in the hearts of many Jinan people, the old railway station being pulled down is a "eternal pain". It was once the largest railway station in Asia, and the only Gothic architecture community in the world was named the first stop in the Far East. In 1992, the world-famous old railway station was ruthlessly demolished. However, in the mountains of Changqing, Ji'nan, there is also a German century old station, Zhang Xia station. Zhang Xia station is located in the middle section of the Beijing Shanghai line. It is a four class intermediate station governed by the Ji'nan train operation section of the Ji'nan Railway Administration.
August 3rd, reporters set foot on the platform of the small station. The station was built in 1911. The style of the station is typical of the German Gothic architecture. So far, it has a history of 100 years.
Wang Quanxin, the 67 year old retired veteran stationer, has worked in ZhangXia Railway Station since 1970 and served as the station master in 1978. According to Wang Lao, there are only trains that roar past, but in 80s of last century, ZhangXia Railway Station was a busy scene. At that time, there were more than 30 cadres and workers in the whole station, and the loading capacity was about 10. At the busiest time, the station operates 5 green cars every day, sending more than 200 people a day. Because the train ticket between Ji'nan and Tai'an is only 2 cents, so every holiday is always crowded, and the tickets are sold out a week in advance.
in 1998, the ZhangXia Railway Station stopped the passenger service, which made the local people feel very sorry. From then on, the green car has become the memory of the people's heart forever.
station away from the urban area, located in the depths of the mountains, traffic remains unchanged, staff life is boring, but still stick to it. They developed and utilized idle land in the station area, and planted cucumbers, eggplants, peppers and other vegetables. In order to make the station more beautiful, it also afforested and beautified the station, paved the cobblestones from the beach and built it into a small garden station, planting more than ten kinds of flowers and trees, such as banyan, cedar and Lagerstroemia. The trees were dense and green all the year round. In December 2015, this beautiful little station was also selected by the all China Federation of trade unions as the "model worker home".
now, walking in a beautiful little station seems to be "crossing". Nearby is the Gothic old water tower of 105 years old, the rusty factory building, and the cumbersome old freight train. In the distance, every few minutes, there is a speeding motor car roaring past the quiet little station, where history and modernity are perfectly alternately.
