibility.

Zhan Tianyou surveyed three routes, the second detour too far for the undesirable. The third is today's Fengsha line. Due to the limited funding from the Qing court, time is running out, Zhan Tianyou decided to use the first route, that is, from Fengtai north to Xizhimen, Shahe, through the Nankou, Juyongguan, Badaling, Huailai, Jimingyi, Xuanhua to Zhangjiakou, a total length of 360 miles. The whole line of the difficulties in the Guan ditch, this area of stacked mountains, cliffs, engineering difficulties at that time for the country did not, the world is rare; slope is very great, Nankou and Badaling height difference of 180 feet. Zhan Tianyou divided the whole line into three sections: Fengtai to Nankou for the first section, Nankou to Kangzhuang for the second section, the rest for the third section.

On September 4, 1905, construction officially began, and on December 12, track laying began. On the very first day of track laying, one of the hook chains of an engineering train broke, causing a derailment. This became the evidence that the Chinese people can not build their own railroads, all kinds of slander and libel came thick and fast. But Zhan Tianyou did not panic, but instead calmly thought: this road is extremely steep, the connectivity between each carriage is not solid, the accident will be difficult to avoid. To this end, he used the automatic hook method, finally solved the problem.

September 30, 1906 the first section of the project all opened to traffic, the second section of the project began at the same time. The difficulty lay in the second section, which first had to open the four tunnels of Juyongguan, Wuguitou, Shifosi and Badaling, the longest of which was the Badaling Tunnel of 1,092 meters. This requires not only precise calculations and correct command, but also new types of openers, ventilators and pumps. The former was not a problem for Zhan Tianyou, but the latter was not available in China at that time, and only relied on the hands of the workers, the degree of difficulty can be imagined. They overcame all the difficulties and finally completed the second section of the project in September 1908," he said.

The third section of the project was second only to the Guan Gou in difficulty, encountering first the Huailai Bridge, the longest bridge on the Beijing-Zhangzhou Road, which consisted of seven 100-foot steel girders erected on top of each other. Thanks to Zhan Tianyou's correct direction, it was completed in time. on April 2, 1909 the train passed through to Xiahuayuan. Although the section from Xiahuayuan to Jimingyi mine turnoff was not long, the project was extremely difficult. The right side of the Sheep River, the left side of the rocky mountains, the mountain to open a six-foot deep channel, the mountain to be padded seven miles long riverbed. Zhan Tianyou that the mountain to open the stone to pad the riverbed under the mountain. In order to prevent the impact of flash floods on the roadbed, and protected with cement bricks, successfully completed the third section of the section.

For engineering difficulties, Zhan Tianyou never put in the eye, for the man-made obstacles but make Zhan Tianyou worried to the extreme. Qinghe there is a person called Guangzhai, is a former Taoist officer, relatives of the royal family Zaize, the dynasty and the countryside are powerful. Railroad just through its graveyard, he led a crowd of trouble, stopping the project, and privately promised a heavy bribe, asking for a diversion. The Ministry of Posts and Communications did not dare to ask. Here in the north is Zheng Wang grave, south is the eunuchs grave, west is the father of Na La's Gui Gong grave, to change the road I do not know how much time and money to be wasted. Zhan Tianyou to bribery as shameful, never change the road, even to stay and go to fight. Finally, because five ministers were bombed in the ocean, Jae-taek was too scared to hear about foreign affairs, Guangzhai only because of the loss of backing and agreed to pass through the grave outside the wall.

Edit this section of the Beijing-Zhangzhou Railway completion ceremony

This road was originally scheduled to be completed in six years, Zhan Tianyou finally two years ahead of schedule on August 11, 1909, the entire line opened to traffic, but also save two hundred and eighty-thousand two hundred and fifty thousand silver. The triumphant completion of the Jingzhang Road is a victory for the Chinese people and a full expression of the patriotic spirit of the Chinese patriotic intellectuals.

After the Xinhai Revolution, Zhan Tianyou in order to revitalize the cause of railroads, and counterparts up to set up the Chinese Engineering Society, and was pushed to the president. During this period, his cultivation of young engineers and technicians is shocking. In 1919, the end of the first European war, Zhan Tianyou, despite suffering from abdominal diseases, on behalf of the Chinese government to attend the international conference on the Far East Railway, braving the cold to the meeting, and attempted to occupy our country North Manchuria Middle East Railway Japanese representatives of the war, and obtained the protection of the Middle East Railway rights in our country. On the way back to China, he was sick again on the Great Wall, sigh: "life is long and short, destiny has sunken and risen, the initial construction of the road network of the dream dashed so that I hate the end of the day, fortunately, my life can be transformed into a prostrate in the land of China on a railroad track ......" he persevered, in the railroad His perseverance, in the railroad front and the great powers to fight the deeds, and his embodiment of the national spirit and the spirit of science highly integrated qualities, and the descendants of his bronze statue together, will always give us unlimited revelation.

For the engineering difficulties, Zhan Tianyou never put in the eye, for the man-made obstacles but make Zhan Tianyou worried to the extreme. Qinghe has a person called Guangzhai, is a former Taoist officer, a relative of the royal family Zaize, the dynasty and the countryside are powerful. Railroad just through its graveyard, he led a crowd of trouble, stopping the project, and privately promised a heavy bribe, asking for a diversion.

Finally, because five ministers were bombed in the ocean, Jae-taek was too scared to hear about foreign affairs, Guangzhai only because of the loss of backing and agreed to pass through the grave outside the wall.

Narrah's for the repair of the Summer Palace every year tens of millions of gold, only not willing to pay for road construction. Beijing and Zhang Railway funds rely on the winnings of the railroads inside and outside of Guanzhou, and this money is controlled in the hands of the British HSBC, just into the second section of the project, HSBC deliberately make things difficult to delay the payment of rates, resulting in lost time. Zhan Tianyou is not good at camping in the rich and powerful, more ashamed to meet the foreigners, and therefore resentful to the extreme.

The imperialists do not want to seize the road, the project began, the Japanese Yu Gong Keijiro petitioned Yuan Shikai said: the Chinese people are unable to repair this road, rather than hiring the Japanese technician is more secure. The British Jinda also came to Japan to say. Zhan Tianyou categorically refused on the grounds that no foreigner would be appointed to this road. After the Juyongguan Road project began, groups of foreigners often came to spy on the project under the name of hunting, hoping that the project would fail in order to take advantage of the danger. Zhan Tianyou with excellent results for the Chinese out of this breath.

August 1 905, the Beijing-Zhangzhou Railway officially started, the intense exploration, line selection work began. Zhan Tianyou personally took students and workers with? The key to malaria inhabited play? The work of the railway was started in August, and the work of selecting the line began. Powers of Powers of Powers of Mastiffs? I'm afraid I've lost my temper, but I'm not sure if I can do anything about it. The kingdom? Powers and Powers of the Kingdom? What is the microcosm? Black books? In the harvest? Black Buurin? Priced displays? Brule sole? What's the best way to get the money? Prices What is the basis of the UCI? What is the best way to get the best displays? What's your favorite place to be? Plutonium Can you help us? Can I get a new company to work with? Can I get a fine turnip? Will you be able to get a good deal of money at the expense of your company's business? What's wrong with your bed? No? No? What's left of the Song? What are you doing? i? No, I don't. The full of the high quality of life and the high quality of life of the Metacomet. Freeze! What are you doing? What are you doing? What's your name? What's the name of the small box? What is the name of the smallest cell in the world? What's your favorite? What is the best way to get the most out of your life? What is the name of the company? The first time I saw this was when I was a student at the University of California, Berkeley, and the second time I was a student at a school.

Soon, exploration and construction entered the most difficult stage. In the Badaling and Qinglongqiao area, the mountains overlap, steep walls and rocky outcrops, to open four tunnels, the longest of which is more than a thousand meters. Zhan Tianyou after accurate measurement and calculation, decided to take section construction method: from the north and south ends of the mountain at the same time to the chisel, and in the middle of the mountain to open a large well, in the well and then to the north and south ends of the chisel. This not only ensures the quality of construction, but also speed up the progress of the project. Cutting holes, a large number of stones rely on artificial spade shovel digging, gushing spring water to be picked out by the quart, as the chief engineer of Zhan Tianyou no frame of mind, and workers with the digging stone, with the water, a face of sludge and sweat. He also inspired everyone, "Beijing-Zhangzhou Railway is the first railroad we built with our own people, our own money, the eyes of the world are looking at us, must succeed!" "Whether it succeeds or fails, it must not be our own success or failure, but our country's!" In 1919, the end of the first European war, Zhan Tianyou, despite suffering from abdominal disease, on behalf of the Chinese government to attend the international conference on the Far East Railway, braving the cold to attend the meeting, and attempted to occupy our North Manchuria Middle East Railway Japanese delegates polemic, and gained the right to protect the Middle East Railway in China. On the way back to China, he was sick again on the Great Wall, sigh: "life is long and short, destiny has sunk and risen, the initial construction of the road network of the dream dashed so that I hate the end of the day, fortunately, my life can be transformed into a prostrate in the land of China on a railroad track ......" he persevered, in the railroad His perseverance, in the railroad front with the great powers of the struggle, and his embodiment of the national spirit and the spirit of science highly integrated qualities, and the descendants of his bronze statue together, will always give us unlimited revelation.

August 1 905, the Beijing-Zhangzhou Railway officially started, the intense exploration, line selection work began. Zhan Tianyou personally with students and workers with, carrying a marker, latitude and longitude, day and night in the rugged mountains. One evening, the fierce northwest wind swirling sand and gravel in the Badaling area whistling and roaring, scraping people can not open their eyes, the survey team in a hurry to end the work, fill in a measured number, climb down from the rock face. Zhan Tianyou took the book, while looking through the figures filled in, while asking suspiciously: "Is the data accurate"? "Almost", replied the surveyor. Zhan Tianyou said seriously, "The first requirement of technology is precision, there can not be a little fuzzy and frivolous, 'probably', 'almost' such statements can not the mouth of the engineering staff." Then, he picked up the instrument on his back, braved the wind and sand, and climbed to the rock wall with renewed effort, seriously re-surveyed it again, and corrected an error. When he came down, his lips were frozen blue.

Soon, the exploration and construction entered the most difficult stage. In the Badaling and Qinglongqiao area, the mountains overlap, steep walls and hanging rocks, to open four tunnels, the longest of which amounted to more than a thousand meters. Zhan Tianyou after accurate measurement and calculation, decided to take the construction method: from the north and south ends of the mountain at the same time to the chisel, and in the middle of the mountain to open a large well, in the well and then to the north and south ends of the chisel. This not only ensures the quality of construction, but also speed up the progress of the project. Cutting holes, a large number of stones rely on artificial spade shovel digging, gushing spring water to be picked out by the quart, as the chief engineer of Zhan Tianyou no frame of mind, and workers with the digging stone, with the water, a face of sludge and sweat. He also inspired everyone, "Beijing-Zhangzhou Railway is the first railroad we built with our own people, our own money, the eyes of the world are looking at us, must succeed!" "Whether it succeeds or fails, it must not be our own success or failure, but our country's success or failure!"
