Magpie Bridge on Vietnam Light Rail

Just because I saw you one more time in the crowd, I can't forget your face again. During the Spring Festival of 2021, Deng Yan and A Hong reunited in their apartment in Hanoi, humming softly to the melodious melody on TV. This was their sixth year in Vietnam.

Deng Yan is an employee of the Vietnam Hanoi Light Rail Project Department of the China Railway Sixth Bureau. After graduating from Hanoi University of Humanities and Social Sciences in Vietnam in 2015, he worked as a Vietnamese translator in the project department. Deng Yan met his other half while studying abroad. The beautiful Vietnamese girl Xie Yinghong, everyone calls her Ah Hong.

Deng Yan's Vietnamese language skills are excellent, and he is comfortable in daily communication. However, he is not satisfied with the status quo. The light rail project involves knowledge in many professional fields. .

Deng Yan's work ability and professionalism were quickly recognized by the project department and Vietnamese subcontractors, which also deeply attracted Ah Hong. After graduation, A Hong also came to the light rail project to become an employee of the finance department. The two help each other and improve together in work, life and study. They also "sprinkle dog food" with the project's young employees from time to time, which makes everyone very envious.

On January 17, 2019, the two entered the palace of marriage. Now they have bought a small apartment in Hadong County, and their lovely daughter will soon be two years old. "We taught her to learn Chinese and Vietnamese in her spare time, and she has been able to communicate in both languages on a daily basis."

Acquainted with the Belt and Road, and formed a relationship with the Hanoi Light Rail Transit in Vietnam, this marriage has a long history like the friendship between China and Vietnam.

From Hanoi, Vietnam to Vientiane, Laos, the marriage story written by the Belt and Road continues. The young people of China and Laos "use the road as a medium" to get married and reap the wonderful love.

I didn't expect to get this first place

The 32-year-old Xiong Yinghao is a department head of the China-Laos Railway Project Department of the China Railway Second Bureau. The considerate and thoughtful 27-year-old Laotian girl Wang Ni applied for the project in October 2017 as a Lao translator. She is gentle and delicate. The two people's offices are adjacent to each other, and they have many contacts at work. After fully understanding the situation of the two people in all aspects, the project department will connect them and create more communication opportunities for them after work.

On May 20, 2018, Xiong Yinghao and Wang Ni held the first cross-border love engagement ceremony of the China-Laos railway project at the construction site. The parents of both sides and the local village chief witnessed the newlyweds feeding each other glutinous rice, and the family and friends tied hand ropes for the newlyweds... thick The Lao customs attracted colleagues to take pictures frequently, and the villagers also came to give their blessings.

I didn't expect to get this first place. Due to epidemic prevention and control and construction period reasons, Xiong Yinghao has been busy at the construction site in the suburbs of Vientiane. His son, daughter and mother are all in his hometown in Sichuan. He has not returned home since his daughter was born. I took the train home and went to see my daughter, who I only met on the phone.

Lao girl reassures parents

In February 2020, Jiang Cong was transferred to the China-Laos Railway Project Department of China Railway Wuhan Electrification Bureau. In order to solve the problem of language barrier, Jiang Cong sent a recruitment message for "Lao Language Translator" on the Lao social platform. At that time, Kuwan, a Lao girl who was still studying at the National University of Laos, has been learning Chinese by herself in school. She is very interested in Chinese culture and even gave herself the Chinese name Wang Ru.

When he learned that Jiang Cong was a China-Laos railway builder, Kuwan was very excited, grateful and admired. Jiang Cong was also attracted by this lively and cheerful girl, but because of the epidemic, the two who just fell in love had a long-distance relationship that lasted for 7 months and were separated by more than 100 kilometers.

At the beginning, Kuwan’s parents objected to their love, they felt that Laos and China were too far apart, and it would be difficult to see each other after marrying a foreign country. Kuwan said to his parents, “After the railway that Jiang Cong participated in was opened to traffic, It takes three hours to travel from the Laos-China border to Vientiane, and it is not difficult to communicate with other countries.” A few words, a railway, dispelled the concerns of Kuwan's parents.

In September 2020, Jiang Cong and Kuwan registered their marriage, and now they have a lovely baby.

Yuan Zhixiang took good care of A Fen A Fen and persuaded his parents with "he is good to me, no amount of money can buy love". On the Mid-Autumn Festival in 2018, A Fen was invited to participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival party of the project department. Yuan Zhixiang suddenly picked up the microphone and sang a song "Conquer" affectionately, and it was this song that completely "conquered" A Fen.

Time flies to 2019. The first daughter of the two was born in Mengla County, Yunnan Province, China. Yuan Zhixiang happily posted a circle of friends and named his daughter Yuan Siyi, hoping that she will remember the friendship between China and Laos.

After completing the construction of the China-Laos Railway, Yuan Zhixiang and his family stayed in Laos because of the epidemic. During this time, the two also welcomed their second daughter. They couldn't help but named the second daughter Yuan Sian, meaning "the epidemic will pass sooner." , China and Laos are peaceful and peaceful”. Editor/He Yuting
