"The road to Sichuan is as difficult as climbing to the sky" is a chant that people have expressed about the traffic conditions in Sichuan and Chongqing for thousands of years. On July 1, 1952, the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway was opened to traffic, and the history of "difficult roads in Shu" changed from then on! The wheels rolled and the whistle blew. Over the past 70 years, from green cars to Fuxing, the road network between Chengdu and Chongqing has been crisscrossed, and the distance in time and space has been getting closer.
Tonight (26th), the large-scale TV series " all the way forward ", jointly produced by Chengdu Media Group and its subsidiary Chengdu Tianfu Film Co., Ltd. and based on the construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway, was broadcast on cctv8 prime time.
The play is written by Liu Xiaowei and Hu Shouwen, directed by Xi Xin, starring Li Jian, Lian Lian, Zhang Su, etc. It focuses on the heroic deeds of the first-generation railway pioneers such as Luo Xiangqian, looking back at the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway. The past struggles during the construction process reproduce the construction scenes of that year. After the drama
was aired, it won the recognition of many viewers with its compact plot and solid performances of the actors. "This railway is so hard-won and very touching" and "the actors' performances are very real."
Sun Yisun, a consultant for "All the Way" and who had participated in the construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway, also waited in front of the TV to watch on time. "I am also a participant in this show and told the screenwriters and directors many stories from that year. It’s very good and true!”
“After Sichuan is liberated, we must build the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway” “I move forward, the party asks me to kill the enemy, so I charge forward; the party asks me to build the railway, I will never look back... "Tonight's broadcast of "All the Way Forward" begins with the story about how after the liberation of Chongqing, the PLA Pioneer Company Commander Luo Xiangqian led his troops to fight against the remnants of the Kuomintang. After a fierce battle, the steel plant was finally saved. In the subsequent plot, Luo Xiangqian and his comrades received an urgent mission to participate in the construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway.

"I saw many shadows of the builders of the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway in Luo Xiangqian, and the TV series was well filmed!" Sun Yisun told the Red Star News reporter in 1950 , the 17-year-old went out to drill with his comrades from the Second Field Army University as usual, but the army leader suddenly asked him to go out on an urgent mission.
"I have no idea where I am going or what I am going to do." By the time he hurried to the playground of the Southwest Military Region dozens of miles away, Deng Xiaoping, Liu Bocheng, He Long and other leaders were already standing on the rostrum, and the guards quickly led him He stood in the front row of the line.
He looked up and saw the words "Chengdu-Chongqing Railway Groundbreaking Ceremony", and then he realized that he was assigned to the second regiment directly under the first column of the Southwest Military Region's Military Road Construction Column and went to the construction front line.
"Maybe the TV series will show Luo Xiangqian's reluctance to build the railway in order to show dramatic conflicts, but at the time we had no other ideas. Soldiers must obey orders." Sun Yisun said that the TV series "All the Way" is very good , almost filling a gap, filming the story of the construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway, allowing today's young people to know those unnamed heroes.
