'To build a road in my hometown is my life long dream,' said Sina Dingdru, the general manager of Bara Gedzong Tourism Development Co. in Shangri-La county of Yunnan province.
The 50-year-old has built an asphalt road, which is 6.5 meters wide and 30 kilometers long, for his hometown, Bara village. The village is located under the Bara Gedzong Snow Mountain at an altitude of about 3,000 meters. During the past 1,300 years, the village was almost isolated. The project took about eight years and 300 million yuan ($48.81 million) to complete.
Sina Dingdru failed to graduate from primary school at the age of 13. He went to Guangzhou, Guangdong province,with merely 400 yuan he had borrowed. Later, his businesses were all over China. He has earned 40 million yuan, and has become a famous man in the Tibetan areas of Yunnan province.
'To build a road and develop tourism in my hometown is to realize my dream,' said Sina Dingdru. When he decided to build the road, the whole family disagreed and thought he was crazy. However, Sina Dingdru overlooked the disagreement and was even more determined to build the road. He designed the construction route, did geographic research himself, and learned about road-building skills. In building the road, he borrowed more than 100 million yuan, which made him no longer a millionaire. On Sept 10, 2004, road construction from the 214 National Road to Bara village finally started. When it was finally finished, villagers festively danced and sang to celebrate it.
