Central Government calls on the whole nation to help developing
the western part of China at the change of the centuries, which
is the golden age for the developing of China's western regions
as well as that of Lanzhou. In the past fifty years, Lanzhou met
with three opportunites to develop itself. In the 1950's, the
railway from Tianshui via Lanzhou to Xinjiang was completed and
started openation.Lanzhou. University was determined as one of
the key comprehensive universities in China. In the same period,
Lanzhou Modern Physis Research Institute, the Chemical Physics
Research Institute, the Plateau Atmosphere Physics Research Institute,
the Desert Geology & Glacier and Frozen Earth Research Institute
under Cinese Academy of Sciences were Founded in Lanzou. 16 items
among 156 major construction projects aided by the former Soviet
Union were built in Lanzhou and Gansu Province. All the above
mentioned offered efficient professional personnel and technical
achievements for the construction and development of Lanazhou
in aspects of technology, education and culture. Lanzhou became
a new industrial base in China. In the 1960's, the construcion
of the rear areas promoted the development of the national defense
industrial and machinery manufactory industry in Lanzhou. Adhering
to Marxism, Mao Zedong's thought and the principle of seeking
truth from facts which is originated from Deng Xiaoping's Theory,
Lanzhou Municipal Government has freed itself from old ideas,
changed its concepts since thd 1970's, especially since China's
reform and opening up. Thus, the economic and social development
has been promoted greatly with brilliant achievements. Today,
the strategy of developing western China has provided the fourth
opportunity to Lanzhou's development in its history. |
