坦讚鐵路開工典禮現場
Commencement Ceremony of TAZARA
1970年10月26日和28日，中國援建的坦讚鐵路分別在起點和終點舉行了盛大的開工典禮。
Grand commencement ceremony of TAZARA was held at the starting point and ending point of the railway on October 26 and 28 respectively in 1970.
坦讚鐵路始於坦尚尼亞的達累斯薩拉姆，終至尚比亞的卡皮裏姆波希，全長1860.5公里，是一條貫通東非和中南非的大幹線，被非洲人民稱為“自由之路”、“友誼支路”。中、坦、讚三國人民在千里施工線上甘苦與共、並肩戰鬥，衝破一切艱難險阻，歷時五年八個月，終於提前完成全線鋪軌任務。
Running 1,860.5 km from Tanzania's Dar es Salaam in the east to KapiriMposhi in central Zambia in the west, TAZARA is the mainrail lineconnecting East Africa with the central and southern parts of the continent reputed among the Africans as the "Railway ofFreedom" and the "Railway of Friendship". The workers from China, Tanzania and Zambia worked side by side to break through all difficulties and obstacles along the rail and finally completed the track laying in advance within five years and eight months.

中國專家墓誌銘
The Epitaph for Chinese Experts
20世紀60年代，坦尚尼亞和尚比亞喜獲獨立，但仍面臨外部勢力封鎖，渴盼鐵路通道。尼雷爾和卡翁達總統求助毛澤東主席，定下中國援建大計。5萬多名中國工程技術人員與坦讚人民一道，夜以繼日，攻堅克難，于1976年建成全長1860.5公里的坦讚鐵路，共有65名中國專家獻出寶貴生命。坦讚鐵路被譽為“自由之路”，是中國對非洲的偉大貢獻和中非友誼的豐碑。為此獻身的中國專家義薄雲天，雖死猶生。長江為之高歌，乞力馬扎羅山為之仰頌。用鮮血與生命鑄成的中非友誼萬古長青！

Though Tanzania and Zambia won independence in 1960s, they were still facing the blockage of outside forces and were eager to build a railway channel. President Julius KambarageNyerere and President Kenneth David Kaunda asked Chairman Mao Zedong for help. They finally made the strategic decision that China should finance and undertake the construction of the Tanzania-Zambia Railway. More than 50,000 Chinese engineers and technicians worked side by side with the people in Tanzania and Zambia. For days and nights, they overcame great difficulties and completed the construction of TAZARA of 1,860.5 km long in 1976. During the construction process, in total 65 Chinese experts, technicians and workers lost their lives. Reputed as the "Railway of Freedom", TAZARA is a great contribution of China to Africa and a historic witness to China-Africa friendship. The Chinese dedicated their lives to this great cause show high morality reaching up to the clouds and their spirits shall live forever. Even the Yangtze River and the Mount Kilimanjaro sing the praise for them. The China-Africa friendship forged with blood and life will live forever.
