On Sept 26, at the foot of the Great Wall, a new statue of Jeme Tien Yow, the "Father of China's Railroads", was unveiled in CRRC Beijing Nankou Co., Ltd., Beijing. Not far away, the first Chinese national railway, the Peking-Kalgan, gracefully wound through this one-hundred-year old company, China’s earliest State-owned railway factory. Thousands of employees participated in the unveiling ceremony.
