Who has information about Zhan Tianyou?

Zhan Tianyou is an outstanding patriotic engineer in our country... The railway from Beijing to Zhangjiakou is 200 kilometers long and is an important transportation artery connecting North China and Northwest China. At that time, as soon as the Qing government proposed the construction plan, some imperialist countries came out to obstruct it. They all wanted to compete for the right to build this railway and wanted to further control the northern part of our country. The imperialists refused to give in to anyone, and the matter went on for a long time without being resolved. They finally put forward a condition: if the Qing government used its own engineers to build railways, they would no longer interfere. They thought that with such threats, the railway construction would not start, and they would have to ask for help in the end. The imperialists were completely wrong. China already had its own engineers at that time, and Zhan Tianyou was one of them...

About ten years after reading that text, I went to the road in Beijing. The famous herringbone mountaineering railway near Qinglong Bridge on the Zhang Line. The train specially stopped there for a while for tourists to visit and pay homage to the bronze statue of Zhan Tianyou...

Another thirty years later, today I finally arrived. Former Residence of Zhan Tianyou.

The former residence is located on the north side of Di'anmen East Street east of Shichahai. Walking past the fake antique street "Ping'an Avenue" just built a few years ago and entering north, you will immediately see a ruins in front of you. These scenes are common in Beijing in recent years. In addition to Qianmenwai Street, which was demolished on the largest scale, there are many other places like this. And the reason why I was able to discover the hidden former residence of Zhan Tianyou was entirely by chance. When I discovered the dilapidated walls that could be seen behind the fake antiques on the street, I was attracted to get closer.

I met an old lady and asked her whose former residence this was. The old lady told me it was the "pavilion" of Zhan Tianyou's house. I wonder why it is a "pavilion" and not the former residence? The old lady told me that they have been thinking this way for over fifty years.

I walked closer, but it was difficult to find the entrance. The old lady told me there was no entrance. The only accessible passage was the door of a certain resident's house. Later I found out that the door of that certain resident's house was the entrance to the "pavilion". I hesitated again and again and rashly pressed the doorbell of that house. The person who opened the door was an old man who spoke Shandong accent and Beijing dialect. The old man was unexpectedly enthusiastic. He took me to see the "pavilion".

"We all call it a pavilion, because calling it a house is a bit too much. It's not big, and it looks more like the roof of a pavilion from the outside."

From "Pavilion" "I saw several children's faces on the window glass, looking at me curiously. The uncle said, "There are so many people coming to take pictures, and I'm not bothered. Who calls Zhan Tianyou a celebrity?"

"Then why did you live in his former residence?" I asked.

"Who knows about this? Are there many such things in our country? I have lived here for more than fifty years. No one from the public has ever come to ask. It would be fine if I asked, but look, In this way, the government will not care about the homes of famous people!"

My uncle and I went to the alley and looked around. The pavilion was surrounded by private houses and there was no entrance at all. An old lady walked out of her house after hearing the sound and hurriedly ran over to us and asked: "Is it a reporter? Is it a reporter?" Before I could explain, she shouted again: "Look at this glass, look at this glass, it's all done by bandits." It was smashed..."

I immediately understood what happened here, it must be a demolition conflict. I explained that I was not a reporter, I was just a traveler.

"What's so good about this place? The government won't be able to remember it for fifty years. If it had thought about it, Mao should have renovated it by then." The old lady mumbled as she walked home. , I took pictures of the house with smashed glass [see the following pictures]. I asked the uncle: "Do you know who Zhan Tianyou is?"

The uncle said: "Yes, he builds railways." The uncle was right, but I don't think he necessarily knows this man who builds railways. He is known as a patriotic engineer, and his honor comes from building railways.

"I heard that he was killed, right?" the uncle asked me.

I was confused for a moment, as there is no historical record of this.

Jeme Tien Yow (April 26, 1861 – April 24, 1919), courtesy name Juancheng, was a native of Nanhai, Guangdong, and his ancestral home was Wuyuan, Jiangxi. He was China’s first railway engineer and was responsible for the construction of He has built the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway and other projects, and is known as the "Father of China's Railways" and "The Father of China's Modern Engineering".

Zhan Tianyou has been engaged in the railway industry for more than 30 years, and was related to varying degrees with almost every railway in my country at that time. In his later years, he became ill due to overwork and unfortunately died of illness in 1919. Comrade Zhou Enlai once spoke highly of Zhan Tianyou's achievements and said that he is "the glory of the Chinese people".

In April 1919, Zhan Tianyou returned to Hankou for recuperation due to illness. He died of illness on April 24 at the age of fifty-nine. Zhan Tianyou and his wife Tan Juzhen are buried together near the Qinglongqiao Railway Station on the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway. In 1922, a bronze statue of Zhan Tianyou was erected at Qinglongqiao Railway Station. In 1987, the Zhan Tianyou Memorial Hall was built nearby.

The weather was gloomy. I tried my best to adjust the amount of light entering the camera and took several precious photos. I knew they would no longer be around in the future. In the car returning home, I looked back at the photos of the "pavilion" of Zhan Tianyou's former residence. Some questions lingered in my mind. What I didn't understand was that a great country could not repair the pavilion of a scientist who made great contributions to the motherland after half a century. Former residence, but what we future generations see is just the "square-shaped hole" faces of some real estate developers. No wonder walking out of the alley, all you hear are the complaints of the people. Judging from the high-sounding slogans painted on the walls in the photos, we can see how fierce battles for land once took place here. And while these people in society are performing scenes of dramas of wars of interest, the descendants of the motherland are still innocently reading the elementary school text called "Zhan Tianyou" in the classroom - Zhan Tianyou is an outstanding patriotic engineer in our country. ...The Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway gave a powerful counterattack to the imperialists who despised China.

Today, we took the train to Badaling. When we passed Qinglongqiao Station, we could see a bronze statue, that is the statue of Zhan Tianyou...
