On the occasion of the residency, I delve into the history of the Chengdu Railway as a metaphor for China’s march towards modernization. From its conception in the late Qing Dynasty through the upheaval of the Railway Protection Movement, to the complexities of the Republican era, and the final realization in 1952, the Chengdu-Chongqing railway embodies the transformative journey of a nation.
