The construction history of Hongqi Canal;

When Hongqi Canal was built, China was in a special period. Do it or not? Do you work early or late? At that time, Linxian County Committee had a full discussion. Early work benefits early, and late work suffers more. In order to solve the drought, the people of the county urgently demand early work, hard work and quick drying.

When the Hongqi Canal was surveyed, it was winter. Engineers and technicians climbed mountains and mountains in the ice and snow, hungry for dry food, thirsty for ice and snow, ran all day, came back at night to calculate until late at night, and produced measured data in time, which provided a reliable basis for the county party Committee's decision-making. The county party Committee analyzed its own practical difficulties and put forward to unite strength with spirit. Rencun commune undertakes the task of intercepting the head of the canal, and the headquarters sends 500 strong laborers to form a commando team to fight.

When the Hongqi Canal was started, 30,000 migrant workers rushed to Shanxi. Everyone lives in cliffs, temples, caves, earth-digging kilns and tents. When the dam at the head of the canal was closed, the young men and women of Qiancun commune jumped into the cold river and built a "human wall" to resist the rapids, thus making the closure successful. Donggang Commune organized more than 70 strong laborers, tied with ropes around their waists, to drill and fight in the air, but the canal foundation just collapsed on the cliff.

When digging the youth hole, there was a lack of food and vegetables, and everyone starved and worked hard. Young people wrote their brave words on the stone wall of Taihang Mountain: "Is it bitter? Think of the25,000-mile long March; Tired or not, think about the revolutionary predecessors ","For the sake of the younger generation not suffering, we have to suffer first ". In the spirit of ants gnawing at bones, it took half a year to build a 2l-kilometer channel in Shanxi, the main canal.

After another year and five months, when the national economy was in temporary difficulties, the Youth Cave was dug at the end of July. 196 1. A lot of sand and stones are needed to intercept and build the dam. The players ran like flies on the narrow path, their feet were bleeding, their shoulders were red and swollen, and they didn't mean to stop.

One month, each person wears out four pairs of cloth shoes and six shoulder pads. Finally 10 meter project, the river rolled and roared. People shouted slogans and threw pieces of boulders, baskets of stone slag and sandbags at Longkou, but they were immediately washed away by the rapids.

A few people left hundreds of pounds of boulders, and there was no trace. In this case, the masses were full of passion. 124 people formed three walls, standing hand in hand in the cold river. Under the cover of the human wall, huge stones were erected, sandbags were attached, and baskets of stone slag were filled. Finally, the dam was closed and the river closure was successful.

On the battlefield of building the Red Flag Canal, many heroes emerged who were not afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice, among whom 8 1 comrades gave their precious lives.
