The Trans-Siberian Railway runs from Moscow through vast pine forests, across the rugged Ural Mountains, across the Siberian tundra, and finally to Vladivostok on the Pacific coast.

Although Einstein is 50 years old, his personality does not seem dull. As the train sped through the boundless layers of earth, he was pleasantly surprised like a child discovering a new toy, lying behind the window and looking at it without blinking.

"It's really a magical railway, it's unbelievable, it's even more spectacular than the Great Western Railroad in the United States," Einstein couldn't help but sigh, "I have to say, Russia is a great nation." ”

Zhou Hexuan pointed to the ice and snow outside, and said nonchalantly: "When the Siberian section of this railway was being built, Russia recruited hundreds of thousands of workers in Shandong, Henan, and Northeast China before and after. The vast majority of the bridge and tunnel work on the eastern section of the Trans-Siberian Railway was carried out by Chinese workers. Whether it is the Western Railway of the United States or the Siberian Railway, the blood of the Chinese flows on every sleeper. ”

Einstein was surprised at first, then silently and said slowly: "Perhaps, I should know more about China." ”

As an architect, Le Corbusier couldn't help but comment when he heard what Zhou Hexuan said: "The workers of China are the best workers in the world." Whether it's in Russia, the United States, or France, they're doing just that. Perhaps, this kind of craftsman inheritance has always flowed in the blood of the nation, so there will be the Great Wall. ”

Li Shizeng didn't know what to say, and the Chinese workers built the Western Railroad in the United States and the Trans-Siberian Railway in Russia. The two most majestic railways in the world today have the most difficult sections built by Chinese workers, while China's own railways are pitifully few.

When will China's workers be able to build a world-class railway that belongs to China?

Li Shi once felt very dazed, and the grievances in his heart were indescribable.

Zhou Hexuan looked at the glaciers and snowfields in the distance, and Han Hong's song "Heavenly Road" sounded faintly in his ears.

The terminus of the Trans-Siberian Railway is Vladivostok, which was part of China in the late Qing Dynasty, but now it has become the largest port in the Far East of the Soviet Union, "Vladivostok", which means "Zhendong Province".

Even leaving aside Vladivostok, the Trans-Siberian Railway at this time was to pass through China, swaggering through Harbin.

The train stopped at Harbin Station, and everyone got off the train and transferred to the branch railway, passing through Changchun and heading to Shenyang.

This branch line of the Trans-Siberian Railway was completed and opened to traffic in 1903, when it was called the "Dongqing Railway". As a special envoy of the Qing Dynasty, Li Hongzhang went to Moscow to congratulate Tsar Nicholas II on his coronation, was induced by the Russians to sign the "Sino-Russian Secret Treaty", and decided to build this "Eastern Qing Railway", which was in essence to strengthen Tsarist Russia's control over Northeast China.

The Dongqing Railway, in the Republic of China, was called the Middle East Road! (Starting from Harbin, ending in Dalian)

The impact of the Middle East Road incident has disappeared, and Zhou Hexuan and others saw countless Soviet railway workers working in an orderly manner at Changchun Station. Only the occasional crater in the field, and the unrepaired buildings that have been blown up, remind people that war has just broken out here.

Shenyang Railway Station.

"Woo woo woo ~~~~~"

The train whistle sounded, the dark steel beast slowly stopped, Zhou Hexuan got up and said to Einstein and Corbusier: "Two gentlemen, please, welcome to Shenyang, China!" ”

"Please!" Le Corbusier asked Einstein to go ahead.

Albert Einstein walked in the front, and the moment he got off the train, a frantic shout erupted outside the platform.

As Zhang Xueliang's representative, Feng Yong led celebrities from all walks of life in Shenyang, as well as students and reporters who came spontaneously, and had been waiting at the station for a long time.

Einstein smiled and waved at everyone, and said in simple Chinese that he had just learned from Zhou Hexuan: "Xie, tired of exhaustion!" ”

"Boom!"

Hearing Einstein speak Chinese, the station became more lively, and the excited students squeezed forward desperately, knocking over the police who maintained order.

Finally calming down the emotions at the scene, Feng Yong walked forward with dignitaries and celebrities, shook hands with Einstein and said, "Hello, Mr. Einstein!" ”

"Hello," Einstein joked, "your English is better than my Chinese." ”

"Hahahaha!"

This little humor made the scene laugh out loud.

Zhou Hexuan stepped forward and introduced: "This is Mr. Feng Yong, who is the founder of a free private university. ”

"Free private colleges?" Albert Einstein was surprised, "It's incredible." ”

Zhou Hexuan said with a smile: "In order to establish a university, Mr. Feng Yong sold all the inheritance left by his father. ”

Einstein shook Feng Yong's hand and said, "Mr. Feng, you are a respectable gentleman. ”

"Thank you for the compliment, I don't dare to take it." Feng Yong hurriedly said modestly.

Zhou Hexuan was afraid that he would snub Le Corbusier, so he hurriedly introduced: "Fifth brother, this is Mr. Le Corbusier, a top European designer." ”

Feng Yong immediately stepped forward to shake hands: "Hello Mr. Corbusier! ”

"Hello, young Mr. Headmaster, it's a pleasure to meet you." Le Corbusier laughed.

Subsequently, Feng Yong introduced several political leaders and celebrities in Shenyang, and everyone gathered around Einstein to prepare to leave the station. Einstein completely became the center of attention, not to mention Le Corbusier, and even Zhou Hexuan became a foil.

The reporter of Shenyang's "Declaration" stopped everyone and shouted: "Wait, let's take a group photo first!" ”

Feng Yong was as kind as a stream, and said to the two foreigners: "Mr. Einstein, Mr. Corbusier, please!" ”

Einstein and Le Corbusier stood in the middle, Zhou Hexuan and Feng Yong stood on either side of them, and further outside and behind, there were many celebrities and dignitaries from Shenyang.

"Everybody watch the camera, eggplant!"

"Click!"

"Click!"

Le Corbusier was very gentlemanly when he took the photo, with a serious and meticulous expression. Albert Einstein was much more mischievous, and the moment the reporter pressed the shutter, he suddenly tilted his head, stuck out his tongue, and stared at him like a puppy.

Zhou Hexuan, on the other hand, noticeably noticed Einstein's actions, and looked at the scientist with slanted eyes, looking like a smile rather than a smile -- quite a bit of "funny" flavor.

This photo was widely circulated in later generations, and some netizens posted a joke: "The painting style of the whole photo is divided into two from the middle line." Feng Yong and Le Corbusier on the left are too serious, like taking ID photos. Zhou Hexuan and Einstein on the right are no longer in the category of taking pictures, they are obviously fighting emojis, one is 'funny', the other is 'funny', they are quite bad. ”
