From a single line to an extensive network. In the early 20th century, starting with the Tangshan-Xugezhuang Railway, the Peking-Mukedun Railway, Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway, Beijing-Hankou Railway and Tientsin-Pukow Railway were successively built, forming the four major early railway trunk lines in China today, the development has grown from the "Four Vertical and Four Horizontal" framework to the "Eight Vertical and Eight Horizontal" layout. Railways have evolved from the Peking-Mukedun Railway to the Tianjin-Qinhuangdao High Speed Railway and the Beijing-Tianjin Intercity Railway, from the Beijing-Hankou Railway to the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway, and from the Tientsin-Pukow Railway to the Beijing-Shanghai High Speed Railway. The total railway operation mileage in China has exceeded 150,000 kilometers, with more than 40,000 kilometers of high speed rail, securing its place as the world's largest high speed railway network. Beijing, which began with its first train station at Zhengyangmendong Railway Station, has now, over the course of a century, formed a "seven-star configuration" with key stations including Beijing Railway Station, Beijingxi Railway Station, Beijingbei Railway Station, Beijingnan Railway Station, Beijing Chaoyang Railway Station, Beijing Fengtai Railway Station and Qinghe Railway Station.
From the breakthrough of independently designing and building railways to reaching the world's most advanced levels, the speed of China's railways has accelerated from 35 km/h to 350 km/h. The Fuxing EMU trains now race across the vast landscape of the country, transforming the geography of the nation and becoming an essential part of countless people's pursuit of their dreams.
