The Siberian Railway starts from Moscow, passes through vast pine forests and snowfields, crosses the steep Ural Mountains, crosses the Siberian tundra, and finally reaches Vladivostok on the Pacific coast.
Although Einstein was 50 years old, his character was not boring. When the train was speeding through the endless earth-moving soil, he was as surprised as a child who found a new toy. He lay behind the window and stared without blinking.
"This is really a magical railway. It is simply unbelievable. It is more spectacular than the Great Western Railway in the United States," Einstein couldn't help but sigh. "I have to say that Russia is a great nation."
Zhou Hexuan pointed to the ice and snow outside and said without saltiness: "When the Siberian section of this railway was being built, Russia recruited hundreds of thousands of workers in Shandong, Henan and Northeast China. The bridges in the eastern section of the Siberian Railway and
Most of the tunnel projects are completed by Chinese workers. Whether it is the Great Western Railway or the Siberian Railway, the blood of the Chinese is flowing on every sleeper."
Einstein was surprised at first, then became silent and said slowly: "Perhaps, I should know more about everything about China."
As an architect, Corbusier couldn't help but comment after hearing what Zhou Hexuan said: "Chinese workers are the best workers in the world. Whether in Russia, the United States, or France, their
The performance is all so outstanding. Perhaps this kind of craftsmanship has always flowed in the blood of the nation, which is why there is the Great Wall."
Li Shizeng didn’t know what to say. Chinese workers built the Great Western Railway in the United States and the Trans-Siberian Railway in Russia. The most difficult sections of the two most majestic railways in the world today were built by Chinese workers, and China itself
There are very few railways.
When will Chinese workers be able to build a world-class railway belonging to China?
Li Shi once felt at a loss, and the aggrievedness in his heart was indescribable.
Zhou Hexuan looked at the glaciers and snowfields in the distance, and Han Hong's song "Heavenly Road" vaguely sounded in his ears.
The terminus of the Siberian Railway is Vladivostok, which was a land belonging to China in the late Qing Dynasty. Now it has become the largest port in the Far East of the Soviet Union, "Vladivostok", which means "Eastern Town".
Even leaving aside Vladivostok, the Siberian Railway at this time also passed through China, passing through Harbin in a big way.
The train stopped at Harbin Station, and everyone got off the train and transferred to the branch railway, passing through Changchun and heading to Shenyang.
This branch line of the Siberian Railway was completed and opened to traffic in 1903. It was called the "Eastern Qing Railway" at the time. As a special envoy of the Qing Dynasty, Li Hongzhang went to Moscow to congratulate Tsar Nicholas II on his coronation, but was forced by the Russians to sign the "China-Russia Railway".
Secret Treaty" and the decision to build this "Eastern Qing Railway" was essentially strengthening Tsarist Russia's control over Northeast China.
The Dongqing Railway was called the Middle East Road during the Republic of China! (Starting point is Harbin, ending point is Dalian)
The impact of the Middle East Railway Incident has disappeared. At Changchun Station, Zhou Hexuan and others saw countless Soviet railway employees working in an orderly manner. There were only bomb craters that appeared from time to time in the wild and buildings that had not been repaired after being bombed.
It reminds people that a war just broke out here.
Shenyang Railway Station.
"Woooooo~"
The train whistle sounded, and the dark steel giant slowly stopped. Zhou Hexuan stood up and said to Einstein and Corbusier: "Two gentlemen, please, welcome to Shenyang, China!"
"Please!" Corbusier asked Einstein to step forward.
Einstein walked at the front without hesitation. When he got off the bus, crazy shouts suddenly broke out outside the platform.
As Zhang Xueliang's representative, Feng Yong led celebrities from all walks of life in Shenyang, as well as students and reporters who came spontaneously, and had been waiting at the station for a long time.
Einstein smiled and waved to everyone, saying in simple Chinese he just learned from Zhou Hexuan: "Thank you, I'm tired of it!"
"boom!"
Hearing Einstein speak Chinese, the station became more lively. The excited students pushed forward desperately, knocking over the policemen who were maintaining order.
After finally calming down the mood of the scene, Feng Yong came forward with dignitaries and celebrities, shook hands with Einstein and said: "Hello, Mr. Einstein!"
"Hello," Einstein joked, "your English is better than my Chinese."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
This little bit of humor made the audience burst into laughter.
Zhou Hexuan stepped forward and introduced: "This is Mr. Feng Yong, he is the founder of a free private university."
"Free private college?" Einstein said in surprise, "That's incredible."
Zhou Hexuan smiled and said: "Mr. Feng Yong sold all the inheritance left by his father in order to found a university."
Einstein held Feng Yong's hand and said, "Mr. Feng, you are a respectable gentleman."
"Thank you for the compliment, I don't take it seriously." Feng Yong said humbly.
Zhou Hexuan was afraid of neglecting Corbusier, so he quickly introduced: "Fifth brother, this is Mr. Corbusier, the top designer in Europe."
Feng Yong immediately stepped forward to shake hands: "Hello, Mr. Corbusier!"
"Hello, young Mr. Principal, nice to meet you." Corbusier smiled.
Afterwards, Feng Yong introduced several dignitaries and celebrities in Shenyang, and everyone gathered around Einstein to leave the station. Einstein became the center of attention, not to mention Le Corbusier, and even Zhou Hexuan became a foil.
A reporter from Shenyang's "Shenzhen" stopped everyone and shouted: "Wait a minute, let's take a group photo first!"
Feng Yong followed the good advice and said to the two foreigners: "Mr. Einstein, Mr. Corbusier, please!"
Einstein and Le Corbusier stood in the middle, with Zhou Hexuan and Feng Yong standing on both sides of them. Outside and behind, there were many celebrities and dignitaries from Shenyang.
"Everyone, watch the camera, Eggplant!"
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
Corbusier was very gentlemanly when taking pictures, with a serious and meticulous expression. Einstein was much more naughty. The moment the reporter pressed the shutter, he suddenly tilted his head, stuck out his tongue, and widened his eyes like a puppy.
Zhou Hexuan obviously noticed Einstein's behavior and looked at the scientist sideways, with a somewhat "funny" expression on his face.
This photo was widely circulated in later generations. Some netizens joked: "The painting style of the entire photo is divided into two parts along the midline. Feng Yong and Corbusier on the left are too serious, as if they were taking ID photos." Zhou Hexuan and Einstein on the right no longer belong to the category of taking photos. They are obviously fighting over emojis. One is 'funny' and the other is 'funny'. Both of them deserve a beating."
