章节摘录

版权页：插图：As early as 1919, the "father of modern China", Dr. Sun Yat-sen laid out in his NationalDevelopment Strategy Plans for a "Northwestern Railway", or "Plateau Railway", to be one ofseven major national railroads. In the 1940' s, the then nationalist government also dispatchedexploration teams to investigate the potential of a Gansu-Qinghai rail route （stretching fromnorthwestern Gansu Province to Tibet's neighboring QinghaiProvince）.   Shortly after Tibet's liberation, Chairman Mao Zedong puthigh priority on road construction in Tibet. In his telegraph toDeng Xiaoping （who, in the 1980's, became China's pre-emi-nent leader） and General Liu Bocheng, he instructed "road con-struction and army advancement should be taken as the first stepto Tibetan liberation."   In 1951, before Tibet's peaceful liberation, German mountaineerHeinrich Harrer, one of Dalai Lama's foreign mentors, left his pupilwith curious departing words, "From now on, mighty rays fromTian'anmen will illuminate the golden roofs of the Potala Palace. Com-munist flags will fly high along with rustling prayer flags. Tibet willhence stride into the line of advanced nations."   In April 1974, Premier Zhou Enlai appealed to leaders of the PLA railwayengineering corps declaring, "Border area representatives in the NationalPeople's Congress strongly call for railroad access. Please expedite theQinghai-Tibet railroad project."   In July 1994, President Jiang Zemin presided over the Third Tibet WorkSymposium, bringing forward the agenda of commencing preparative work for arailroad to Tibet.
