CRH trains in Wuhan Station Marshalling Yard 武漢動車段“萬艦待發(fā)”

As a saying goes,“Railways are the most important vehicles in building a powerful nation.” Only when railway construction is accelerated can a country operate smoothly.Many developing countries approve of China's development model in this respect and have started to speed up the development of their own railway industries.

The Chinese people always maintain that it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him fish.Along with the upgrading of its own railway industry,China is also helping some developing countries to build their own railway industries.Therefore,the training of railway management talents has become essential to the development of the railway industries in these countries.

Inrecent years,many countries have been organizing their railway management and technical personnel to attain professional training and vocational skills training in China.As the only institute for high-speed railway personnel to train their vocational skills in China Railway,Wuhan Highspeed Railway Vocational Skills Training Base has undertaken the task of in-service training.Over the course of training,foreign students experience China's highspeed railway in an all-round dimension.The short period of training time adds knowledge,laughter,and precious memories to students' life.

We went into the training base to explore the cooperation between China's and the world's railway industry—particularly China's efforts in training new railway management to unveil this unknown mystery to the world.

In the autumn of October,Wuhan is heavy with the aroma of osmanthus blossoms.And thousands of trainees are receiving strict training in different rooms of Wuhan Highspeed Railway Vocational Skills Training Base,which is located on the bank of Yanxi Lake,Donghu High-tech Zone.

According to relevant statistics,the base has trained more than 140,000 trainees for China's highspeed railway.It is also a site for pre-job training and the national entrance examination for Chinese high-speed rail drivers.

In our interview,Huang Mingjun,deputy secretary of the CPC Committee of the training base,told us proudly,“The base has been a shining name card for China's high-speed railway and a bridge to the railway industry in some developing countries.So far,more than 500 foreign railway operators from over thirty countries,have come and visited here,participated in meetings,and received training.It also provides an opportunity for us to participate in and make contributions to the Belt and Road Initiative.”

As he introduced us to the program,Huang Mingjun showed us the photos of and training materials for the foreign trainees that have been trained here.In reading the materials,we seemed to have seen the scenes of foreign trainees who received training:

難忘中國高鐵培訓體驗

“交通強國,鐵路先行?！敝挥需F路發(fā)展起來，一個國家的資源才能加快速度運轉(zhuǎn)起來。許多發(fā)展中國家對中國的這個觀念非常認同，開始著手加快自身鐵路建設(shè)事業(yè)的發(fā)展。

中國人一貫認為，授人以魚不如授人以漁。隨著自身鐵路事業(yè)的發(fā)展，中國也在幫助一些發(fā)展中國家發(fā)展自己的鐵路事業(yè)。在這個過程中，鐵路管理人才的培養(yǎng)成了這些國家發(fā)展鐵路事業(yè)的關(guān)鍵。

近年來，很多國家不斷組織鐵路管理人員和技術(shù)人員來到中國，接受鐵路管理專業(yè)進修和職業(yè)技能培訓。武漢高速鐵路職業(yè)技能訓練段，作為中國鐵路唯一的高鐵人員職業(yè)技能培訓機構(gòu)，責無旁貸地承擔起了實操培訓任務(wù)。在訓練段里，外國學員們?nèi)轿惑w驗中國高鐵，短短的時間，留下無數(shù)歡聲笑語，保存了人生一份珍貴的回憶。

我們走進該訓練段，了解中國鐵路與世界鐵路的相互聯(lián)系，尤其是在涉外培訓方面中國為世界鐵路發(fā)展所做出的努力，揭開這塊世人未見的神秘面紗。

金秋十月，江城桂花飄香。中國武漢市東湖高新區(qū)嚴西湖畔的武漢高速鐵路職業(yè)技能訓練段大樓燈火通明，上千學員分布在各個訓練室里接受嚴格訓練。

據(jù)統(tǒng)計，這里已為中國高鐵崗位培育了14萬余人，挑起了中國高鐵發(fā)展的大梁。這里還是中國高鐵司機崗前培訓和準入考試的場所，這種“國考”又為她的神圣增添了幾分神秘。

該段黨委副書記黃明軍了解我們的來意后，自豪地告訴我們：“武漢高速鐵路職業(yè)技能訓練段已經(jīng)成了中國高鐵對外展示的窗口和連接發(fā)展中國家鐵路事業(yè)的紐帶，到目前為止，已經(jīng)有30多個國家500余名國外鐵路運營人員，到這里參觀交流和培訓學習，這也為訓練段助推‘一帶一路’建設(shè)提供平臺和機會?！?/p>

黃明軍一邊介紹，一邊拿出外國學員在這里接受培訓學習的照片和資料，在翻閱講解中，我們仿佛看到了外國人接受培訓時的一幕幕場景：

2018 was the busiest year for foreign railway colleagues.

2018年是國外鐵路同行來訓練段培訓最頻繁的一年。

“I'm amazed to see the development of China's highspeed railway,and we hope to strengthen our exchanges and cooperation with China.” After experiencing the simulated driving,Sungsa Dolcofa from Laos said candidly that he hopes to grasp the advanced technology of China's high-speed railway in Wuhan High-speed Railway Vocational Skills Training Base and serve his country in the future.

Wang Sheng,engineer of Training Department of the base,said that in recent years,more and more friends from the Belt and Road countries have come to visit Wuhan.Previously,the Yangtze River Bridge,Yellow Crane Tower,and other attractions were their go-to sites.But now they are more willing to come here to learn Chinese technology and feel the power of Chinese wisdom.

Xu Weijun,director of the Teaching and Research Office of EMU Drivers of the base,has witnessed the development of China's high-speed railway,namely,from learning from abroad to developing independent innovation,and then becoming a world leader in this field,and its growth from the role of an apprentice who went abroad to learn technology to the role of an instructor who train learners from all over the world.“I saw the sparkle of admiration in our foreign trainees' eyes,” he said proudly,“seeing China's high-speed rail development achievements; we also recall that when we went abroad to study many years ago,we had admired others in our hearts too.”

As some newly-trained foreign railway managers said,the training base demonstrates the speed and strength of China's railway development while providing foreign students with knowledge of railway management and personnel training,which has benefited them a lot.

Here,the railway colleagues from developing countries all over the world have witnessed the prospect of railway development,become aware of the important role and outstanding contribution that railways can have for the national economy,and formed firm confidence in developing their own national railway.

The teachers in the base tell their foreign friends and trainees that,China is willing to work hand in hand with the Belt and Road countries,share their railway science and technology with other countries,and create everlasting peace and promising prospects together.(Translation: Qing Run)

“安全、高效、快捷，中國從南到北的高鐵系統(tǒng)很完善，很先進?！眮碜圆ê诘拿滋m諾維奇·馬里奧體驗完高鐵模擬駕駛后，為中國高鐵豎起了大拇指。

“看到中國高鐵的發(fā)展我感到很驚訝，我們希望加強與中國的互聯(lián)互通、交流合作?！眮碜岳蠐氲乃褂郎ざ酄柨品ㄔ隗w驗完模擬駕駛后坦言，中國高鐵實在太神奇了，希望能在武漢高速鐵路職業(yè)技能訓練段收獲中國高鐵的先進技術(shù)，服務(wù)于自己的國家。

武漢高速鐵路職業(yè)技能訓練段培訓部工程師王勝介紹說，近年來，越來越多“一帶一路”國家的朋友來到湖北武漢，以前長江大橋、黃鶴樓等人文景點是他們的必訪之地，但現(xiàn)在他們更愿意到這里來學習中國科技，感受中國智慧的力量。

武漢高速鐵路職業(yè)技能訓練段動車組司機教研室負責人徐維軍，從走出國門學技術(shù)的“留學生”，到培訓外國人的“高鐵教頭”，他見證了中國高鐵從取經(jīng)學習到自主創(chuàng)新，再到引領(lǐng)世界的歷程。他很欣慰地說：“我看到了外國人臉上的那種驚嘆。面對中國高鐵的發(fā)展成就，我們也想起了當年出國學習時羨慕別人的情景。”

正如受訓的外國鐵路管理人員所說，訓練段展示了中國鐵路發(fā)展的速度和實力，也讓外國學員學到了鐵路管理和人才培養(yǎng)方面的知識，感到受益匪淺。

在這里，通過這個窗口，來自世界各地發(fā)展中國家的鐵路同行們看到鐵路發(fā)展的前景，深刻理解了鐵路對于國家經(jīng)濟的重要作用和突出貢獻，為外國學員發(fā)展本國家鐵路事業(yè)堅定了信心。

武漢高速鐵路職業(yè)技能訓練段的同仁們也告訴外國朋友，中國的發(fā)展愿意與“一帶一路”國家攜手并進，中國的鐵路科技愿意與世界各國分享，中國人民愿意與各國人民一起創(chuàng)造和平、美好的未來！
