川滇铁路的建设困厄——基于资金、劳工为中心的考察

Difficulties in Constructing the Sichuan-Yunnan Railway:An Investigation Based on Funds and Labor

川滇铁路横跨川、黔、滇三省,测定全长约865公里,由1938年开始动工修建,1944年用拆毁旧轨建昆明至沾益部分路段后停工。此条铁路身肩国民政府厚望,是实现打破日军封锁,接通越南和缅甸两国,运输物资支援前线抗战与后方建设重要之路径。为保证铁路顺利完工,国民政府曾付出巨大努力,在关乎铁路建设命运的建设资金筹集和劳工征调方面,更是多种举措并行。但川滇铁路的建设仍因战争形势的恶化、国内经济崩盘等因素导致资金断裂、劳工无着陷入建设困境,最终以不足20%的建设进度宣告停工,成为抗战时期戛然而止的国有事业的建设表征。

The Sichuan-Yunnan Railway spans Sichuan,Guizhou and Yunnan,with a total length of about 865 kilometers,and the construction of the railway started in 1938,and stopped after the demolition of old tracks from Kunming to Zhanyi in 1944.The railway,which shoulders the high expectations of the Nationalist Government,is an important way to break the Blockade of the Japanese Army,connects Vietnam and Burma,and transports materials to support the front line of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the construction of the rear.Therefore,great efforts have been made to ensure the smooth completion of the railway,especially the collection of railway construction funds and the requisition of road construction labor,which are two aspects that are deeply related to the fate of railway construction.However,the construction of the Sichuan-Yunnan Railway was still due to the deterioration of the war situation,the collapse of the domestic economy and other factors,which led to the rupture of funds,the labor force fell into the construction dilemma,and finally stopped work,and only less than 20%of the line construction was completed,which became a symptom of the construction of state-owned undertakings that abruptly stopped during the War of Resistance.
