1931, the first batch of twenty female employees of Jiaoji Railway took a photo.

1930, the year when Ge Guangting took office, Jiaoji Railway Administration recruited the first batch of female employees. This precedent thing was once a story, and even Shanghai media reported it. But from the time point of view, this matter obviously has nothing to do with Ge Guangting. The chairman before this was Yan Deqing and Sapphojun. No matter who was inspired by it, it was not surprising, because both of them had Western learning experience and had seen the world.

On July 3, 1930, Shanghai Pictorial first published an article "Jiaoji Railway Probation Female Staff", from which we can learn about the recruitment of female staff by Jiaoji Railway: "Although the female profession in my country has been known as developed recently, what we see is only a few places such as game venues and dance venues, except for a few agencies. How can we believe that women's profession is characterized by a developed female profession? I heard that Jiaoji Railway will hire female staff in the near future, and all ticket sales and accounting matters will be held by female staff. The authorities of the road have set up an examination office in Qingdao. The office has completed the exam a few days ago, with more than 70 applicants, and half of them can be admitted. After receiving the admission, they will be sent to various stations and practice for a little while. It is still a creation in China for this move, but it is not known how effective it is. If you are satisfied with your job, you can still use a number of people in the future, which is also a blessing for the future of a woman's career."

Half a year later, Qingdao's "Picture Times" published a photo of the first group of female employees of the Jiaoji Railway Administration taken by Qingdao News Agency reporter Zhao Xinxi, which confirmed the text reports of the "Shanghai Pictorial" company.

The first batch of female staff of Jiaoji Railway recruited 20 people. Zhao Xinxi's lens solidified them into the most stunning scene in the history of Jiaoji Railway: Lu Hehui (1900, Tang people from South Jiangxi, 1900), Tao Lansun (1904, from Licheng, Shandong, 1904), Lin Huimin (1904, from Fujian, 1904), Yu Xu (1905, from Xiangyin, Hubei, 1905), Bao Zehui (1906, from Changshan, Shandong, 1906), Ding Xinglan (1906, from Pingyin, Shandong, 1906), Xiao Muxiang (1906, from Wugang, Hubei, 1906), Wu Zhongzhuo (1906, from Nankang, Jiangxi, 1906), Lou Xingyi (1906, from Hangzhou, Zhejiang, 1906), Liu Zhuqing (1906, from Weixian, Shandong, 1908, from Weixian, Shandong, 1906), Wu Zhongzhuo (1906, from Nankang, Jiangxi, 1906), Lou Xingyi (1906, from Hangzhou, 1906, from Hangzhou, 1906, from Liu Zhuqing (1908, Shandong, 1908, from Weixian, Shandong, 1908, 1908, from Wugang, Hubei, 1908, 1908, from Wugang, 1908, 1908, from Wuzhong, 1908, from Jiangxi, 1908, 1908, 1908, 1908, 1908, 1908, 1908, 1908, 1908, 1908, 1908, 1908, 1908, 1908, 1908, 1908, 1 1907), Yu Shifeng (Jimo, Shandong Province, 1907), Jiang Guanying (Zhanghai Province, 1907), Zhou Zheng (Zhanghai Province, 1908), Guo Mingwen (Zhanghai Province, 1909), Shao Suhua (Zhanghai Province, 1909), Li Zulin (Zhanghai Province, 1910), Li Shuqin (Zhanghai Province, 1910), Chen Yuhui (Zhanghai Province, 1911), Li Xingru (Zhanghai Province, 1911), Yunnan Province, Li Shuqin (Zhanghai Province, 1912).

records that Jiaoji Railway Administration has specially established a training officer qualification review committee to be responsible for the recruitment of the first batch of female staff, which shows how high the importance is. The members of the review committee are Chen Yanwen, member of the Administration, Qian Yong, director of the General Affairs Department, Cai Guozao, director of the Industry Department, and Tan Shukui, deputy director of the Vehicle Affairs Department. In February 1931, this group of female employees received employment notices one after another. However, because they were distributed throughout the country, they only came to Jiaoji Railway Administration to report to Jiaoji Railway Administration until June of that year.

From the relevant information, we can track clues of these female employees. "Bao Zehui joined the comprehensive course of the Accounting Department as a trainee", "Lin Huimin and Li Shuqin were also sent to the comprehensive course of the Accounting Department", "Jiang Guanying and Shao Suhua were assigned to the inspection course of the Accounting Department", "Chen Yuhui, who was in the confidential course of the General Affairs Office, Li Shuili, who was in the documentary course of the General Affairs Office, and Ding Xinglan, who was in the editor-in-chief course of the General Affairs Office", ...

Qingdao scholar Wang Shuai even found Bao Zehui's descendants, so he also disclosed more information, "In March 1930, Bao Zehui... became the first female staff of Jiaoji Railway", "In April 1931, Bao Zehui's husband Wang Dainian also joined Jiaoji Railway", "On August 19, 1937... Bao Zehui, like most of the employees of Jiaoji Railway, was deported and evacuated."When he learned that her husband had been dispersed to Lanzhou, "Bao Zehui left Zhoucun and brought his five children to Jinan, then went out of Tongguan through Xuzhou, Bengbu, Jieshou, Luoyang, passed through Xi'an, went to Huajia Cen, and went straight to Lanzhou... After May, he finally arrived in Lanzhou." "Bao Zehui also found a job in the Finance Department of the Northwest Highway Bureau." "In 1953, Bao Zehui resigned due to illness." "On January 14, 1961, Bao Zehui died at the age of 56." (Wang Shuai's "History of the Scenery of Jiaoji Railway")

From Bao Zehui's life experience, you can truly understand the life experience of the first female staff of Jiaoji Railway. When looking at each vivid face, people will not only sigh at their luck, but also feel sad about the insignificance and difficulty of individuals living under the rush of the times. But no matter what, the bright color left by these twenty female staff added a little warmth and touch to that dark era, and left endless imaginations for history.

At that time, Qingdao's "Minyan Evening Journal" published "Female Staff - Zhou Yong", which said, "The cycle happened to be three again, like the night is not over. Lan Gui Xinxin's business is full, and the time is half open is interesting..."

They have been away for a long time, but they are like in front of them.
