Touching story of plateau road builders

Information and touching stories about the construction of Qinghai-Tibet Railway February, 20091Sunday, 5, 02: 001People once said that it is impossible to build a railway to Tibet, with 5000 meters of mountains to climb, 12 kilometers of valleys to bridge, and hundreds of kilometers of frozen soil areas unable to support rails and trains. Besides, when you need to find an oxygen cylinder in a slight movement, who is likely to lay the rails? This railway is the best example of China's enterprising spirit. The 10th Division of the Railway Corps has a company commander named Deng Guangji. In order to build the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, he went to the plateau sick. Later, I got leukemia at the plateau. When he was rescued in his hometown hospital, he left a will to his relatives and comrades: "If I die, I will bury my ashes in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. I didn't build a railway before my death, and I will see it built on the roof of the world after my death. " Sun Youli, former party secretary of the head office, is the commander of the Qinghai-Tibet railway construction. His son Sun Sheng went to the plateau with him when he was very young. When my son was 8 years old, I didn't know if ducks had long legs. Many people's children were born on the plateau. They only eat apples and have never seen trees. When I went down the mountain, I went to Xining and saw poplars. I shouted and picked apples from the trees. They only know that apples grow on trees, but they don't know that there are many trees in the world. Wang is the construction director of China Railway 17th Bureau. He was as brave as a tiger when he was building the Qinghai-Tibet Railway. However, just when he didn't know what suffering was, he fell ill unconsciously and later died in a ward in Taiyuan. The doctor said, "He has altitude sickness." Before he died, he said to the bureau leader, "I don't regret being a railway soldier." If I die, let my daughter go to work as a railway soldier and build roads without wearing a military uniform. " What he passed on to his daughter is not only the consciousness of starting a business, but also the openness and loftiness of Jiangshan. The life reflected by a mountain consciousness should also have such a spirit, which penetrated into myself and my daughter on 1974. Wang Lianqing, then deputy head of the 47th regiment of the Railway Corps, was one of the first soldiers to enter the Guanjiao Tunnel. In 1950s, the construction of Qinghai-Tibet Railway was dismounted for the first time. After 14, Guanjiao Tunnel was flooded by wind erosion, and water accumulated in the tunnel. The soldiers opened the seal and sat on the raft to start a preliminary study. During the first exploration, the logging curve turned over. This seems to mean that the troops will wage a fierce battle in Guanjiao Tunnel. 1April 5, 975, 10: 40, the 30-meter-long side wall at the exit of Guanjiao Tunnel collapsed, resulting in the collapse of the arch, 1600 cubic meters of falling rocks, trapping the commanders and soldiers under construction in the tunnel. In order to make a breakthrough, the comrades in the cave are all cadres party member, putting aside the masses and recruits. The recruit asked, "Why?" Party member replied, "There is death here." The recruits cried. They cried and begged the cadres and party member, "Let us go. Everyone is threatened with death. You left us a little hope, and we felt sad ... "Then there was a cry ... Wu Dean, the deputy battalion commander, was in a desperate situation with extremely thin oxygen, telling everyone not to panic, talk less and organize everyone to save themselves. Finally, the comrades in the hole climbed out of the black hole of death with the rescue of the comrades outside the hole. When they saw the sun, they all fainted on the ground, and a large number of people were lying at the mouth of the tunnel ... How many touching stories did this magical "Heaven" bear? South China Morning Post 2006- 12-25 ■ Guo Nanning News (Reporter Guo) 12-23, the sixth lecture of "Guangxi Political Consultative Conference" was held in the auditorium of the Party Committee of the autonomous region. At the invitation of CPPCC, Sun Yongfu, former vice minister of the Ministry of Railways and academician of China Academy of Engineering, gave a special speech entitled "Mysterious Qinghai-Tibet Railway". Sun Yongfu served as the deputy head of the leading group for the construction of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway and presided over the construction of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway. As a leader and participant in the construction of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, Sun Yongfu told the audience the whole process of the construction, opening and operation of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, and also mentioned some little-known stories. Sun Yongfu said happily that during the construction of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, the vast number of builders worked hard to build a "spiritual plateau". When the plan to build the Qinghai-Tibet Railway was put forward, it was suggested that Sun Yongfu should not do so because the construction environment of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway was very difficult. Others worry that building a "heavenly road" on the "roof of the world" will discourage people. However, what moved him was that many construction units were very enthusiastic when bidding for the construction of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway. The 17th Bureau of China Railway played an important role in the railway construction project of Xining-Golmud section of Qinghai-Tibet Railway in 1950s. This time, China Railway 17th Bureau failed to bid. Without winning the bid, the employees were disappointed: "We used to sweat for the old Qinghai-Tibet Railway, and now we have to build a new section of the railway. How can we not be there? " The directors who participated in the bidding were burdened with expectations and could not face the staff when they returned to the station. Later, the director found Sun Yongfu and volunteered for the construction of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway many times, and brought more than 100 people's blood books written by biting his fingers to express his determination to go to the plateau and contribute to the construction of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway. Wind volcano observatory, more than 4700 meters above sea level. For more than 40 years, three generations of technicians have been guarding this observation station and collected more than120,000 data, which provided very precious data for building the Qinghai-Tibet Railway to solve the frozen soil problem. The first generation of the watchtower was the party secretary of the station. He fell ill after working for 10 years. Before he died, he left a sentence: "please bury my ashes in the wind volcano after I die." I want to see the trains on the Qinghai-Tibet Railway pass. " Later, his son took part in the work. Now, the third generation who stayed at the Wind and Volcano Detection Station has been working for more than 30 years. On the plateau, the daily life and construction of Qinghai-Tibet railway construction workers are restricted by natural conditions, and even if they are not careful, they may die. However, the project builders solved one difficulty after another through their own suggestions. At that time, construction workers had to walk a long way to get up at night to relieve themselves. Tens of thousands of people work on the plateau with limited conditions. Most of the construction sites are basically in the wild, and engineers live in tents. If you don't pay attention, getting up at night to relieve yourself may cause a cold, which will turn into cerebral edema and pulmonary edema. What shall we do? The commander of China Railway No.12 Bureau came up with a solution-building a mobile toilet. Push the mobile toilet to the camp at night and dock with the door of the camp, so that everyone can go to the toilet to relieve themselves without going through the open air, and remove the toilet during the day to avoid catching a cold. At an altitude of four or five kilometers, normal people still find it difficult to breathe, not to mention physical exercise such as digging tunnels. How to ensure the smooth construction of workers? The commander of China Railway 20th Bureau came up with a way to develop an oxygen generator on the plateau, make oxygen on the spot and send it directly to the construction site. At that time, 17 plateau oxygen generators were built along the whole line, which ensured the work of the construction team in high altitude areas along the line. The frozen soil section is being tested, and Sun Yongfu is proud that as of June 165438+ 10, the Qinghai-Tibet Railway has transported 953,000 passengers. 270,000 people entered Tibet and 3 1 10,000 people left Tibet. The input of key materials such as coal, petroleum, fertilizer and grain has gradually increased, which has effectively promoted the economic and social development of Qinghai and Tibet provinces. Frozen soil, cold and hypoxia, and ecological fragility are three major worldwide problems in plateau railway construction. The Qinghai-Tibet Railway has been in operation for half a year. After entering the first winter this year, some media reported that some frozen soil sections were slightly deformed. What impact have these conditions had on the normal operation of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway? In response to people's questions, when Sun Yongfu went to Tibet for a meeting in September, he specially took a bus from Xining to Tibet to feel the effect of railway operation. "According to the recent monitoring results along the railway, we found that the degree of subgrade deformation is very small. Only a few frozen sections of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway have slight deformation and the subgrade has slight settlement." Sun Yongfu replied categorically, "Overall, the subgrade is stable and reliable, basically meeting the design requirements, and is currently undergoing the test of cold winter."
