In a bustling construction site along the China-Laos railway, Benasan isn’t just translating instructions—he’s building literal and metaphorical bridges. As a Lao translator for the project, he bridges language gaps between Chinese engineers and local workers while physically shaping the rails that will connect the two nations. Talk about a multitasker!
The China-Laos railway, dubbed an 'economic bridge,' aims to transform landlocked Laos into a land-linked hub, boosting trade and cross-border connections. For Benasan, every translated word and laid track symbolizes progress: 'This isn’t just steel and concrete—it’s hope for our future,' he shared with a grin.
Young professionals like Benasan highlight how infrastructure projects fuse cultural exchange with economic ambition. For globetrotters and entrepreneurs, this rail link could soon become a must-know route for exploring Southeast Asia’s untapped potential.
