The fourth paragraph of the fifth lesson in the first volume of the sixth grade imitates Zhan Tianyou's composition of 200 words.
Zhan Tianyou, not afraid of difficulties and ridicule, resolutely accepted the task and began to survey the line. Where to cut mountains, where to build bridges, where to level steep slopes and where to reduce curvature all need to be investigated and carefully calculated. Zhan Tianyou often encourages the staff to say, "Our work must be accurate first, and we can't be a little sloppy. Statements like' probably' and' almost' should not come from engineers. " He personally took students and workers, carried benchmarks and theodolite, fixed points on the cliff, surveying and mapping. The Great Wall is often windy and dusty, and if you are not careful, you are in danger of falling into a deep valley. No matter how bad the conditions are, Zhan Tianyou always insists on working in the wild. Climb the mountain to survey the route during the day and draw and calculate under the oil lamp at night. In order to find a suitable route, he often asks local farmers. When encountering difficulties, he always thought: This is the first railway built by China people themselves, and it must be built; Otherwise, it will not only make foreigners laugh, but also make engineers in China lose confidence.
