In addition, the China Zhan Tianyou Civil Engineering Award, primary school texts, movies, etc. are named after Zhan Tianyou.

The number of people in the world is called Zhan Tianyou, which Zhan Tianyou are you talking about? But what is certain is that they are all Chinese!

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, China designed its first railway of its own.

Expert in modern railway engineering in China.

Zhan Tianyou belonged to the end of the Qing Dynasty.

Zhan Tianyou, the word is sincere. He was born in 1861 in Nanhai County, Guangdong. On July 8, 1872, at the age of 12, Zhan Tianyou studied in the United States as one of the first batch of Chinese government-run students to study in the United States.

In 1881, he graduated from Yale University with honors, and graduated with a bachelor's degree in the study of "A Study of Dock Cranes", and returned to China in the same year.

After returning to China, Zhan Tianyou entered the Mawei Shipbuilding School to study, and after completing his studies, he was sent to the Fujian Navy Division's flagship "Yangwu" as a gunner and participated in the Battle of Mawei. After the war, he was transferred to the Whampoa Naval Academy to teach.

Zhan Tianyou deeply felt the lack of engineering and technical personnel in China, and cherished and trained the young people of the Shanhaiguan Railway Official School (now Southwest Jiaotong University) in many ways, so that they grew rapidly in the construction of Beijing-Zhangzhou Road, and many students became the technical backbone of Zhan Tianyou's supervision on the Hanyuechuan Railway.

Zhan Tianyou (1861-1919), a native of Nanhai, Foshan.

He was the father of China's railways and the father of China's modern engineering technology, and built the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway. He also founded the Chinese Society of Engineers, which is dedicated to the writing and development of standards for engineering technology.

The first batch of students to study in the United States built the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway.

Zhan Tianyou attended a private school as a child, and at the age of 12, he became one of the first Chinese students to study in the United States. According to the records of "Foshan People", the first batch of students who went abroad to study abroad at that time were not as beautiful as studying abroad now, and they were facing an uncertain fate of life and death. Zhan Tianyou's father drew a pledge on a certificate of going abroad that stated "If there is an illness and life and death, each has a destiny", and Zhan Tianyou went to study alone in the United States.

He was admitted to Yale University's Department of Civil Engineering to study railway engineering, and graduated from Yale University with the first place in mathematics. According to legend, Zhan Tianyou, who returned to China after 9 years, met his father in the vegetable market, but they didn't know each other for many years.

In 1905, the Qing court decided that the Chinese would build the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway on their own, and Zhan Tianyou was appointed chief engineer. Thus, the "father of China's railway" was born, after 4 years, Zhan Tianyou designed the "human" herringbone line, two years ahead of the original plan, the total cost is only one-fifth of the foreign contractor's price of the "amazing" results successfully built the Beijing-Zhangjiakou railway, since then has been recorded in history. Zhan Tianyou also promoted the publication of the "New Anglo-Chinese Engineering Vocabulary" dictionary, which includes Zhan Tianyou's English-Chinese engineering vocabulary accumulated over the past 20 years.
