Railway History

About This Novel

The emergence of railways in the ancient land of China is the product of "European winds and beautiful rains rushing eastwards". The First Opium War in 1840 brought the isolated Chinese Empire into the world capitalist system. As a result, the Western powers began to transform China in their own image, and they especially worked hard on material technology such as telegraphs and railways. The first commercial railway laid in China was the Wusong Railway built by British businessmen in Shanghai in 1876. It marked that ancient China also began to enter the "railway age" with difficulty. Counting from this year to the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, China's modern railways went through 73 years of ups and downs from scratch, from few to many.
