Mobile China is vibrant (sustainable development of China's transportation)
Recently, the Ganzhou-Shenzhen high-speed rail joint commissioning test is in full swing.
"After the opening of the high-speed rail, driven by the strong radiation of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, the old revolutionary base in southern Jiangxi will usher in new opportunities for development." Zhang Handong, chief engineer of the Jiangxi section of the Jiangxi-Shenzhen high-speed rail and Changjiu Intercity Railway Company, is very proud.
The Ganshen high-speed rail with a total length of 436.37 kilometers has a design speed of 350 kilometers per hour.
It is expected that after the opening of the railway at the end of this year, the travel time of the railway between Gansu and Shenzhen will be shortened from 7 hours to 2 hours.
The Ganshen high-speed railway is the epitome of the rapid development of China's railways.
More than 70 years after the founding of the People’s Republic of China, China has woven the world’s most modern railway network and the most developed high-speed railway network, making the mobile China alive and well.
The road network extends in all directions, and the high-speed rail mileage ranks first in the world.
At the beginning of the founding of New China, my country's railway operating mileage was only 22,000 kilometers.
For more than 70 years, railway construction has moved forward, and the quality of the road network has been continuously improved.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the "eight vertical and eight horizontal" high-speed railway network has changed from drawing to reality. The operating mileage of 146,000 kilometers, of which the high-speed rail operating mileage is 38,000 kilometers, an increase of nearly five times compared with the end of the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period, accounting for more than 2/3 of the world's high-speed rail operating mileage.
The traffic volume has increased year by year, and railway trains have become the "national name card".
"After the high-speed rail is connected, it's so convenient!" Yu Ruiqin, a tourist, lives in Beijing all year round, but his brothers and sisters are in Zhangjiakou. "
Since the founding of New China, my country has independently built the world's highest plateau railway, the world's heaviest heavy-duty railway, and the world's fastest-operating intelligent railway.
The shortest departure interval of the "Fuxing" with completely independent intellectual property rights is about 3 minutes.
In 2020, my country’s railway passenger volume was 2.203 billion person-times, and the passenger turnover volume was 826.619 billion person-kilometers, which were 21 times and 64 times that of the beginning of the founding of New China. The total volume of freight delivered by railways was 4.552 billion tons, which was the beginning of the founding of New China. 81 times.
Promote regional development and be the locomotive of high-quality development.
Xinnan Village, Luanchuan County, Luoyang City, Henan Province, a railway town surrounded by mountains and rivers, the train-themed restaurant and bar attract people to stop.
Zhou Shengzhan, deputy magistrate of Luanchuan County, told reporters, “China Railway Group has helped us invest in the reconstruction of a number of farm hotels, and the pockets of the villagers are bulging!”
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the railway sector has given full play to the industry’s advantages and promoted poverty alleviation through construction. 109 counties have ended their history of no railway access and 198 counties have entered the era of high-speed rail; they have insisted on transporting poverty alleviation and 81 “slow trains” for public welfare.26 There is no price adjustment every year, 12 million people along the route are transported each year, and fresh agricultural products from the villagers are consigned for free.
Contribute to energy conservation and emission reduction, and contribute to the realization of the dual-carbon goal.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the railway energy structure has been continuously adjusted and optimized.
At present, the national railway electrification rate is about 75%, and the national railway fuel consumption has dropped from the peak of 5.83 million tons in 1985 to 2.31 million tons, a drop of 60%, which is equivalent to reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 12.56 million tons per year.
"The railway sector will intensify the structural reforms on the supply side, and make due contributions to winning the battle against pollution, especially the battle to defend the blue sky." said Lu Dongfu, chairman and party secretary of China Railway Group.
