The road bridge March 27, 2008

Just watched at documentary on CCTV, a channel from china. Basically it was about a rope bridge that was used in a remote village of Yunnan, as means of transport from one mountain to the other.

Kids starts to cross the bridge alone when they turn 5 as they need to cross that river to get to their school everyday. Read it here.

There was a moment when the reporters saw a little gal about 4-5 years who got stucked in the middle of the bridge. She didn’t panic and climbed her way through. OMG. I would be wetting my pants if it was me!

Makes me wonder how fortunate I am now. It was nothing compared to my daily 1 hour travel to work. At least, I wasn’t playing with my life.

After filming, the media went back to Nanjing and called for donations. Finally, they collected enough funds to build 4 bridges! Thank God!
