On the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Laos, two trains crossed mountains and rivers and came towards each other.

As one of the landmark projects of the "Belt and Road" joint construction, the China-Laos Railway, which was completed and opened to traffic in 5 years, has made Kunming to Vientiane Mountain no longer high and the road is no longer long, and it has also made Laos a "land-locked country", which was once mountainous and lacking roads. , directly into the era of modern transportation.

　　On the first train of the China-Laos Railway, there were a group of children from the China-Laos Friendship Nongbing Village Primary School.

The children were very excited about taking the train for the first time.

The young passenger Pan Piwan said that what impressed her most was the high speed of the train, as well as the large soft sofas, clean toilets and large luggage racks on the train, just like the future world that Laos has always dreamed of.

　　In Laos, this is a veritable "Internet celebrity railway".

Working on the railway has become a "new occupation" dreamed by many young Laotians.

　　Groups of Laotian youth walked out of the mountains to learn advanced railway technology and knowledge. Under the "hands-on" teaching of Chinese masters, they gradually grew into the first generation of railway craftsmen and train drivers in Laos.

　　China's "One Belt, One Road" initiative connects Laos' dream of a "land-linked country".

"Land-linked country" is a term coined by the Lao people, which means to become a transportation hub for all countries on land.

This intriguing term has even been written into Laos' national strategy, which shows this landlocked country's desire to break the shackles of mountains and embark on the road of development and prosperity.

　　The China-Laos Railway runs from north to south, like a key, opening a development and cooperation road in the hinterland of the Indo-China Peninsula that radiates to Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia and other countries.

This golden artery connecting China and ASEAN countries has handed over a "transcript" with a total value of tens of billions of international freight in just 9 months.

　　Carrying friendship and dreams, sharing opportunities and prosperity, the "Belt and Road" initiative has changed from a vision to a reality in the nine years since it was put forward, and has become a popular international public product and international cooperation platform. Missed Train".
