Translate “修路致富” into English How to translate the title “修路致富” into English? I want to use it as the title of my paper.
"Wealth Follows The Extension of Motorways" is an expression that's been attributed as a "Chinese saying".

I first heard it on this video

China’s Super Highway: MEGAPROJECTS (Part 6) by The Daily Conversation.

Starting at around ~2:30 the narrator says:


  It seems the whole country's embracing the Chinese saying lu tong cai tong - Wealth Follows The Extension of Motorways.


Almost the exact same quote can be found in this blogspot post:


  It seems the whole country is embracing the Chinese saying, “Lutong Caiton,” wealth follows the extension of motorways.


It all seems to be based of the saying 路通财通. Which with the current announcements and actual extensions &amp; building of highways and superhighways certainly fits your 修路致富.

It doesn't seem to be a well known phrase yet in English, but the Daily Conversation has almost racked up 1.5 million views on their youtube video, so it might very well become a "Chinese saying" in English.
