CHINA-XINHAI REVOLUTION-WUHAN-DEVELOPMENT (CN)
(110927) -- WUHAN, Sept. 27, 2011 (Xinhua) -- File photo taken on July 1, 2010 shows bullet trains serving for the Wuhan-Guangzhou high speed railway, at Wuhan Railway Station in Wuhan, capital of central China's Hubei Province.
Located at the east of the Jianghan Plain, and the intersection of the middle reaches of the Yangtze River and Han River, Wuhan is a metropolis in central China, arising out of the conglomeration of three towns of Wuchang, Hanyang and Hankou.
Over the past 100 years since the Wuchang Uprising which marks the beginning of the Xinhai Revolution, Wuhan has forged ahead greatly both in social progress and economic increase.
In early 1900s, Sun Yat-sen, China's great revolutionary forerunner who led the Xinhai Revolution, finished his book "The International Development of China", in which he tried to shape an outlook of Wuhan. Many of his ideas have come true today.
"This point (Wuhan) is the headwater of our projected ocean passage, the pivot of the railway system of China Proper, and will become the most important commercial metropolis in the country." said Sun in his book. "So in planning the future city of Wuhan we must adopt for its development a scale as the large as that of New York or London." Sun added.
In the regulation of the embankments along Yangtze River, Sun drew up a plan to reclaim the front of Hankou from the jetty of Longwangmiao at the junction of the Han River right along the left bank to the point where the Yangtze turned eastward.
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, the project of flood control on Yangtze River was on top agenda for Chinese leaders, and large scale investment were continuously arranged for the project in order to make the city get rid of flood threat. Nowadays, the water regulation project in Longwangmiao is a remarkable scenery spot in Wuhan.
During the past, few foreign merchants were willing to invest in Hankou due to the frequent floods. But now, more and more skyscrap

In the corridor of the second floor of Dr. Sun Yat-sen's Former Residence in Shanghai, a color printed "Railway Map of China" is presented inconspicuously. The red real lines on the map were railway layout established by Sun himself, who was the great revolutionary forerunner leading the Xinhai Revolution of 1911 in China. He made a detailed design to provide the country with a comprehensive and unified system of national railways which was magnificent and farsighted.
Railways have a history with more than 130 years in China. From the year of 1876, English traders built the Shanghai-Wusong Railway, about 15 kilometers in length, to the year of 1949, there were about 21,800 kilometers railways in China. Because of wars, only 11,000-kilometer-long lines can be used. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, through rushing to repair, those railways had been open to traffic by the end of 1950.
In the following several decades, Chinese railway construction has made great progress. In 1952, a railway line between Chengdu and Chongqing, two important cities in southwest China, was completed. It's the first railway line to be built in the history of the People's Republic of China. The Chengdu-Kunming Railway, meandering through the mountainous area in the southwest of Sichuan Province and north of Yunnan Province, started to operation in 1970. The total length of railway lines in China had increased to 48,600 kilometers until 1978.
The policy of reform and opening-up sped up the modernization of Chinese railway systems. In the autumn of 1996, the Beijing-Kowloon Railway Line went into full operation.

In the corridor of the second floor of Dr. Sun Yat-sen's Former Residence in Shanghai, a color printed "Railway Map of China" is presented inconspicuously. The red real lines on the map were railway layout established by Sun himself, who was the great revolutionary forerunner leading the Xinhai Revolution of 1911 in China. He made a detailed design to provide the country with a comprehensive and unified system of national railways which was magnificent and farsighted.
Railways have a history with more than 130 years in China. From the year of 1876, English traders built the Shanghai-Wusong Railway, about 15 kilometers in length, to the year of 1949, there were about 21,800 kilometers railways in China. Because of wars, only 11,000-kilometer-long lines can be used. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, through rushing to repair, those railways had been open to traffic by the end of 1950.
In the following several decades, Chinese railway construction has made great progress. In 1952, a railway line between Chengdu and Chongqing, two important cities in southwest China, was completed. It's the first railway line to be built in the history of the People's Republic of China. The Chengdu-Kunming Railway, meandering through the mountainous area in the southwest of Sichuan Province and north of Yunnan Province, started to operation in 1970. The total length of railway lines in China had increased to 48,600 kilometers until 1978.
The policy of reform and opening-up sped up the modernization of Chinese railway systems. In the autumn of 1996, the Beijing-Kowloon Railway Line went into full operation. The 2,553-km railway line is the longest in one-time length, running through 9 provinces and municipalities in the inland area before connecting with the railway line in south China's Hong Kong. It

Under the new operation chart carried out to slow down bullet trains since Aug. 16, the transportation capability of China's Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway is likely to fall in short term, following the recall of 54 bullet trains used on the railway over safety concerns. The drop of high-speed train capability is expected to make airlines surge in Q3 on domestic demand, analyst said.
