My Third Sister 04‖ Yellow River Diversion Project (digression)

In "My Third Sister"-"Dream of Heroes", it tells the story that Third Sister jumped into the sluice to block the hole in order to protect the experimental field of the production team. The article mentioned "Yellow Melody". This paper introduces the greatest water conservancy project in history-Huining-Jing Hui irrigation project.

Hometown people call it "Huang Qu" for short, because the water in the canal is pumped from the Yellow River in Jingyuan. The terrain of Huining County is higher than that of Jingyuan County, and the Yellow River water cannot naturally flow to Huining. It is necessary to build a pump house by building canals to pump up the Yellow River water step by step. Huangqu water flows through hundreds of miles and finally reaches Xiamen Village, Riverside Town, Huining County.

The construction of Huang Qu originated from a drought in the early 1970s.

197 1 year, the whole Dingxi area suffered from severe drought, especially in the northern part of Huining county, which belongs to Dingxi area. From the winter of 1970 to the autumn of 197 1 year, the drought lasted for 10 months. Crops are not harvested in summer and autumn, and water pits and waterlogging pools dry up. Hundreds of thousands of people in the south of Jingyuan and the north of Huining are in an emergency, and the people complain.

In the face of the serious disaster, Wang, then deputy secretary of Huining County Committee, was in a hurry and reported the disaster to the provincial party committee through the county Committee. After passing the inspection, the provincial party Committee immediately made a decision to "work for relief, self-help in production, and build Jinghui Project".

Wang volunteered to be the commander-in-chief of Jinghui Electric Power Pumping and Irrigation Project, mobilized and organized 25,000 migrant workers in the county to camp on the construction site hundreds of miles from the bank of the Yellow River to the entrance of Hometown Gorge.

I remember that there were several migrant workers living in my family at that time. Every time they eat, each of them carries a big vat (rice basin). In the vat, there are either stewed potato chips or boiled Chinese cabbage, and some pieces of meat are scattered. The staple food is big steamed bread. Several people squatted on the ground, talking and laughing, and had a lively meal.

My sister also took part in the Yellow River Diversion Project, and her engineering team was stationed in Xiamen. At that time, because of the drought, every household was short of food, but the migrant workers of the Yellow River Diversion Project could eat enough to ensure the construction of the project. Every time my sister comes home, she will bring some tortillas to improve the lives of her brothers and sisters.

At that time, the state invested only 40 million yuan in Jinghui Electric Power Pumping and Irrigation Project, without any mechanical facilities, and the construction was entirely dependent on manpower. Tens of thousands of migrant workers, relying only on handfuls of shovels and trolleys, push their shoulders with their hands to complete such a huge project, how easy is it?

However, the Yellow River Diversion Project has given hope to these people who are driven to the brink of despair by drought. They are not afraid of difficulties and are determined to fight for themselves and future generations. Tens of thousands of people worked together to open canals on every mountain and lay trenches in every ditch, regardless of the cold and heat. In order to get rid of the drought and water shortage in their hometown as soon as possible, they fought for 400 days and directly completed the earthwork of the main canal. By the Spring Festival of 1973, ten main pumping stations were built one after another.

1973 10 10 On October 25th, when the turbid Yellow River water finally flowed out of the thick pipeline on the south bank of Xiaohe River, people in their hometown cheered and ran to tell each other. The old man held the river flowing back hundreds of miles with his hand, and tears filled his eyes.

Since then, the people in their hometown have completely got rid of the plight of drought and water shortage for hundreds of years, ending the history of relying on the weather to eat. Since the irrigation with water, people have bid farewell to hunger completely, and every household has gradually lived a good life. Nowadays, all irrigation areas in Huining are shaded by trees, and fruits are fragrant.

Think about the source of drinking water. People along Jinghui Irrigation Project will never forget their secretary Wang. He is anxious about the people's worries and worries, and is a good public servant of the people. His achievements will surely go down in history.

The Yellow River Diversion Project is inseparable from the day and night struggle of more than 20,000 migrant workers. They pushed their shoulders and carried out labor competitions. Their optimistic spirit and spectacular construction scenes are always full of emotion and gratitude when they look back. It is ordinary workers who have created miracles.

People in their hometown and their descendants will never forget the heroes of the Yellow River Diversion Project-Secretary Wang and more than 25,000 migrant workers.

Jinghui electric irrigation project not only created a great miracle of transforming nature in human history, but also wrote an epic chapter, which made great contributions to the development history of Huining.
