      On the shore of Lake Victoria, the Magufuli Bridge, built by Chinese enterprises, is in full swing towards the glorious moment of completion and opening to traffic in 2024. This feat not only greatly shortened the time for lakeside residents to cross the lake, from the original difficult journey of more than two hours to only five minutes, but also ignited infinite longing and expectation for the future in the hearts of local people.

      In this land of hope, 27-year-old Ali, an ordinary worker from the village of Kigungo in Tanzania's Mwanza province, was rewritten by his involvement in the construction of this historic project. Under the careful guidance of Chinese master Peng Jiangsheng, Ali not only gained a stable source of income, but also achieved a qualitative leap in skills and grew into a skilled welder.

      Magufuli Bridge, a magnificent building with a total length of 520 meters, with its unique design of a three-tower double-cable-faced low-tower cable-stayed bridge, not only shows the outstanding achievements of modern bridge engineering, but also will become the longest low-tower cable-stayed bridge on the African continent, becoming an important link connecting the two regions of Busisi and Kigongo, and has immeasurable value for promoting regional economic development, strengthening personnel exchanges and material circulation.Editor/Jiang Mingyue
