Riding the east wind of the "two sessions", China Railway will set sail again in 2022.

China Li Keqiang, Premier of the State Council of the People's Republic of China said in his government work report to the Fifth Session of the 13th National People's Congress on the 5th that effective investment should be actively expanded. Focusing on the country's major strategic deployment and the "14 th Five-Year Plan", infrastructure investment will be moderately ahead of schedule. (China news agency, Beijing, March 5 th)

People are diligent and early in spring, and forging ahead is at the right time. In the first year of the 14th Five-Year Plan, China Railway has played a prelude to struggle, outlined a grand blueprint for railway development, and pushed the railway to a new peak. According to the data, in 20021year, the number of railway passengers sent nationwide was 2.533 billion, an increase of 366 million over the previous year, with an increase of 16.9%, and the total freight volume was 3.726 billion tons, an increase of 145 billion tons over the previous year, with an increase of 4.0%. The national railway investment in fixed assets was 748.9 billion yuan, and 4,208 kilometers of new lines were put into operation, including 2 168 kilometers of high-speed railway. The scale of the road network has been gradually improved, with the national railway operating mileage of10.5 million kilometers, including 40,000 kilometers of high-speed rail. China Railway delivered a perfect answer sheet to the country with practical actions and fulfilled its promise at the beginning of the year to the people.

Riding the spring breeze of the "two sessions", China Railway will set sail again in 2022. Driven by innovation, we will promote the high-quality development of railways and add impetus to the national economy. As the saying goes, "the avenue is universal and all industries are prosperous." As the main artery of national economic development, railway bears the great mission of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. The opening of a line can often lead to the rise of the city. At this year's "two sessions", People's Republic of China (PRC) Li Keqiang, Premier of the State Council of the People's Republic of China pointed out that this year will enhance the ability of scientific and technological innovation. Implement the ten-year plan for basic research and strengthen long-term stable support. In recent years, China Railway Corporation has unswervingly taken the road of independent innovation, and built a railway scientific and technological innovation system with enterprises as the main body, extensive participation of scientific research institutes and universities, close integration of Industry-University-Research and collaborative innovation. With the continuous improvement of railway innovation system, China railway will provide more powerful kinetic energy for national economic development in the future.

Take the mission as our own responsibility, speed up railway construction and help get rid of poverty. As the saying goes, "if you want to get rich, build roads first." Since the reform and opening up, China's economy has made remarkable achievements and people's living standards have been continuously improved. However, the economic development is unbalanced, and the economy in many areas is still very backward. There is a long way to go to get rid of poverty. By increasing investment in infrastructure construction in poor and backward areas, we will run a "public welfare slow train" to connect poor and backward areas with economically developed areas, so that local people can walk out of the mountains, find a way out of poverty and gradually get rid of poverty. China Railway has been practicing the purpose and mission of serving the people, only to win the battle against poverty at an early date and realize the goal of "enriching the country and strengthening the people".

Gather together to speed up the construction of transnational railways and cheer for the construction of the "Belt and Road". In 20021year, China-Laos Railway was opened, and projects such as Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway, Hungarian railway and Sino-Thai railway were steadily advanced. In 20021year, the cargo delivery volume of Chongqing-New Europe and China-Europe trains increased steadily, which provided powerful kinetic energy for the economic development of countries around the world in the post-epidemic era. It has provided a strong support for China to build a new pattern of all-round opening, deeply integrate into the world economic system, and create the same interests and shared responsibilities of political mutual trust, economic integration and cultural tolerance.

Xiongguan road is as iron as iron, and now it is still one step away from the beginning. 202 1 China Railway has written a wonderful chapter. In 2022, China Railway set sail again on the "East Wind" of the "two sessions", telling another wonderful and unique railway story for the country and people. (Weng Peize)
