The “Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge is an outstanding representation of Chinese bridges. We are proud that we Chinese have become masters of some core technologies.” On the evening of April 12, ZHU Yongling, the CPC Committee Secretary and former Director of Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB) Authority, distinguished alumni of Tongji University, returned to his alma mater to give a themed report on the construction of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and a special, vivid and exciting ideological and political course for the teachers and students at Tongji.

Mr. ZHU, majoring in Road Engineering, graduated from the Department of Roads and Bridges, Tongji University, in 1982. After three years of work, he returned to Tongji University for his Master’s degree in Road Engineering. In 1988, he worked in the transportation system of Guangdong Province after graduation. He was Director of the Administrative Office of HZMB Advanced Work Coordination Group and Director of the HZMB Authority.

ZHU's report contains three parts: the construction achievements of Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge; the challenges and successful experiences in the bridge construction; and the enlightenment of the bridge construction. ZHU described the achievements of Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and demonstrated them on his PPT slide show. What enlightenment does the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge bring to us? ZHU said that we must have firm conviction and a strong body, as well as the spirit of dedication and sacrifice, inclusiveness and solidarity, and professionalism and craftsmanship.
