摘要

The Tōkaidō Shinkansen, the world’s first high-speed railroad, opened in October 1964, just before the Tōkyō Olympics. The Tōkaidō Shinkansen symbolized Japan’s postwar technological strength and rapid economic growth. Its success brought about a worldwide reevaluation of high-speed rail. Since then, other countries have followed and focused on high-speed rail, including TGV in France (opened in 1981), ICE in Germany (opened in 1991), KTX in South Korea (opened in 2004), Taiwan’s high-speed rail (opened in 2007), and China’s high-speed rail (opened in 2007).
