梦想与符号

DREAM AND SYMBOL

如果说1840年以后的相当长时间，中国人是“被迫”在现代化的道路上行进；那么，孙中山先生“今日之世界，非铁道无以立国”的呼吁，则应被看成是现代化的“主动”与“自觉”了。

As the sculpture of Liberty to USA, Eiffel Tower to France, or Great Wall to China, each country has its own symbolic object or event. The completion of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway also has such symbolic significance as it has brought an end to the history that Tibet, an autonomous region analogous to a province had no access to railway on the territory of China.
