"With densely covered railways, high-speed railways are running at full speed, and the natural moat has become a thoroughfare." this is the railway reform that general secretary xi jinping said at the 40th anniversary conference of the reform and opening up, which is not only a recognition of railway development, but also a kind of encouragement.

Railway has always been the "lifeline" of China's transportation, bearing the major task of national transportation. Over the past 40 years of reform and opening up, the development of railway has fulfilled its mission. The rapid development of railways has proved to the world that the great China has taken off.

After 40 years of reform and opening up, China's trains have changed dramatically. From the first beijing-tianjin high-speed railway in 2008, to the "fuxing" now flying everywhere; From the first electrification of the guangzhou-shenzhen railway in 1998, China's railway network has grown to the present 25,000 kilometers of "four vertical and four horizontal" maximum high-speed rail network. From smoking antique trains made in China to the present profuse praise at home and abroad. Even Russian President vladimir putin, who has just come to China to experience high-speed rail, said this. "" there is a romantic feeling about taking the train.

Forty years after reform and opening up, China's high-speed railway has changed dramatically. Since the 40th anniversary of reform and opening up, the construction of high-speed rail network has been amazing. 468.1 km of the fastest beijing-shanghai high-speed railway, 2,298 km of the world's longest beijing-guangzhou high-speed railway, the world's first high cold railway, through the snow and ice haida high-speed railway, climb the snow mountain, across the grass, the gobi cross the omnipresent lanxin high-speed railway. The 25,000 km high-speed rail network is like the "artery" of the great motherland, connecting 56 ethnic groups and more than 100 cities. At present, China's high-speed railway accounts for about 60% of the world's total. More than 4,500 high-speed trains are running every day, with a total of 6 billion passengers traveling from Beijing to Shanghai in 4 hours, and from Beijing to guangzhou in 8 hours. As the first of the "four great inventions" in modern China, the beautiful name card of high-speed railway has gone to the world and become an international "favorite".

After 40 years of reform and opening up, railway services have changed dramatically. Online booking, independent ticket collection, free seat selection, face to enter the station, high-speed rail wireless, intelligent ordering. From "hello, welcome to ride" to "welcome to ride next time", you will not only feel the warmth of home, but also the improvement of people's happiness. A satisfied nod from the passenger is a great encouragement to the railway service.

The breakthrough of China's railway again and again, the smiling faces of the Chinese people again and again, and the take-off of China's economy again and again, all thanks to this short period of 40 years. These 40 years have been an extraordinary 40 years for a nation to forge ahead and a generation of railway workers to work hard. With the development of "One Belt And One Road" at will, China's high-speed railway has gone to the world, adding luster to China's future development.
