A few days ago, the Ganzhou to Shenzhen section of the Beijing-Hong Kong high-speed railway was officially opened for operation, and the fastest railway travel time from Ganzhou to Shenzhen was compressed from 5 hours and 32 minutes to 1 hour and 49 minutes. The opening of the Ganzhou-Shenzhen high-speed railway has formed a fast passenger passage between the old revolutionary area in gannan and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and the former central Soviet area of Gansu, Fujian and Guangdong has ushered in new opportunities for development.
The Ganzhou-Shenzhen high-speed railway is an important part of The Beijing-Hong Kong Corridor of China's "Eight Vertical and Eight Horizontal" high-speed railway network, which is connected to the Changgan high-speed railway that has been put into operation in the north and the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong high-speed railway and the Hangzhou-Shenzhen high-speed railway in the south, forming a fast passenger channel connecting central China to the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. The opening of the Ganzhou-Shenzhen high-speed railway ended the history of Jiangxi Xinfeng, Longnan, Dingnan and Guangdong Heyuan without high-speed rail, and the number of railway corridors out of Jiangxi province reached 20, and Guangdong realized the "city-to-city high-speed railway". The opening of the Ganzhou-Shenzhen high-speed railway will further integrate the old revolutionary areas in southern Gannan into the national high-speed rail network, and help the "Soviet District + Bay Area" dual-district linkage development and run towards common prosperity.
The high mountains and long roads and traffic congestion were once a true portrayal of the development of the Gannan region. Along the direction of the Beijing-Kowloon Railway, another high-speed railway is built, pinning the ardent expectations of the people in the old area for a better life. Since the start of construction in December 2016, railway builders have opened roads in every mountain and built bridges in water, playing a song of struggle. Across thousands of mountains and rivers, bumpy changes, closer to the special zone, is closer to business opportunities, the fastest railway travel time from Ganzhou to Shenzhen is compressed from 5 hours and 32 minutes to 1 hour and 49 minutes, and the old revolutionary area of Gannan is instantly integrated into the "half-hour life circle" of the Greater Bay Area and the "two-hour economic circle" of Guangdong and Gansu under the drive of high-speed rail. This makes many Jiangxi people who are struggling in Shenzhen "close" to the journey home, and they can easily realize their desire to work hard in the Greater Bay Area and return to their hometown to buy a house and settle down.
The "special zones" holding hands with the "old areas" will change the contradictions of unbalanced economic development between regions and promote common prosperity from vision to reality. Jiangxi has a rich labor force, is China's labor export province, and has great advantages in undertaking the transfer of industries along the southeast coast. Due to the limited traffic conditions in Jiangxi and Guangdong, some enterprises take into account factors such as distance and cost, and there are not many investors in Jiangxi. With the official opening of the Ganzhou-Shenzhen high-speed railway, these will be solved, and Jiangxi will attract more and more pearl river delta enterprises to invest. At the same time, Jiangxi is rich in tourism resources and has a deep red cultural heritage, after the opening of the high-speed rail, it will further release the tourism resource dividend, attract more Pearl River Delta tourists to jiangxi tourism, further enhance the competitiveness of "Gannan Su District" tourism, and open the "acceleration" of the revitalization and development of the old area.
The "special zone" holds hands with the "old district", continues the red gene, adheres to the spirit of the special zone, and opens a new model of linkage development. The old revolutionary base area in Gannan is the birthplace of new China and the solid ideological and spiritual cornerstone of the proletarian revolutionaries of the older generation in our country, and the foundation of red culture is deeply rooted here. In addition to the high-quality red tourism resources, the old revolutionary area of Gannan also has rich mineral resources and ecological resources. However, compared with the forefront of reform and opening up in the Pearl River Delta, there is still room for improvement in terms of business concepts, market concepts, and service concepts. After the opening of the Gansu-Shenzhen high-speed railway, it will greatly enhance the exchanges between the people of the two places, promote the change of concepts, and further promote the degree of reform, opening up and marketization in Jiangxi.
As the vanguard of reform and opening up, Shenzhen has created a miracle of economic development, and the Ganzhou-Shenzhen high-speed railway has allowed the "special zone" to successfully hold hands with the "old area", Gansu and Guangdong are in the same heart, people and goods are free to travel, the special zone is the first to demonstrate, and the future prospects of the old area are unlimited... It is believed that the Ganzhou-Shenzhen high-speed railway will carry the beautiful expectations of the people along the line and the pride of the new journey of striving forward, and will surely continue the new miracle of common prosperity.
