Crossing Mountains and Seas, Deep Affection between Families and Countries - China's Overseas Builders Writing the 'Song of the New Era'

2024-10-08   

In the golden autumn of October, our country and family are united, and the People's Republic of China celebrates its 75th anniversary. The vast land of China plays a new era of vigorous and vigorous movements. Thousands of miles away, thousands of miles away, Chinese builders have crossed mountains and seas, devoted themselves to the construction of the "development path", "dream bridge", and "prosperous port", and sent birthday wishes to the motherland with a high spirited and enterprising attitude. On the morning of the 2nd, Ren Ke, the manager of the Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Management Department of the Central Business District project in Egypt's new administrative capital, came to the project office building to inspect the mechanical and electrical systems. During the National Day holiday, as the project entered the final stage of internal decoration, partial mechanical and electrical equipment, and pipeline connection, it was also the busiest time for Ren Ke as the project's mechanical and electrical "escort". Egypt's new administrative capital CBD project is a model of China Egypt cooperation under the "the Belt and Road" initiative. Egyptian Prime Minister Madbri referred to this project as a symbol of friendship between Egypt and China. He stated that Chinese companies use and promote advanced management models and construction technologies, which drive local employment and promote the development of Egyptian industries. "It was under the initiative of jointly building the the Belt and Road that I was able to participate in many overseas large-scale projects and achieve personal growth and progress in the struggle." In 2013, Ren Ke joined the overseas team of China Construction Eighth Engineering Bureau Co., Ltd. (CSCEC Eighth Engineering Bureau) under the "the Belt and Road" initiative. In the past 11 years, from "Xiaobai" in the industry to being the sole leader, Ren Ke laughingly said that he was a "peer" who grew up together with the "the Belt and Road". In the eyes of Mahmoud Hakim, Ren Ke's "foreign disciple", the fighting spirit of his "master" is the most infectious. After joining the team, Manager Ren taught me step by step, allowing me to learn a lot of on-site installation and quality management skills. I sincerely thank my Chinese master! China's development cannot be separated from the world, and the prosperity of the world also needs China. Over the past 11 years, the initiative of jointly building the "the Belt and Road" has provided a broad stage for ambitious and courageous Chinese youth like Ren Ke to struggle and grow overseas, and has also demonstrated to the world China's sincere desire for win-win cooperation with other countries. Raise the national flag, sing the national anthem, show respect, and offer blessings. This is a special arrangement made by Chinese employee Shi Zhihui and colleagues of the Kribi Deepwater Port project in Cameroon on the morning of October 1st. After the flag raising ceremony, he immediately returned to his post and began preparing the materials needed for the meeting with the owners that day. "My 11 years in Africa are also the 11 years that the the Belt and Road Initiative has blossomed and borne fruit in Africa. We hope to use our efforts to win more praise for our motherland," he said. Shi Zhihui joined China Harbour Engineering Co., Ltd. in 2013 and personally participated in and witnessed the historic changes of the project location from a small fishing village to a major port in Central Africa. On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the construction of the second phase of the Kribi Deepwater Port project is entering its final sprint stage. Driven by the deep-water port and the dredging expressway, industrial parks behind the port are also emerging. Teach them to fish, and even more so, teach them to fish. Learning new knowledge, mastering new skills, and honing real abilities... Shi Zhihui not only grew into a skilled worker and expert in his field overseas, but also imparted his skills and experience to him, leading him to become a "proud disciple" - Cameroonian youth Eric Elman Defu Focuo. Under the leadership of Shi Zhihui, Fucuo quickly grew from an ordinary employee to a project technical consultant in just a few years. From transportation and energy to electricity and housing, Chinese builders have implemented a number of landmark projects and "small but beautiful" projects in Africa, creating a large number of job opportunities and striving to improve people's livelihoods. With their hard work and determination, they have tightened the bond of win-win cooperation between China and Africa. During the National Day holiday, Wang Hantao, the project manager of China Railway 20th Bureau Group Co., Ltd. (China Railway 20th Bureau) in Peru, diligently completed his daily mandatory course - carefully inspecting the growth status of trees along the Andes National Highway project in Peru. At an altitude of 500 meters, European beech trees that prefer light and temperature are most suitable for growth. Eucalyptus trees with weak cold resistance cannot continue to be planted at an altitude of over 1500 meters... "Wang Hantao, who has been transferred to the forestry management of the construction site for less than a year, has become a" landscape expert "in the eyes of his colleagues for the" personality "of every seedling in the Andes Mountains. Due to spanning multiple latitudes and altitudes, the Andes National Highway constructed by China Railway 20th Bureau in Peru is home to a diverse range of species. How to protect the original ecological environment of the Andes Mountains while building a high-quality highway is a must answer question for Wang Hantao and his colleagues. The ecological environment cannot be damaged due to construction Since December last year, Wang Hantao led his colleagues to popularize forest protection knowledge to tens of thousands of project employees and residents along the route. To protect the native forests along the line, he and the staff of the secret recipe marked the trees within the red line one by one, implemented "relocation" using advanced transplanting technology, and then moved them back to their original positions for careful care after the construction was completed. The firm commitment of Chinese enterprises to environmental protection has resulted in three consecutive thank-you letters from the Forestry Bureau of Vanuatu Province, where the project is located. The letter states that Chinese companies are responsible and accountable international contractors, actively fulfilling their social responsibility and environmental commitments, cultivating a large number of skilled workers for Peru, and making significant contributions to the protection of forests in the Andes Mountains. Continuously deepening cooperation in green infrastructure, green energy, green transportation and other fields, Chinese builders actively promote and model the concept of "green mountains and clear waters are as valuable as mountains of gold and silver", striving to help the countries where the projects are located find a win-win development path for economic development and ecological environment protection, and actively contribute to building a clean and beautiful world. In the desert hinterland south of Dubai, United Arab Emirates, the 900 MW photovoltaic project of Dubai Maktoum Solar Park Phase V, undertaken by Shanghai Electric Group Co., Ltd., has attracted attention. During the National Day holiday, Assistant Project Manager Fang Zhichao, as usual, started a day of on-site inspections at 9 am, meticulously monitoring every operational indicator to ensure the smooth and efficient operation of each power generation unit in the power station. Promoting the concept of green development and using Chinese technology to create an "energy oasis" in the desert is Fang Zhichao's career dream. Four years ago, as a newlywed, he arrived here with only a vast expanse of sand dunes in front of him. He rooted himself in the desert with Afghan technicians, conducted repeated experiments, and optimized the pile length and type of 130000 photovoltaic support foundation piles. In March 2022, when Fang Zhichao heard his daughter's first cry on the phone from China, he was still working hard on the front line to ensure the system debugging before the project block was connected to the grid for power generation. I feel guilty for not being with my family when my daughter was born. I am proud to witness the first large-scale photovoltaic power station constructed by a Chinese enterprise in Dubai turning from a blueprint into a reality Fang Zhichao said, "This year's National Day, I still cannot return to China to accompany my daughter. But the project is like my child, watching the safe and stable output of 'green electricity', all the hard work and effort are worth it!" With strong technical strength, excellent engineering quality, and responsible professional attitude, this is the sincere evaluation of the Chinese builders by the foreign owner and executive director of the project, Mohammad Dinar. Since the beginning of the new era, Chinese builders have actively promoted the construction of the "Green Silk Road", extensively carried out international cooperation in ecological governance, solidly promoted the improvement of the ecological environment, and opened up new ideas and injected new impetus for the common development of the "Global South". Intimacy is like a family interpreting fate and shared feelings. On the morning of the 3rd, Li Bing, the project leader of China Road and Bridge Engineering Co., Ltd.'s Niabihu project, remained at his post and drove a pickup truck to patrol the line for inspection. This is his eighth National Day spent on the front line of the Rwanda project. In his eyes, perseverance and dedication are the best birthday gifts for his motherland. In early May last year, the western province of Rwanda experienced heavy rainfall and triggered floods. China Road and Bridge Corporation's Rwanda office quickly established a youth strike team to rush to the disaster area for rescue, and seized the only transportation artery connecting the disaster area with the outside world, which is 48 kilometers long. In the rainstorm, Li Bing and the commandos braved the danger of landslides and rising floods and fought for more than 30 hours to build roads so that relief supplies and personnel could reach the affected villages in time. When talking about the thrilling emergency rescue experience, Li Bing said that the flood submerged several villages and washed away roads, with a death toll of 130 people. In the current disaster situation, we must take action! "" At this critical moment, Chinese companies extended a helping hand, which deeply moved me. I am fortunate to work at a Chinese enterprise and I love my company! "Seth, a local employee affected by the disaster, expressed his gratitude emotionally. As one of the earliest Chinese companies to enter Rwanda, China Road and Bridge Corporation has been rooted in Rwanda for half a century. "If you have difficulties, find roads and bridges" has become a common saying among local people. In the face of every disaster and crisis, this promise has never fallen through. The friendship between nations lies in people's matchmaking, and people's matchmaking lies in heart to heart communication. The concept of building a community with a shared future for mankind is increasingly deeply rooted in people's hearts. Chinese builders overseas are writing touching stories of working hand in hand with the local community to help each other and be as close as a family, achieving touching stories of solidarity and mutual assistance. Liu Yang, an employee of China Communications Construction Group Co., Ltd., the contractor, has long regarded Malaysia as the second hometown when China and Malaysia jointly built the key project of the "the Belt and Road" - Malaysia East Coast Railway (hereinafter referred to as "Malaysia East Railway"). During the National Day holiday, Liu Yang was busy on the front line, organizing various safety inspections to ensure safe construction. Strictly ensuring safety is the work principle that Liu Yang adheres to. Last December, Terengganu state in Malaysia experienced continuous heavy rainfall, leading to flooding in many areas. After receiving emergency assistance from local government departments, the third branch of the CCCC Ma Dong Railway project, led by the branch leader Liu Yang, quickly established a Sino Malaysian collaborative rescue team composed of Chinese and local employees. Personnel, loaders, heavy trucks, and other personnel were dispatched to the first line of disaster relief in a timely manner, successfully transferring more than 200 trapped people and a large amount of daily necessities to temporary shelters, and making every effort to protect the safety of local residents' lives and property. The construction of the Ma Dong Railway project has been completed by over 70%. Facing the dawn, Liu Yang imagined the wonderful scenery of this modern railway passing through the fertile fields, sweeping across the coast, and connecting the east and west coasts of Malaysia after its completion. He said that he might have gone to another mountain and sea at that time, but the good memories of the people of China and Malaysia who are connected by this railway will remain in his heart. A road, a bay, a forest, a bond... Immersed in the sweat of Chinese overseas builders, towering buildings rise from the ground, crossing mountains and seas to connect hearts, interpreting the actions and strength of shared destiny.
