龙的天空China-Africa Salon: A stadium in 2 years, a bond of 42 -- Chinese builders share their Kenya story_我的网站
A |  "The schedule was extremely tight -- just two years, while comparable projects elsewhere usually take more than three," Du Xiao, project manager of the stadium for China Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC), told Xinhua in a recent interview. "There is a very real sense of pride." According to Du, the stadium has no running track, bringing spectators close to the pitch. Its seats take on the green, red and black of Kenya's national flag, while the facade features the traditional shield and spear of the Maasai people. Upon completion, the stadium is set to be renamed the Raila Odinga International Stadium, in honor of Kenya's late former Prime Minister Raila Odinga. The roof adopts a cable-supported grid system erected with a "cable-first, steel-after" method, which Du said is the first of its kind independently designed and built by China. Without temporary steel supports, 48 radial cables are tensioned to lift six ring cables before steel trusses are laid on top, saving at least three months of construction time, with displacement controlled to the millimeter. In 2025 alone, some 1,300 containers of materials and equipment were shipped from China to the site. For CRBC, the stadium is only the latest chapter of a much longer story. The company built its first road in Kenya in 1984, and over 42 years, its footprint has extended from roads to bridges, ports, railways and buildings. Du Shan, the executive general manager of CRBC Kenya office, recalled that before 2008, Nairobi was cut apart by three rivers and a cross-district trip could take more than three hours. After CRBC completed the ring roads, the journey now takes about 50 minutes. The company is also expanding the A8, a national trunk road, from two lanes to four and six, she said. On the Mombasa-Nairobi Standard Gauge Railway, wildlife corridors were built with a clearance of more than six meters, "so that giraffes can pass with their heads held high," Du Shan said.  "Working overseas, we should not arrive thinking about changing the place. We should first adapt to and learn from the local community," he said. "What many projects truly open up is not just roads and railways, but trust between people." The stadium sits near Kibera, Kenya's largest informal settlement. Du Xiao remembers a local young man named Sammy, who had no skills when he applied for a job but volunteered for the project's equipment training and became a pump truck operator. "I asked him why he worked so hard. He said, 'I never thought I would have the chance to touch these machines. Now I feel I can support my whole family.'" According to Du Shan, the project recruited nearly 500 young workers from the neighborhood during construction, many of whom have qualified as assistant engineers, while about 280 local youths were mentored into technical backbones during the construction of the Mombasa-Nairobi railway. More than 350 CRBC employees have worked overseas for over a decade, and each year the company awards them a gold medal for long-term dedication, she said. "The medal is not only an honor, but also a kind of warmth. Because 42 years -- it has truly not been easy." When his child was born, Du Xiao was at a critical stage of the Nairobi Expressway project and could not make it home. "People in overseas engineering live in two worlds -- the project site on one side, the family on the other. All you can do is try to do a little better on each side," he said. "Maybe I will one day leave this country. But this stadium will remain," he said. "I came here to build projects. Then I found that this country has shaped who I am today." 。 1月8日，一位自称黑龙江德恩电力集团有限公司讷河市分公司总经理闫成妻子的网友公开发文，称其丈夫于当日跳楼身亡。闫成生前朋友圈8日当天，该网友告诉红星新闻，他丈夫是早晨6点多轻生跳楼的，目前人已经在殡仪馆，她正在处理丈夫后事。由于事发突然，死亡证明目前还没有开具。
B | 8日下午，红星新闻记者致电讷河市天福园殡仪馆，工作人员证实确有一名叫闫成的死者，遗体暂存在殡仪馆内，于当天早晨9点左右送到馆内。
C | 而另一位该殡仪馆工作人员称，死者确实是闫成，在8日早晨由单位司机将遗体送来，“我当时一看，说‘这不是闫成吗’，他们两口子我都认识。”网传闫成在轻生前曾公开在微信朋友圈发文，称受到公司某领导胁迫做违法违纪事项，压力太大。闫成妻子告诉记者，该朋友圈就是其丈夫轻生前所发布的。在殡仪馆工作的朋友也向记者证实，他在朋友圈看到闫成所发的相关文字。根据天眼查公开信息显示，国网黑龙江省电力有限公司讷河市供电分公司为国网黑龙江省电力有限公司的分公司，主要从事电力、热力生产和供应业。而黑龙江德恩电力集团有限公司讷河市分公司为黑龙江德恩电力集团有限公司的分公司，后者被国网黑龙江省电力有限公司100%控股。
D | 记者尝试致电国网黑龙江省电力有限公司讷河市供电分公司，但是电话一直未能接通。随后，记者致电国网黑龙江省电力有限公司，将此事反馈给工作人员后，对方表示将向公司纪委部门反映此情况。1月9日上午，闫成妻子告诉红星新闻，国网黑龙江省电力有限公司齐齐哈尔供电公司相关负责人已经来到他们家中，口头告知目前将涉事某领导暂时停职。
E | 至于朋友圈中所表述的相关事宜，目前正在调查之中。红星新闻记者 钟梦哲 罗梦婕编辑 潘莉 责编 官莉（下载红星新闻，报料有奖！）。 Current article:http://ybi0ap.mexuanmeixuyaopinzheng.shop/ezyxez/20260826/3503246.html Published on:18:16:54 |
