The friendship between China and Bangladesh has a long history. In 2010, a Bangladeshi girl named Aliha Chin was born smoothly with the help of Chinese doctors. To express gratitude to China, Chin's father named her "Chin" in Bengali, meaning "China," symbolizing the unbreakable bond between her and China.
Later on, CRBC sponsored Chin's education, providing her with study materials and daily necessities. This touching story of friendship between the people of China and Bangladesh has continued.
On the Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Tunnel, there are many heartwarming stories between the people of China and Bangladesh.
In 2019, when the wife of a local electrician, Slim, had a heart problem, he was troubled by the treatment expenses. After learning about the situation, the project department immediately organized a fundraiser, which deeply touched Slim.
What delighted Slim even more was that, after his wife's condition was better, the project department invited him to continue working. Slim expressed his gratitude, saying, "Thanks to the Chinese people, they not only helped us build the country but also helped my little family through difficulties."
Moreover, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the project department hired local doctors to conduct free check-ups for employees and nearby residents. The project department also set up a separate canteen for local employees, offering halal food. They celebrated Ramadan, Dragon Boat Festival by making zongzi, and Mid-Autumn Festival by enjoying moon cakes together with local employees. These series of actions demonstrate the responsibility and commitment of CRBC.
This profound friendship that transcends borders is not just a simple expression of gratitude but a fusion of cultures. May this enduring friendship be passed down from generation to generation!
