Mentioned Zhan Tianyou, I believe many people are very familiar with him. He was the first person in China's railways. Under difficult conditions, he led Chinese technicians and promoted the construction of China's railways. We have all learned touching stories about Zhan Tianyou in our textbooks. But besides repairing the railway, what kind of person is Zhan Tianyou? Let's listen to the editor in detail below.
Zhan Tianyou's father was originally a tea merchant, but later became unemployed, and his father had to make a living by selling words. In order for his son to get ahead, his father sent Zhan Tianyou to a private school since he was a child, hoping that he could become a useful person in the future. Although Zhan Tianyou studies hard and has consistently ranked among the best, he has received unanimous praise from the teachers, but in fact he does not like to read these four books and five classics , on the contrary, he is particularly interested in a lot of mechanical knowledge. Later, the Qing government prepared to select 100 children to study in the United States. Although Zhan Tianyou's father was reluctant to bear his son, he was persuaded by his friend Tan Bocun to send Zhan Tianyou to study.
During his study abroad, Zhan Tianyou finally successfully learned a lot of knowledge about architecture and railways. After returning from school, Zhan Tianyou married the daughter of his father’s friend Tan Bocun. After marriage, the two were very affectionate. Although Zhan Tianyou was very busy due to work, his wife was considerate of him. The two had a total of 8 children, 5 sons and 3 daughters. At that time, Zhan Tianyou was the chief engineer of China Railways, and his salary was very high. In terms of the current situation, his monthly salary is as high as about 210,000 yuan. However, despite the high salary, Zhan Tianyou’s dedication is indeed worthy of such a high return. During his tenure as a Chinese railway engineer, he was responsible for the construction of , Jingzhang Railway and other projects. He is known as the “father of Chinese Railways”. ".
Looking at it this way, Zhan Tianyou's life can be described as very inspirational. Not only is he successful in his career, but his family is also very happy. Think about it carefully, he has a father who has always supported him, and a wife who is willing to consider him, and more importantly,He knew what he wanted to learn, so he chose Civil Engineering Department when studying abroad, which laid a solid foundation for him to successfully build the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway. It can be said that Zhan Tianyou, the "father of Chinese railways", has a perfect life outside of work. Do you envy?
