The "Chengdu and Chongqing"
is about to depart to Duisburg
Over the past year, the China-Europe freight train has maintained high operation, and the circle of friends of the "Belt and Road" has continued to expand, and the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" has gradually changed from concepts, initiatives, and vision to reality.
In this year, the China-Europe Express "Chengdu and Chongqing" issued the first train at the same time in Chengdu and Chongqing. The in-depth cooperation between Chengdu and Chongqing has effectively promoted the construction of the assembly center of the "integration of stems and branches and hub distribution" of the national China-Europe Express, and also provided new impetus for high-quality development for the construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing Twin Cities Economic Circle.
The Gantry Crane in the Chongqing Central Station of the China-Europe Express
Four shifts a day, loading and unloading goods will not stop
0 The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the weather in Chongqing, known as the "fog capital", is still a bit wet and cold. At around 3 a.m., as soon as I walked into the brightly lit China Railway Lianji Chongqing Central Station, the busy lifting site and the warm lights made me feel warm. In the cab of the gantry lifting and unloading unit at a height of 16 meters, Zheng Yushuang was operating various handles and switches left and right, and focused on loading containers on the Chengdu-Chongqing train of the China-Europe Express. The destination of this train today is Duisburg.
At 8 o'clock in the morning, Zheng Yushuang ended his 5-hour night shift. After finishing the handover, he opened the iron door in the cab, climbed down the 16-meter-high staircase, and prepared to go back to the dormitory to have a good sleep. At 5 pm, he will climb into the cab again and work until 9 pm.

Zheng Yushuang said: "Our shift starts from the first midnight and has to work for the second midnight, so we come to the unit every day at 5 pm. We have to go to the yard crane room to call the name and get the loading order needed for loading every day."
has a "big dragon" in mind. It is rainy and rain
011. On January 28, 2011, the first "Yuxin Europe" special train departs from Chongqing and heads to Duisburg, Germany. The China-Europe freight train debuted in Chongqing. At the departure ceremony, Zheng Yushuang sat quietly in the cab of the gantry crane, watching the "steel dragon" go west with a load of loads. Tomorrow will happen to be the 11-year anniversary of the launch of the China-Europe Express in Chongqing. For 11 years, Zheng Yushuang and his gantry crane have welcomed and delivered this "Oriental Express" regardless of wind and rain.

Zheng Yushuang said: "Where you work, your country can export so many products, go to Europe and even further away. As one of them, I am quite proud of you." As a participant, the Chongqing China-Europe Express ushered in a new milestone in the tenth year of its launch. Riding on the east wind of the construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing Twin Cities Economic Circle, the first China-Europe Express Chengdu-Chongqing train departed at the same time. This is also the first time in the country that cross-provincial and municipal China-Europe freight train cooperation has been achieved. From "Yuxin Europe" to "Chengdu and Chongqing", over the past year, the Chengdu-Chongqing-China-Europe Express has reached more than 100 European cities, becoming the China-Europe Express with the largest number of traffic, the highest cargo value, the most extensive regional cooperation and the most stable transportation.
Zheng Yushuang: "The freight flow achieved every day has increased, and the number of transmission has also increased. Then the number of China-Europe freight trains has also increased a lot compared to before. In the past, we might have installed 2 or 3 trains a week, but now sometimes we have to install 3 or 4 trains a day."

The mighty gantry crane will be motion sickness when sitting on a seat
As the business volume continues to grow, more gantry cranes appear at the Chongqing central station. Xu Zhe is a new gantry crane driver.
Xu Zhe said: "They usually say that you are on it, there are heating and air conditioning, which is so comfortable. Then we say that we are on it, and the heating supplies such as hats and gloves are all used, but it is still very cold. When the weather is very good and there is a sun, we also envious of them for coming out to bask in the sun and walking around."
Zheng Yushuang, who is not old, unknowingly brought many apprentices, and Zhou Chen, who was born in 1995, is one of them. "At the beginning, you will feel motion sickness. When operating, you will move forward and backward, and you will stop. At first, you will feel dizzy if you haven't done this." Zhou Chen said that in the eyes of outsiders, controlling a 30-meter-high giant is very majestic. In fact, only I know the joys and sorrows best.
Gantry crane is lifting containers
Hungry containers is a meticulous job, which requires full concentration and use both hands and brain. Zhou Chen said that you should be very careful to prevent problems: "After an hour or two, you will feel your neck soreness and your waist cannot be straightened, especially your eyes, so you just want to lie down like this." After being tired, Zhou Chen still firmly chose to stay. He said that he felt very accomplished when he saw this car coming here to carry the box and ship the goods to all parts of the country, or even to other countries.
Work hard and go home to "pay your baby"

Zheng Yushuang said that the loading orders he gets every day have more and more categories: "At the beginning, there were some laptops and printers, and now there are everything. Clothes, shoes, toys, and milk powder." The interview ended with
. Zheng Yushuang will board the gantry crane again and work. While speaking, Zheng Yushuang and his team are about to prepare for work again. He cannot bring his cell phone during working hours, so he will send a message to his wife as usual. After this class came down, Zheng Yushuang was preparing to go to Jiefangbei and take the toy tiger home that his two twin daughters had been talking about for a long time, giving them a surprise: "When you get home, you will feel not tired when you look at your two children."

Zheng Yushuang: During the Chinese New Year, I plan to take my family and children out for fun, because this year is the Year of the Tiger, and I plan to take my children to the zoo to see the tiger.
Zhou Chen: I hope that in the new year, I can enter the marriage hall with my beloved girlfriend, and I also hope that there will be more and more flights of the Chengdu-Chongqing train in our Chongqing Central Station, and the development will be smoother and smoother.
For Chinese people, "New Year" means going home, reunion, and warmth and harvest; on the time scale of "Year", it also records the profound changes in the country and society. On the occasion of the New Year of the Tiger, we walked into the project site of "West-to-East Power Transmission", rural e-commerce deep in the mountains, the "New Year's goods collection" of the "China-Europe Express", and the future factory of intelligent manufacturing... There is struggle and laughter here, and the stories here are ordinary and warm. Here, we touch the strong pulse of the development of the times; here, we feel the power of progress behind a better life.
