CREC4 technicians show surveying tools used in building the Xining-Chengdu railway to a young Tibetan woman in Gansu province. The technicians from CREC4 Seventh Engineering were surveying the terrain in Luchu county under Gannan Tibetan autonomous prefecture, preparing to help build the Xining-Chengdu railway, which links Northwest China's Qinghai and Gansu provinces with Sichuan province in Southwest China. The CREC4 staff members officially started their work on Oct 26, 2022, embarking on their six-yearlong task, with 255 managerial employees and 1,376 construction workers, said Guan Lei, Party secretary for the first division of CREC4's railway project for the Xining-Chengdu railway. "My sincere thanks go to the CREC4 project department, which not only helps me master my skills, but also hands me 6,300 yuan each month for my salary, helping improve my family's income," she said. In addition to building the railway, CREC4 employees help locals of the Tibetan ethnic group overall, said Xing Jiang, an office director from CREC4 Seventh Engineering.
