為奇跡喝彩
——致敬中老鐵路建設者

文：《一帶一路報道》全媒體記者 雷怡安

所有美好，都將如約而至。

在極不平凡的2021年，中老鐵路如約開行。這是第一條以中方為主投資建設、全線采用中國技術(shù)標準、使用中國裝備并與中國鐵路網(wǎng)直接連通的跨國鐵路，規(guī)模龐大、意義重大。

致敬建設者！跨越山河，鐵路相連，中老兩國友誼歷久彌堅。如今這份友誼更加熠熠生輝，有賴于中老鐵路的建成通車，更有賴于克服了沿線地形條件復雜、氣候多變、交通運輸不便等困難，如期完成建設任務的默默無聞、辛勤付出的建設者們。從2016年中老鐵路正式開工建設，不計其數(shù)的建設者背井離鄉(xiāng)、將他鄉(xiāng)作故鄉(xiāng)，只為中老鐵路順利通車。

致敬建設者！如果要問建設者們的真心話，哪有人舍得放下家中的老父老母、哪有人舍得離開呀呀學語的孩子、哪有人舍得遠離繁華的大都市走進密林深處。但為了“一帶一路”倡議的落地落實，為了老撾從“陸鎖國”變?yōu)椤瓣懧?lián)國”，為了中老兩國的社會發(fā)展，建設者們將個人得失拋諸腦后、無怨無悔，將建設奇跡鋪滿“一帶一路”沿線。

為奇跡喝彩，致敬中老鐵路的建設者！

Our dream is going to come true as expected.In the extraordinary year of 2021, the China-Laos Railway open as scheduled.The China-Laos Railway is the first transnational railway adoping Chinese standards, utilizing Chinese technologies and equipment, constructed by China, and the first directly connected with China’s railway network with Chinese investment and joint operation.It is of huge scale and great significance.

A tribute should be paid to the builders! Crossing mountains and rivers, the China-Laos Railway consolidates the friendship between the people of the two countries.The opening of the China-Laos Railway should be credited to the humble and hard-working builders who have completed the construction tasks on schedule despite the complex terrain conditions, changeable climate, and inconvenient transportation along the railway.Since the construction of the China-Laos Railway started in 2016, multitudes of builders have left their homes for the smooth opening of the China-Laos Railway.

Hats off to the builders! For the implementation of the Belt and Road Initiative,for Laos to change from a “l(fā)and-locked country” to a “l(fā)and-linked country”, and for the social development of the two countries, they hardened their hearts to leave their families and came to the depths of the mountains from the prosperous metropolis.Regardless of personal gains and losses, they spread the miracle of construction along the Belt and Road without complaint.

Let’s applaud the miracle and pay tribute to the builders of the China-Laos Railway!
