Zhan Tianyou (1861-1919) is an expert in modern railway engineering in China and the earliest engineer in China. If you are sincere, you will come from Wuyuan County, Jiangxi Province as soon as possible. He was born in Nanhai County, Guangdong Province. 1872, Zhan Tianyou, who was only 12 years old, went to Hongkong to enroll in the "Preparatory Course for Young Children Going Abroad" organized by the Qing government. 1878 completed the middle school course with excellent results and was admitted to the Civil Engineering Department of Yale University to study railway engineering. 188/kloc-0 graduated from Yale university with honors in, wrote the graduation thesis "Research on Wharf Crane", obtained a bachelor's degree, and returned to China in the same year. After returning home, Zhan Tianyou attended Mawei Ship Administration Preparatory School and was sent to Fujian Navy flagship "Wu Yang" as a gunner to participate in Mawei naval battle. After the war, he was transferred to the Huangpu Naval Academy to teach. However, in China at that time, due to the strong opposition of feudal die-hards to the construction of railways, the hero was forced to learn to drive seagoing ships, which lasted for 78 years. 1887, "China Railway Corporation" was established in Tianjin. The following year, he was recommended by Mou, a classmate studying in the United States, and became the first railway engineer in China. Construction of the railway from Tanggu to Tianjin began, and the track-laying project was completed in just over 70 days. Later, he participated in the construction of the railway from Tianjin to Shanhaiguan, and needed to build an iron bridge on the Luanhe River. Faced with the successive failures of British, Japanese and German engineers to build this iron bridge, he resolutely stepped forward and undertook the task of building the bridge, and finally completed all the projects brilliantly. Zhan Tianyou's greatest contribution in his life was the successful construction of the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway. 1905, chief engineer of Jing-Zhang Railway. This road is over mountains and mountains, with a total length of more than 200 kilometers. The engineering difficulty is unprecedented for it. He personally surveyed and selected the route. In the Donggou of Qinglong Bridge in Beijing, the herringbone track is adopted, and two high-power locomotives turn around and push and pull each other to solve the problem of insufficient traction of locomotives with large slope. Together with the workers, various measures have been taken to solve the problems of water seepage and collapse in tunnel engineering. Jing-Zhang Railway 1909 was completed two years ahead of schedule, and the total cost was only one fifth of the price charged by foreign contractors. After the completion ceremony of Jing-Zhang Railway, he was employed as the Sichuan-Han and Guangdong-Han Railway Association or the Prime Minister and Chief Engineer. After the Revolution of 1911, ren han, chief engineer and supervisor of Yuechuan Railway Association, overcame various difficulties and built a 365-kilometer railway from Wuchang to Changsha. In his later years, he edited and published engineering books such as General Situation of Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway Engineering and Standard Map of Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway, as well as Huaying Engineering Vocabulary, the earliest civil engineering dictionary in China. 19 19 died. China Institution of Engineers built a bronze statue of Zhan Tianyou, the first president, at Qinglongqiao Station, in memory of this outstanding patriotic railway engineer forever.
