Daily Chinese Proverb: Bridges

This Chinese proverb is used to describe someone who does something and then prevents others doing it too. In other words someone who is quite a selfish person. This is quite different to the English proverb 'Burning Bridges' though which is more to do with purposefully loosing contact with a person.


过河拆桥
guò hé chāi qiáo
Cross River, Tear Down Bridge
