I can't tell you how many railway stations have petty bourgeoisie amorous feelings in China, but such as Lushun, Yabuli South, Hengdaohezi and Jilin West, they are definitely railway stations with petty bourgeoisie amorous feelings.
Own style Jilin West
Get the moon first by being close to the water. After all, Jilin West Railway Station is not far from me. It's a pleasure to taste this railway station designed by Lin Huiyin, a famous design master and talented woman. Just leave, meet friends and drive straight to Jilin.
Office area of Jilin West Railway Station
In early winter, the snowflakes on the ground have melted into mud. Trees near distant mountains are rendered into a faint landscape painting under the action of snowflakes. Through the noisy city, a Gothic building appeared in our eyes. This railway station, which used to be named "Ba Bai Ba", "Huangqitun" and "Longhai Railway Terminal", just stood there quietly.
Floor tiles that have been used for nearly a hundred years.
The tower in the cold wind, like a lady, dressed in a light yellow coat, welcomes guests from all directions and tells people the memorable history.
The terrazzo dado that was artificially ground in those days.
Zhang Zuoxiang's actions aroused strong dissatisfaction among the Japanese. Not only did they not agree to connect the Longhai Railway under construction with the Nanman Railway at Jilin Railway Station, but they also refused to use the Nanman Railway under their control to transport the building materials needed for the construction of Longhai Railway. In an attempt to strangle the railway built by China people in the cradle. It is precisely because of this that China has to start a new stove and build its own railway station here.
Iron art is used for local heat. There is a flue under it.
It is against this background that Lin Huiyin, a talented woman who returned to China, resolutely undertook the design task of the railway station.
With the consent of the railway authorities and the guidance of the station staff, we walked slowly into this 90-year-old railway station.
This used to be a fireplace. The flue becomes geothermal through underground pipes.
We were surprised to find that the floor tiles laid on the ground in those days were still radiant. Crimson plum blossoms and blue and white fine buds are cleverly spliced together, giving people an indescribable aesthetic feeling. After more than 90 years, it is still like a refreshing carpet, still emitting a faint luster.
At that time, the height of the ticket window was just as high as a person's standing posture, which met the requirements of human mechanics.
Not only the ground is still glorious, but the dado and skirting lines on both sides are all artificially ground with terrazzo, which looks intact. I am afraid that the smoothness and arc of its surface are difficult to achieve today's construction level. It is hard to believe that this is an office building that is still in use today. Old doors and windows, although painted many times, still operate freely.
At that time, the luggage check-in office had a low table top, which was convenient for people to check their luggage.
Passing through the office area is the ticket hall of that year. On the north side of the hall is the ticket window. The height of the window is just as high as a person's standing posture, which is in line with the requirements of human mechanics. Opposite it, it is the place where passengers check their luggage. The window is much lower than the ticket gate, in order to facilitate passengers to carry their luggage.
It is said that the whole building looks like a lying lion from the air. Here is the lion head and the tower is the lion tail. The meaning is profound.
Some people say that a woman's heart is meticulous, while beauty Lin Huiyin has her own humanistic feelings.
At the foot of the ticket office, there is a circle of wrought iron hollowed out in the middle. At first, I thought it was a funnel for launching. But I feel strange that the ticket hall at the station is not a bathing hall. Where can such a big "funnel" be used? The staff at the station seemed to see my doubts and told me that this was not a launching funnel, but the "geothermal" of that year.
It turned out that there was a fireplace next door, and the flue of the fireplace passed through the underground pipeline. The heat in the pipeline is radiated through these wrought irons to heat the ticket hall in winter.
Passengers who have checked their luggage can come to the waiting hall. If we look at the waiting hall from the current perspective, it is too small, but it is more than 100 square meters. But if you look closely, you will find that this waiting hall has a high dome and a wide lighting glass on one side, which makes people feel very comfortable and spacious.
The whole building faces south and looks like a lying lion. The main building is a square stone structure, and the roof is a folded wooden roof. In the past, the roof was covered with glazed tiles, but unfortunately it was replaced in later maintenance. The whole building is dominated by red, white and Huang San colors, which looks neat and graceful. It not only has the elegant demeanour of western Gothic architecture, but also has the charm of China elements, combining Chinese and western, and bringing out the best in each other. No wonder Andy Lau chose this place as the shooting location in "Love in Heaven 3".
The completion of Longhai Railway Terminal and Longhai Railway has formed a railway transportation line with a length of 183 km in the eastern part of Jilin and Liaoning, which has effectively countered the Japanese forces in the three northeastern provinces and failed the Japanese plot to control the Northeast Railway alone.
Standing by the railway next to the station building, looking at the railway extending into the distance, it seems that people have seen Lin Huiyin's busy figure and her good intentions in designing the station as a lying lion. China, the lion, has woken up, and the future world can't live without China. China, rise!
