"The Chinese construction industry can be actually considered the most important in the world. For all of these bridges, new technologies have been introduced and developed in China. New materials have been used, new construction techniques as well as new theoretical theories. And that's impressive in all the world. 
Now more and more people know China through bridges. Bridges are not only a link from one point to another point. They are not only transportation tools, but they are also in some way, the way to understand different cultures. They also bridge different cultures."
