China’s Chengdu-Kunming Railroad
In order to move the minerals and other raw materials to factories, and to move military-industrial products to their destinations, railway projects were constructed throughout the Third Line defense areas. Hundreds of thousands of workers were mobilized to complete these railways, through the railway corps or “Tiedao Bing.” The Chengdu-Kunming railroad is the most famous of these lines because of its exceptional engineering adaptation to rugged terrain, and the challenges facing the workers who built it.

"背上了行装扛起了枪，(Carrying our firearms and bags, )
雄壮的队伍浩浩荡荡。(let's march on with the brigade. )
同志呀，你要问我们哪里去？(Comrade, where are we headed?)
我们要到祖国最需要的地方！(To the part of our mother land that needs us the most!)"
