Chapter 55 Panfilov 28 Warriors Memorial Park
Xu Changming took Zhou Sen to the Panfilov 28 Warriors Memorial Park.
Panfilov 28 Warriors Memorial Park is located in Almaty City Gogol Street, covers an area of 18 hectares, the park is luxuriant, the scenery is beautiful, there are everlasting flames, glorious monuments, officers' homes and other buildings, was built in the seventies of the twentieth century, in order to commemorate the defense of Moscow in the defense of Moscow repelled the German tank attack, the former Soviet Army 316 Panfilov Guards Infantry Division 1075 Regiment of the 28 warriors.
Zhou Sen said: "Teacher Xu, please tell us the story of these heroes!"
Xu Changming stood in front of the sculpture of 28 warriors, very emotional.
"Although the smoke of war has gone away, whenever I pass by here, I will still come to take a look, in the long river of civilization of human society, there have been one war scene after another, World War II, Germany's invasion of other countries, has indeed brought great harm to the people of the world. ”
"There have indeed been so many real wars in history, these soldiers exchanged their blood and lives for peace, drove the invaders out, and in order to occupy the colonies of other countries, Germany *** launched a war of aggression. ”
This is a famous story in World War II, 28 soldiers of the Panfilov Infantry Division of the Soviet Army, on the road to Moscow, eliminated 18 German tanks, stopped the German army's advance, 28 brave soldiers stopped the German tanks and died heroically, going down in history as Panfilov-style heroes. ”
"Looking at their statues, I can still imagine how difficult the anti-aggression war was fought back then, in the face of the frantic attack of the German army, these Soviet soldiers used their heroic feats, sacrificed themselves, but defeated the enemy. ”
"At that time, the Soviet army was indeed very heroic, and the soldiers endured hardships and stood hard work, and there was a tenacious spirit that persevered until the end of the battle. ”
Coming out of the Panfilov 28 Warriors Memorial Park, Xu Changming took Zhou Sen to climb a higher mountain to overlook the city of Almaty, because it is in the earthquake zone, so the whole city does not have too many high-rise buildings, compared with China's first-line high-rise buildings, it seems to be much behind, at sunset, looking at the sun that is about to sink in the west gradually dyed the sky into a bright red, with the red sun falling in the west, the city lights gradually lit up in the afterglow of the sunset.
Xu Changming said: "Compared with other big cities, although the night scene of Almaty is not particularly dazzling, the whole city is wide and boundless, and the night is still charming after being lit up." ”
"Yes, although the city has fewer modern high-rise buildings and a slightly outdated setting, it still has its own unique charm. ”
Xu Changming said: "With the continuous development of Almaty city, more land resources are needed, but Almaty is limited by its original topography, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the vast desert terrain in the north, so the development space will be relatively limited." ”
"At the same time, with the expansion of the scale of the city, environmental problems are also very prominent, due to the terrain limitations, industrial production and automobiles and other harmful gases are not easy to diffuse, easy to cause local air pollution, you see there gray patch, they also have haze. ”
Zhou Sen lamented: "Yes, protecting the environment is a task for the whole world, and it requires the cooperation of many countries. ”
"Coupled with the fact that Almaty is located in the hilly area in front of the Alai Mountains at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, this area has a strong vertical differential movement of the earth's crust and is prone to mudslides and earthquakes," Xu said. ”
"Since the 19th century, Almaty has had more than four strong earthquakes of magnitude 7.7 or higher, and in 1911, a strong earthquake with a magnitude of 8.4 occurred south of Almaty and north of Lake Issyk-Kul, destroying almost the entire city of Almaty. ”
"Although there have not been major earthquakes recently, the crust in this area is very active, which is very unsafe for a country's capital. ”
"Large-scale mudslides caused by rainfall and meltwater from nearby mountains are reported several times a year, and there are many small-scale mudslides. ”
"Due to the influence of many factors such as topography, environment, and natural disasters, moving the capital of Almaty may be a better choice for the sake of urban development and social stability. ”
"There are other reasons why Central Asia was conquered during the Russian period, whether it was during the Russian Empire or later during the Soviet Union, Russia carried out large-scale migration activities, that is, to increase the Russian population in this region by moving ethnic Russians from other regions to Central Asia. ”
"Coupled with other complicated reasons, moving the capital from Almaty to Astana is a better option. ”
Zhou Sen said: "For our Chinese audience, the name of Astana is even more unfamiliar. ”
Xu Changming nodded, "Yes, let me introduce this city, Astana was originally Akmola, the capital of Akmola Oblast in Kazakhstan, located in the semi-desert steppe of north-central Kazakhstan, with the Ishim River running through the city. ”
"The disadvantage of this city is that the winter is particularly cold, more than ordinary people can bear, the minimum temperature in winter can reach minus 40 °C, but it also has its advantages, here is a vast area, sufficient water, is the country's transportation hub, less than 1,000 kilometers from Almaty, from the three northern regions of Kazakhstan are within 500 kilometers, and there is already the original city as a basis, there is no need to completely build a new city, then the cost of urban construction is also greatly reduced. ”
"So moving the capital here is a better choice, moving the capital has changed the demographic structure of the northern part of Kazakhstan, and with the large number of Kazakhs moving into Astana, the city has become predominantly Kazakh. ”
"At the same time, together with other measures taken by Kazakhstan, the proportion of the Kazakh population is increasing even in the three northern oblasts, which plays a very important role in strengthening the control of the northern territories. ”
"Including the Atyrau Refinery Petroleum Deep Processing Project, Almaty Tempered Glass Plant, 100,000 tons of large-diameter spiral welded steel pipes and other projects, these projects have filled the gaps in Kazakhstan's electrolytic aluminum, copper mining, high-end oil products, special cement and other industries, promoted the industrialization process of Kazakhstan, and provided many jobs and promoted the local development of Kazakhstan. ”
"Kazakhstan is also an important object of cooperation in China's construction of the Silk Road Economic Belt, the two sides have cooperated in the fields of economy, trade, energy, transportation, finance, etc., especially in the border areas to open enterprises, mutual investment, production and economic and trade activities, Kazakhstan and China cooperation is also conducive to maintaining the healthy economic development of the two countries, and at the same time drive the export of China's superior production capacity, equipment, technology and standards, and establish a good image of Chinese enterprises. ”
