厲害了這家人! 祖孫三代都是火車司機!

Like father, like son. Three generations of a family have all worked for China's railways, a mirror of the country's development from steam power to internal combustion engines and finally to electricity.

有其父，必有其子。一家祖孫三代都爲中國鐵路服務，從蒸汽機到內燃機，再到電力機，它是一面鏡子，見證了中國的飛速發展。

Jiang Fulin was among the family's first generation of train drivers. Working for a Nanjing unit under Shanghai Railway Administration beginning in 1956, he traveled across the country with steam trains for the next 27 years.

姜福臨是這家的第一代火車駕駛員，自1956年開始，他就在上海鐵路局南京機務段開火車，他駕駛着蒸汽機，穿梭在大江南北，一開就是27年。

His son Jiang Aishun recalled that his father used to come back with dirty clothes but leave home and return to work again with clean ones thanks to his mother.

他的兒子姜愛舜還記得，父親每次下班回到家都是滿身的油污，但他再上班時，總能穿上母親洗得乾乾淨淨的工作服。

The son was also fascinated with the sound of trains, so he followed in his father's footsteps to become a train driver, although steam was replaced with more powerful internal combustion and electricity engines. He no longer worried about dirty clothes.

兒子姜愛舜對火車的聲音也很着迷，所以他追隨父親的腳步，也當了一名火車司機，不同的是內燃機、電力車替代了蒸汽機，再也不會擔心衣服滿是油污了。

The third generation, Qu Junjie, who holds his mother's family name, continued the passion for trains since a young age.

再到孫子瞿俊傑（隨母姓），自小就對開火車有了深深的嚮往。

But his father Jiang Aishun didn't support his career choice at the beginning as he thought the work was quite tiring and required constant night shifts.

但老爸姜愛舜一開始堅決反對，因爲他知道開火車很辛苦，要不分白天黑夜地上班。

Qu insisted and became a driver in 2011 on a high-speed train. These three generations have driven trains for a combined 56 years, witnessing great strides in China's railway industry.

瞿俊傑一直堅持，終於在2011年如願以償成了一名高鐵司機。姜家祖孫三代一共開了56年的火車，見證了中國交通事業的飛速發展。

The combined length of China's high speed railways surpassed 22,000 kilometers by the end of 2016, with the total national railway length now stretching 124,000 kilometers, according to China Railway Corp.

據中國鐵路總公司表示，至2016年底，中國高鐵的總長度已超過22000公里，國家鐵路總長度現已延伸至124000公里。
