因为自己惟一的儿子在海难中死去,一位日本老人为了避免惨剧再次发生,希望在有生之年,能建一座将日本四岛连接在一起的大桥。为了完成这个心愿,这位日本老人不断奔走,最终促成了明石海峡大桥的修建,实现了他毕生的心愿。世界上跨度最大、最高、最长、造价最昂贵的明石海峡大桥是为完成一个老人的心愿建起的丰碑。 Because his only son died in a shipwreck, an old Japanese man hopes to build a bridge linking the four islands of Japan in his lifetime to avoid the recurrence of the tragedy. In order to accomplish this wish, the Japanese old man kept running and eventually contributed to the construction of the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, fulfilling his lifelong wish. The largest, the tallest, the longest and the most expensive Akashi Kaikyo Bridge in the world is a monument built to fulfill the wishes of an elderly person.
