Comrade Jiang Zemin is very concerned about the Qinghai-Tibet Railway and has conducted in-depth studies on the construction of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway from a strategic level many times. The majority of builders worked together to solve three major global engineering and technical problems: "permafrost, alpine hypoxia, and ecological fragility."

1. In July 1994, at the Third Tibet Work Symposium, Comrade Jiang Zemin put forward the requirement to make early preparations for the construction of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway.

2. On June 17, 1999, Comrade Jiang Zemin chaired a meeting in Xi'an and clearly proposed the implementation of the Western Development Strategy , which is a grand strategic task to revitalize China.

3. In November 2000, Comrade Jiang Zemin made important instructions on the construction of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway: It is very necessary to build the Qinghai-Tibet Railway. We should make up our minds to start building the road as soon as possible. This is a big decision we should make as we enter the new century.

4. On June 29, 2001, when the world-famous Qinghai-Tibet Railway was launched, Comrade Jiang Zemin sent a congratulatory letter, hoping that the railway construction army, which has a fine tradition and style of hard work and daring to fight tough battles, will carry forward the spirit of "pioneer", unite and work hard, scientifically construct, strengthen collaboration, and pool their efforts to build the Qinghai-Tibet Railway with high quality and efficiency, and make new contributions to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation!

5. On December 19, 2001, Comrade Jiang Zemin personally wrote an inscription for the Qinghai-Tibet Railway: "Building the Qinghai-Tibet Railway will benefit the people of all ethnic groups."

This is a huge encouragement and spur to the builders of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, guiding the construction of this plateau railway to continuously overcome difficulties and achieve greater success.

6. After the Qinghai-Tibet Railway started construction, Comrade Jiang Zemin asked many times about the progress of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway construction and gave many important instructions.

7. On July 1, 2006, the Qinghai-Tibet Railway with a total length of 1,956 kilometers was completed and opened to traffic. The Qinghai-Tibet Railway starts from Golmud in Qinghai in the east to Lhasa in Tibet. It has become the highest and longest plateau railway in the world, ending the history of no railway in Tibet.

The Qinghai-Tibet Railway is a road of independent innovation and ecological protection. This is a great transition of a century that the Communist Party of China has led the people to complete, and it has also opened a great transition for the Chinese nation in a new century.

I will always cherish the memory of Comrade Jiang Zemin.
