Abstract
Echoed by the lyrics of a Chinese song “never ask where I am from”, an ancient saying goes “never ask a hero where he is from”. Indeed, we don’t have to get to the bottom of many things when it comes to making deals, starting new businesses and even staging a revolution. But it is not so in our quest for knowledge. In our pursuit of knowledge we must understand what and why, otherwise we will be confused by a massive inflow of information, and our work and life will be negatively affected. Einstein said on multiple occasions that “I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious.” The general public need to be more inquisitive than the universally acknowledged genius if they want to succeed. This chapter aims to delve into the nuts and bolts of what the Belt and Road Initiative is.
