Why must you take the Chengdu-Kunming Railway once?

The Chengdu-Kunming Railway is one of the most beautiful railway lines in China and the "heavenly road" leading to Daliang Mountain.

Fortunately, this annual vacation is a little longer, and I can finally take the Chengdu-Kunming Line to realize my dream of Yunnan.

If I am traveling, and I have plenty of time, I usually choose to take the most primitive rail transportation such as trains. In the carriages where people of all kinds from all over the world gather, you come and go, and there are so many people. Surging not only depicts the most ordinary and real appearance of life, but if you meet someone with the same topic and talk endlessly, there may be a few more unique stories.

The scenery outside the carriage has changed several times, while inside the carriage is the passage of time in the life of fireworks.

The road winds all the way south from Chengdu, the Land of Abundance, through the fertile Chengdu Plain, which is about 500 meters above sea level. I originally thought that I should go straight down to the south, but suddenly I headed west to approach the uncanny Hengduan Mountains. Go up the Dadu River, cross the Dadu River Grand Canyon, climb the rugged Daliang Mountains and Xiaoliang Mountains, and then travel through the criss-crossing landscape formed by the Yalong River, Lancang River, Nu River, Niuri River and other large river valleys at an altitude of about 2,300 meters. It travels, then goes down through the Jinsha River Valley at an altitude of about 1,000 meters, then goes up through the Central Yunnan Plateau at an altitude of about 1,900 meters south of Chengdu, and finally goes down across the hilly areas of the Dianchi Lake area until it reaches its destination - the spring city of Kunming.

Leaning by the window and looking up, you can see the beauty of "I see how charming the green mountains are", the vastness and majesty of "the waves are rolling in the wind from the end of the world"; There are thousands of rocks and ravines to lean on, and people’s homes on flowing water where the sky is pure and level and the cold moon is shining.

These mountains and riverbanks have been sleeping for countless years, like energetic wise men watching the passage of thousands of years and the changes of wind and rain in the world with their wise eyes. No one dares to despise them. Under their majesty, they accepted the outside world with their generous minds, bringing a new journey to the hinterland of Daliang Mountain that was originally isolated from the world. ?

But in fact, the earliest reputation of the Chengdu-Kunming Railway is not how beautiful the scenery along it is, but that behind this railway, it is full of heroic feelings that you and I can't imagine.

As early as 1974, the ivory sculpture with the theme of the Chengdu-Kunming Railway was presented to the United Nations as a gift by the Chinese government, and was used together with the moon rocks brought back by the American "Apollo" spacecraft and the Soviet Union's first The artificial satellite model was rated by the United Nations as "the three wonders that symbolize the conquest of nature by mankind in the twentieth century."

And the "One Line of Sky" stone arch bridge along the Chengdu-Kunming Railway still remains the longest span in China. Railway stone arch bridge record.

There are many kinds of geological phenomena along the railway line. Geological disasters such as landslides, rockfalls, debris flows, mountain collapses, and karsts are even more common. The Hengduan Mountains area is located in the major geological fault zone in western my country, with steep terrain and complex geology. The valley is deep and the slopes are steep, and more than 500 kilometers of the entire line are located in areas with seismic intensity of 7 to 9 degrees. To build a railway in such road conditions, unless a miracle occurs, such geology is called a "road construction forbidden area."

However, the generations of railway builders who dared to strive for innovation truly became the creators of this miracle in the torrent of history.

More than half a century ago, the railway soldiers who fought on the Chengdu-Kunming Railway, both men and women, carried guns and wielded shovels day and night. However, due to the extremely difficult construction and the Due to construction conditions, many railway soldiers died on that road and never had the chance to see the railway completed.

To this day, you can still see many martyrs’ cemeteries along the Chengdu-Kunming Railway, where countless heroic souls who dedicated themselves to this railway sleep.

But despite this, there were still many people rushing to join the railway construction team at that time, whether they were college students with higher education or illiterate village women, even in the face of many unknown Risks still cannot stop the determination to build the railway.

It is not only a railway, but also a broad road for a nation to move towards the dawn.

“People today may not understand, but this period represents the dreams of a generation of young people. In non-combat situations, we are neither afraid of suffering nor afraid of death. This is the belief and belief of young people of our era. Spiritual power. ”

The former railway arms have disappeared, but the dreams passed down from that time are still intact in the hearts of that generation. Even if the years pass, the heroic feelings remain. Along with this majestic pass and the long road, amidst the rumble of the train running over the rails, it continues forever.

The scenery outside the window is still calm, like a gorgeous and restrained epic. Even if it just passes by, the brief pause in the heart at that moment is enough to linger on for a long time.

I stood in silence, feeling infinitely relaxed in my mind. There was no mess and confusion in the world. I just wanted to greedily hold the freehand landscapes of the moment and the historical feelings of the past in my arms.

Modern transportation is developed and convenient, and our country’s high-speed rail technology is prohibitive to many countries in the world. A flight can take us to our destination in just two hours.

Many things in the world have become faster. The pace of growth, the speed of parents getting older, the sophistication of people who come and go day and night, and the housing prices that can never catch up. Sometimes when traveling, you can also rush to another scenic spot. A scenic spot, a trip here in a hurry to capture the scenery in your camera.

I really want to make life slower, and slower again.

How about let us carry the simplest luggage on a sunny morning, get on the train, and wander to a beautiful place.
