In Popular Culture
During the Chinese campaign of the 2003 video game Command & Conquer: Generals, the bridge was intentionally bombed by a fictional terrrorist group called the Global Liberation Army (GLA) as Chinese Troops cross the bridge. With only few troops left, the player is ordered to build a small base and destroy the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre after it falls under the control of GLA and to eliminate further terrorist threats. The game series was banned in China because of the ordered destruction of HKCEC, the Three Gorges Dam, and terrorism at the Tsing Ma Bridge.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“People try so hard to believe in leaders now, pitifully hard. But we no sooner get a popular reformer or politician or soldier or writer or philosopher—a Roosevelt, a Tolstoy, a Wood, a Shaw, a Nietzsche, than the cross-currents of criticism wash him away. My Lord, no man can stand prominence these days. It’s the surest path to obscurity. People get sick of hearing the same name over and over.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
“I wish to speak a word for Nature, for absolute freedom and wildness, as contrasted with a freedom and culture merely civil,—to regard man as an inhabitant, or a part and parcel of Nature, rather than as a member of society. I wish to make an extreme statement, if so I may make an emphatic one, for there are enough champions of civilization: the minister and the school committee and every one of you will take care of that.”
—Henry David David (1817–1862)
