Text bottom-left reads: The Lanxin Railway has a total length of more than 2800 kilometers. In July 1954, the railway was built to Anyuanyi, the capital of Tianzhu Tibetan Autonomous Region, Gansu Province. When the railway was built into the Tianzhu Tibetan Autonomous Region, the Tibetan people felt infinite joy. Judging by the surprised expressions of the characters in the painting, we can imagine that the train in the distance is approaching and will soon pass in front of them.
