This reminded her that before going abroad, she went to the Beijing National Museum to see exhibits from countries along the "Belt and Road", when Dean Zhang and Fang Yun went together, and Fang Yun still remembers it vividly.
The staff of the Beijing National Museum introduced to them: "The ancient Silk Road stretches for tens of thousands of miles, and has accumulated and formed the spirit of the Silk Road that transcends time and space, transcends national boundaries, is full of eternal charm and has contemporary value, that is, peace and cooperation, openness and inclusiveness, mutual learning and mutual benefit." ”
"We jointly hold this exhibition with museums in Cambodia, Japan, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Mongolia, Oman, Poland, South Korea, Romania, Russia, Slovenia, Tajikistan and other countries along the Belt and Road to demonstrate the rich and diverse cultural exchanges of countries along the Silk Road, including population migration, economic and trade exchanges, scientific and technological exchanges, religious transmission, and production and lifestyle. the mutual influence of culture and art, and so on. ”
Fang Yun's eyes widened, she had never seen such exquisite exhibits so closely, each exhibit was carefully selected by the museum staff, representing the history and national characteristics of different countries, and each cultural relic seemed to be able to speak, quietly telling their story there.
Among the exhibits of the countries along the land Silk Road are the leaf-shaped spearhead from the Russian State Historical Museum, the Chinese-style Iranian porcelain plate from the Warsaw National Museum in Poland, and the golden warrior from the National Museum of Kazakhstan;
Fang Yun is very happy to come to the Beijing National Museum, where you can see exquisite exhibits from many countries and learn about the history and culture of many countries along the route.
Fang Yun asked Dean Zhang, "Which country can I go to this time for an overseas investigation?"
Dean Zhang said: "According to the plan, Head Xia will take Qu Lihua and them to Russia, Zhou Sen will interview the countries and border cities around China's borders, and you can go to other countries along the route in Europe. ”
"Great, I've always wanted to go to Europe, I didn't have the opportunity before, but this time I finally have the opportunity to see it with my own eyes, learn about the history, culture and customs of other countries, and the domestic audience can increase their understanding of other countries through our lens, I believe it will be an unforgettable journey." ”
Dean Zhang smiled, "Divide into three groups first, Qu Lihua is responsible for contacting you, you can also keep in touch with Zhou Sen at any time, now that the mobile Internet is so advanced, the video of their interview can soon be sent to you through the network, everyone helps each other, if you have any difficulties, you can raise them with me, and I will provide you with support." ”
"Thank you, Dean Zhang!"
Nowadays, President Zhang's words are still echoing in the ears, so that the public can increase their understanding of the world, understand the overall pattern of the "Belt and Road", the strategic significance and the changes brought to every personal life, is a very meaningful thing, there is a long way to go, the delegation went to various countries, field trips, interviews and reports, shooting documentaries, and everyone worked together.
When it comes to Hungary, the Chinese have the impression that this is the hometown of the patriotic poet Pei Duofei, which is rich in wine, but this time Fang Yun came to Hungary for a field trip and interviewed Hungarian and Chinese cooperative enterprises, so that more Chinese can understand Hungary.
In today's era of globalization, the Eurasian continent is a whole, China is speeding up the pace of opening up to the west, Hungary pursues an open policy to the east, China and Hungary are one in the east and one in the west, and the "Belt and Road" will link China and Hungary more closely.
China-Hungary relations are developing well, Hungary is a cooperative partner that China attaches great importance to, and China-Hungary relations will usher in important development opportunities.
Fang Yun remembered that President Zhang said that Hungary was the first European country to join the "Belt and Road" and played a leading and pioneering role in the joint construction of the "Belt and Road".
China welcomes more European countries to "look east", strengthen mutually beneficial cooperation with China and other Asian countries, and participate in the construction of the "Belt and Road" in different forms.
Taking the opportunity of jointly building the Hungarian-Serbian railway, Hungary will become an important hub for Eurasian logistics, and Hungary will become an important bridge for Sino-European friendship by enhancing the high degree of mutual trust between the two countries.
When it comes to the Hungarian-Serbian Railway, Joseph is also very touched, he introduced to Fang Yun: "The Hungarian-Serbian Railway runs from Budapest, the capital of Hungary to Belgrade, the capital of Serbia, with a total length of 350 kilometers, including 166 kilometers in Hungary and 184 kilometers in Serbia. ”
"This project is an electrified mixed passenger and freight rapid railway, the addition of a second line of the existing single-track railway and the construction of a new double line in some sections, after modernization, the Hungarian railway will become a passenger and freight shared electrified two-track railway, with a design maximum speed of 200 kilometers per hour, and the journey between Budapest and Belgrade will be shortened from the current 8 hours to less than 3 hours. ”
Fang Yun said: "This is a landmark project of China-CEE cooperation, we are going to go over and interview, Mr. Joseph, you can take us with you!"
"Good!"
Fang Yun rushed over with Joseph and his wife, and when she saw this large-scale cooperation project, she was really amazed.
The winding railway stretches forward, with no end in sight, and the construction workers are wearing hard hats and are under construction, and Fang Yun finds Gao Wei, the engineering designer of the Chinese project, who is wearing a hard hat and his skin is tanned.
He greeted Fang Yun with a smile and briefly introduced himself: "I am from Shandong, I was assigned to participate in this project last year, and I came to Hungary. ”
"Okay, I'm sorry for you, Master Gao!"
"You're welcome, they're all Chinese!"
Gao Wei has a good temper, he has always had a kind smile on his face, he carefully sent the helmet to Fang Yun and the cameraman, Joseph and his wife also put on the helmet, changed into work clothes, and told them to follow him and not run around, Fang Yun nodded and agreed, before he could go in to visit.
Gao Wei walked and introduced to Fang Yun: "When it comes to our Chinese railway technology, as a Chinese designer, I am still very proud, our Chinese railway has the comprehensive advantages of advanced technology, good compatibility, safety and reliability, high cost performance, etc., and we and Hungary undertook the construction of the Hungarian-Serbian railway project, which once again reflects the recognition of the international community for China's railway technical strength and comprehensive advantages." ”
"Hungary, Serbia and most other Central and Eastern European countries are facing railways, highways, ports and other transportation facilities renovation problems, some facilities are relatively old, the old railway speed is too slow, it takes a long time to transport materials, if you want to develop the economy, it is necessary to build railways, unblock waterways, the development of aviation, China and Central and Eastern European countries to strengthen transportation infrastructure cooperation can not only help the transformation and upgrading of facilities in relevant countries, but also help accelerate the solution to the problem of overcapacity in China. ”
Joseph nodded, agreeing with Gao Wei's point of view.
"This is beneficial to both countries, I think China is really a country with great wisdom, and I still admire you as a big country in the East. ”
Gao Wei continued: "Since the Belt and Road Initiative was proposed, many countries have responded to carry out cooperation in many fields, which will not only effectively promote regional infrastructure construction and connectivity, improve the well-being of local people, and promote the process of European integration, but also help better align with the development strategy of China and the EU, deepen cooperation in key areas such as international production capacity and investment between China and the EU, and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results." ”
"As the flagship project of tripartite cooperation between China, Serbia and Hungary, the launch of the Hungarian-Serbian Railway marks a new and important step in the cooperation between China, Hungary and Hungary, and also shows that the pragmatic cooperation between China and Central and Eastern European countries stands at a new historical starting point. ”
"From a personal point of view, I am very happy to have the privilege to participate in this large-scale project, and I am very happy to see that from the beginning of the design and planning, the designers and project leaders of both sides discussed and worked together, and everyone worked together and worked together to make this project a good one, benefit the local people, strengthen unimpeded trade, improve infrastructure connectivity, and achieve common development and common prosperity, and I was very happy to see that the local people also supported this project. ”
Fang Yun asked: "Master Gao, what changes will be brought about when this railway is completed?"
Gao Wei said: "When the railway is completed, the transportation will become fast and convenient, and in the future, our Chinese materials can be sent to distant places through many countries and across regions, passing through Mongolia, Russia, Belarus, Poland, Hungary, Serbia and other countries, and transported to the destination, which is an epoch-making great feat. ”
"The Belt and Road Initiative, with its emphasis on connectivity, and the construction of railway facilities is one of the important projects, and this mega-project is beneficial for both sides. ”
"For China, the Hungarian-Serbian Railway and the China-Europe Land-Sea Express will open up a new and convenient channel for China's exports to Europe and European goods into China, and also give Chinese equipment and Chinese technology more opportunities to enter the European market. ”
"For the countries along the route and even for Europe as a whole, the construction of the China-Europe land-sea express line will play an important role in boosting the economy, promoting transportation facilitation and promoting personnel exchanges. ”
"This project will take a while, I may have to stay in Hungary for a long time, and if my family can see your show, I am here to say hello to them, and also to the national audience. ”
"Master Gao, you have worked hard!"
Gao Wei smiled, "As the builder of the Sino-Hungarian cooperation project, I am honored, I will work hard to make my contribution to our Chinese railway to the world, and through your program, on behalf of our railway construction workers, I will say hello to their families in China." ”
"Thank you, Master Gao!"
At the end of the interview, Fang Yun waved goodbye to Gao Wei, I don't know why, before leaving, Fang Yun's eyes were red, looking at these railway workers with the "Belt and Road" win-win cooperation, common development, common prosperity, and the mission of friendship to the world, all year round in a foreign country, away from their relatives.
Sometimes for a large-scale cooperation project, I go abroad for several years, I can't see my parents, wife and children, and designers and construction workers of different races and colors from other countries work together, eat and live together, hard work, they don't say anything, work hard, selfless dedication, unconsciously have wrinkles on the face, sideburns have gray hair, but from Master Gao's body, Fang Yun can feel his pride and pride in being a "Chinese railway man".
