Essay about Zhangjiakou Railway Park 600

Standing in front of the bronze statue of Zhan Tianyou, my heart suddenly surged. It took so many ups and downs to become the great man of the generation in front of me. Standing in front of the bronze statue of Zhan Tianyou, I seem to see your serious look, hear your words of encouragement to people, and feel your deep patriotism, an everlasting heart. Grandpa Zhan Tianyou, do you still remember the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway? Back then, you ignored the ridicule and accepted the proud and arduous task of building the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway in full view of the public. You must have known at that time that the road to building the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway would have to pass through many high mountains, deep ravines, and cliffs, which even foreign engineers would be daunted by. However, you still accepted the task resolutely and without hesitation. I know that you must have suffered a lot when you were building the railway. To resist natural disasters and to overcome the difficulties of building railways in high mountains, there are many more besides these two. You continued to work under such harsh conditions. Wherever mountains need to be opened, where bridges need to be built, where steep slopes need to be leveled, and wherever the slope needs to be reduced, you can only draw conclusions after meticulous and precise calculations. This shows how serious and responsible you are for your work! As expected, thanks to your clever construction, the entire Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway was completed two years ahead of schedule. You used your ingenuity to overcome the high terrain and thick rock formations of Juyongguan, and you overcame Badaling, which is three times as long as Juyongguan. You also used your ingenuity to design a "herringbone" shaped line to make the train faster and more convenient. Standing in front of the bronze statue of Zhan Tianyou, I can't help but have a lot of thoughts. At this moment, I feel that Grandpa Zhan Tianyou is the pride of our whole China. My blood boiled, and I decided that when I grow up, I will contribute my strength to the motherland and make it more prosperous and stronger. Standing in front of the bronze statue of Zhan Tianyou, I thought about the story my father told me when I was learning to speak: Zhan Tianyou, an outstanding patriotic engineer, shocked his teacher with his superhuman intelligence since he was a child. At the age of 17, he was admitted to Yale University in the United States. In school, his classmates laughed at him because he was Chinese. He vowed to study hard and use his knowledge to build the motherland in the future. He studied railway engineering and civil engineering diligently every day, and he was also studying while other students were playing. A foreign classmate laughed at him and said contemptuously: "You don't need to learn it. China doesn't know how to use high-tech transportation. Once, the British helped China build a railway, but the Chinese emperor said it was a monster and sent People were thrown into the river." After saying that, the students next to him burst into laughter. Zhan Tianyou ignored them and continued studying. In 1881, Zhan Tianyou returned to China. In 1905, the Qing government appointed Zhan Tianyou as the chief engineer to build the Beijing-Zhangjiakou railway, and stated that if the construction could not be completed within six years, there would be no need to repair it. But Zhan Tianyou is not afraid of hardship or tiredness. No matter day or night, Zhan Tianyou always insists on working. But outside the fortress, the wind is often howling, and the sky is filled with yellow sand. There is a danger of falling into a deep valley if you are not careful. Faced with all difficulties, Zhan Tianyou did not flinch. What he was thinking was: the quality and speed of the construction of the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway are directly related to the reputation of the country and the people. If it is not repaired well, the conspiracy of the imperialist countries to laugh at the Chinese people will be If it succeeds, Chinese engineers will also lose confidence; if it is repaired, it will not only retaliate against the contempt of imperialism, but also improve the self-confidence of the Chinese people, especially Chinese engineers. right! I cannot retreat despite difficulties, but should move forward courageously. In this way, with Zhan Tianyou's hard work and the cooperation of his employees, the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway was completed in less than four years. However, Zhan Tianyou became ill due to overwork and died unfortunately in 1919 at the age of 58. Although Zhan Tianyou is no longer alive, his achievements will not disappear because of his departure. His spirit will always be an example for Chinese people to learn from. Standing in front of the bronze statue of Zhan Tianyou, I thought about the stories my father told me while I was babbling. At that time, I was young and ignorant, but now, I understand - don't laugh at seemingly absurd ideas, this is often the fuse of creative thinking. Remember to add points!
