談2010年我給奧巴馬總統的一封建議美國如何高鐵的信

可惜，奧巴馬總統沒有接納我的「高鐵」建議，不然.....
(談2010年我給總統的一封建議搞美國高鐵的信）
今天看到媒體發的一則「中國高鐵通美國? 美國人驚嘆眼睜睜被甩 」的新聞，心裡感到十分震動，激蕩不已。想起在2010年10月份，我曾經寫過一封親筆信給奧巴馬總統，建議他出面領導搞一個三維度的空中高鐵，當時可以說是思緒萬千，連夜挑燈夜戰，伏案秉筆，此情此景還歷歷在目。因為，當時他在第一任期開始的時候，曾經信誓旦旦說過要在他的總統生涯內要推動建設美國的高鐵！他的發誓，的的確確打動了我。我毅然決然的就把我在上海形成的想法，通過私人信件的形式寄信給了總統，著著實實的談了不同於其他國家的高鐵建設的想法，去盡一個美國公民的責任。
我在給奧巴馬總統的信里談到了我的為美國高鐵建設的獨特構想，為什麼要建一個間於有飛機又有間於有軌交通的三維高速交通運載新工具（The new project as the aerospace transportations that I will submit is an Air-train system 空中高鐵系統）。並列舉了建設它的5大好處，
1. 政治上，保持美國在全球領先地位，恢復美國人的大國雄心，為紐約申辦奧運會創造條件；
2. 經濟上，建造新的工業體系；打造新的國內和國際的高鐵建設的市場；通過加強對三維空中高鐵的研發和製造，從而加大當時奧巴馬總統倡導的基礎建設的力度去增加美國的就業率。
3. 外交上，佔領非洲和南美洲的空中高鐵市場，鞏固和加強對這些大洋和國家的外交聯繫。
4. 國家安全和反恐措施上，由於空中高鐵系統是一個有軌的空中高速運行系統，像人們搭地鐵一樣方便，不用像在機場做那麼繁瑣的安檢，因此安全成本會大大降低。
5. 環保上，由於是有軌的空中高速運行系統是城市於城市之間通過中低空中聯繫，不用建道路，橋樑，涵洞，所以不會毀壞和損害江湖，河流，森林，農田，因此環保是過硬的。
我連續寫了兩封信給總統，但是總統沒有給我回信，只是2011年的時候第一夫人蜜雪兒，給我回了一封信，信中熱情的鼓勵我。由於沒有得到總統的迴音，這樣我所準備的空中高鐵系統的具體設想，草圖也沒辦法與他們交流了。在奧巴馬總統第二任期成功以後我又發了一封信給他，可是石沉大海，渺無音信，我就心灰意冷了。
如果我的想法當時能夠得到尊重，也許今天美國的高鐵計劃會有一番不同的境像，不至於美國人抱怨美國的沒有高鐵了。
今天看到的新聞，心情激動，有感而發。
附：當時給奧巴馬總統的信內容。

                                                                                Oct. 30, 2010
Dear President Obama:
        I'll support you forever. Typically for your current election campaign I'll do my best.
        I think that the best propaganda for winning this election is how to create job opportunities in US, while my creative idea may provide more than 100,000 job opportunities for the people of United States.
Not only every day and night people in New York are distressed with heavy traffic jam to Washington bridge, Holland tunnel, Lincoln tunnel, but also it occurs daily at all over the streets, high ways and subways in our country and world.
However, I have found a new way to solve this problem of the gridlock of ground traffic in metropolitan areas.
Let us live brighter and let us fly!
The new project as the aerospace transportations that I will submit is an Air-train system that will solve these problems. This Air-train or bus is hold by wires.  The driving force of Air train or Air bus may be propeller-driven or jet-propelled. It is effective, feasible and realistic.
Actually my creative inspiration came as I was taking a taxi on the way to the EXPO in Shanghai, China in this summer. Being stuck in a traffic jam, I thought to myself, why don』t we use the three dimensional space up in the air, rather than clustering at the ground level where the space is limited?
For the new era, this subject revolutionary technique could miraculously convert the traditional two dimensional ground transportations to three dimensional aerospace transportations.
This should be the direction of new era transportation development to humankind. This revolutionary technology promises safe carry capacity of the passengers; but also protects natural environments and lowers the cost for its construction to skip building bridges, rails and tunnels. Most importantly, we are able to find a new way to overcome the gridlock of ground traffic in metropolitan areas on our planet.
In modern societies, cars and trucks jamming streets, roads and highways creates stress for their people. The subways and fast speeds trains seem not to have improved the situation much.
To develop highways, fast speed train and subways, more and more mountains, forests, farm fields and waters in our natural environments have been damaged.   People painfully pay off huge prices there. The magnetic suspension trains in the future would cost further more damages.
The air- train will give a brand new direction for the development of modern transportations, which is to fully utilize the air space and therefore,   to improve urban traffic and cities to cities transports by three-dimensional air space. It』s more advantageous than the others as demonstrated by Table1 and Table2 below.
Table1: Transportation Vehicles (Cities to Cities)
        Speed (Km/hour)       
Method        Cost of Construction        Damage on Environment        Carrying Capacity        Security
Air-Train        500-600?        On air with  wires        +        +        +        ++
General Train        100-150        Rail on ground        +        ++        +        ++
Fast Speed Train        300-380        Rail on ground        ++        ++        +        ++
Magnetic Suspension Train        400-450        Rail on ground        +++        +++        +        +
Airplane        >1300        On air        ++        +        +        +



Table2: Transportation Vehicles (Metropolitan Urban)
        Speed (Km/hour)       
Method        Cost of Construction        Damage on Environment        Carrying Capacity        Security
Air-Bus        100-150        On air with  wires        +        +        ++        ++
Subway        30-50        Under ground        +++        +        +        ++
Motor Car        60-100        On ground        +        +        +        ++
Automobile        30-50        On ground        +        ++        +        ++

More importantly it will solve problems occurred during developing of public transportation, the excessive construction of bridges, tunnels, and rails that not only cost a huge sum of money and also the amount of time it takes for the projects to complete. It is also gentle to our environment, creating little damages comparing to subways, speed trains, etc.
Germany and Japan have been the leaders in developing rail transportations and holding core technologies of fast speed trains and magnetic suspension trains. Those core technologies including their products have already helped both great countries to obtain the economic and political interests in the world. At the same time, China catches up rapidly to the first rank of the positions hold by both Germany and Japan in recent years. She not only has the first magnetic suspension train (450km/hour) in Pudong, Shanghai, and also the fastest speed train (380km/hour) on soil in around mainland China. Recently, China has a straddling bus to improve cities traffic, too.
China now is planning to export her excellent techniques and products to the world, typically to aim in Africa and South America markets, even to USA. Therefore, China will increase her influence to the world. It demonstrates her ambitious.
Facing the aggressive competition and keeping up as the leading country as in the world, USA has to carry on the great inventor Mr. Thomas Alva Edison』s spirit to find the new way to face the challenges and retake the position with the glorious in former days.
To regain the glories and reputation of innovation and invention of number one country, our project is able to provide following benefits:
1.        Political
To keep the United States on the leading position of the world, and rebuild confidence to the US people; benefits for applications of Olympic 2020 in New York and Expo2020 in Silicon Valley.
2.        Economic
To create brand new systemic industries of three dimensional aerospace transportations
Commercial value is huge
There is a new huge transport market for domestic and overseas
To increase job opportunities by R & D and manufacture
Supporting your Infrastructure project recently
3.        Diplomatic
Occupying African and South American air train transport markets will increase USA influence in those continents and countries, which will simultaneously prevent the other countries from stepping into those continents.
4.        Safety and Securities
Because the air train is not ease to fall and break in the sky with the special designation and struction of the project, the level of the safety measure of the air trains is similar to subways and trains, which is different to airplanes.
In general, once the airplanes are hijacked in the sky, the airplanes are totally controlled by the hijacker to hit any object, for instance, the 911 event. However, even if in situations when the Air-trains were hijacked, hijackers would not able to hit any objects.
5.        Low-Carbon Society
This public convenient transportation will provide chances to people to give up driving their personal cars, so that waste gas discharge will decline.
Dearest president:
I love you because you love your people;
I adore you because you have no any inheritance of Great Britain but you are the first black president of United States of America.
I sympathy you because many people in US do not understand that you are doing great right thing.
I support you with practical actions to make contribution to people of United States because you are leading us overcome difficulty for our country.
To develop this great project, personnel capacities are limited to complete all. Therefore, it must be teams work. However, country』s will, conduct and power are much better than companies will, conduct and power. To lift up competitive force China usually puts her country』s will and power to develop big projects such as the well known 863 plans. The effects are obvious.
Thus I will only tell you about all details of this project when I meet with you.
Only you can speed up the development of the new transportation project in order to compete the other countries; only you can effectively organize the projects.
Let our humankind living get reborn! It could look like match to the innovations in history, such as the first steam engine train in UK 200 years ago, or the first subway train in New York, or the first automobile, or the first airplane in USA 100 years ago; it could even match to the milestone of humankind』s rocket to the moon at half century ago.
It would be an honor to be invited by you to display my project idea in your presence.
God blesses America!
Best regards
Sincerely
