Lyrics & Translation

[English]

In China, every giant project is a challenge, challenging the limits of the impossible.

Futuristic megastructures ahead of their time,

engineering marvels rising from the ground driven by the forces of nature.

Extreme geographical environments require creative solutions.

China is also unique in the development of drones, artificial intelligence and robotics.

Today, we’ll take a deep dive into the most amazing feats of Chinese engineering.

We'll also explore some lesser-known but truly remarkable mega-projects.

This megacity of Chongqing

is built in a mountainous area, with deep rivers such as the Yangtze River and Jialing River passing through the city.

The rugged terrain requires elevated roads, bridges

and intertwined layers of tunnels. Ultimately, the city feels almost impossible, like something out of a science fiction movie or a cyberpunk video game.

...

Chongqing's subway system - Rail Transit - is known for its unique design.

At Liziba Station, the tracks pass directly

through a residential building - an ingenious solution to the city's lack of space.

Chongqing is also becoming an important hub for robotics in China, especially in

the production of humanoid and industrial robots. The city is home to numerous robotics research centers,

including those at Chongqing University and the University of Science and Technology of China.

The tech expo showcases innovations in artificial intelligence, smart cities and robotics.

Several pioneering companies have launched affordable bipedal robots equipped with sensors,

vision systems and real-time processing capabilities. Mass production will soon enable robots to perform

tasks such as factory work, greeting guests, or caregiving.

Within 5 to 10 years, they are expected to have fluent conversations, recognize human emotions,

respond empathetically, and even become romantic companions.

The Raffles City complex

consists of eight skyscrapers connected by a huge horizontal bridge called the "Crystal Bridge".

It recreates the image of sailboats floating among tall buildings, paying tribute to

Chongqing's history as an inland port. There is also a glass-floored observation deck

where visitors can see the confluence of the Yangtze and Jialing rivers.

At night, the LED system covers the Twin Towers and the Crystal Tower, performing light shows simultaneously.

Thousands of Trees in Shanghai

This urban mountain, known as the "Shanghai Sky Garden", is covered with trees. Its design is inspired by the idea that architecture
