Chapter 57: The Wonder of World Water Conservation
In those days when Koto was entangled in the admission results, the construction of the aqueduct site also came to an end. The eighteen-kilometer aqueduct Wei Wei towers over the south bank of the river and on top of the mountains. A majestic arch span, holding a huge and long trough, across the hills, across the rivers and lakes, to the bitter drought and little water in the high-pitched mountainous areas.
On the day of the water test, the people of the surrounding ten miles and eight towns happily gathered at the aqueduct construction site. For a time, the sea of flowers on the construction site was crowded, and the water was impassable. The unprecedented joy of the people in the mountains actually made several nearby communes and thousands of villages empty, and men, women and children rushed to the construction site in groups.
More than 10,000 migrant workers who participated in the construction of the aqueduct, wearing tattered clothes, wading through mud and sand and mixed water, with dark and gloomy faces, are gathering in an orderly manner to participate in the water opening ceremony. Zhong Gui, who came from the prefectural party committee, as well as Xin Xian, Yu An and others sat on the rostrum, which was temporarily made of wood and red cloth, looking at the 10,000-person square team standing under the stage, and looking at the villagers from afar from time to time.
In the more than a year since the construction of the aqueduct, in the face of the extreme difficulties of lack of food and clothing, none of the more than 10,000 migrant workers chose to give up or quit halfway. The more they fought, the more courageous they became, shouting the slogan of "daring to teach the sun and the moon to change the sky" and heroic feelings, carried forward the spirit of self-reliance and hard work, and used hammers and steel drills to create a majestic water conservancy project.
At this time, Zhong Gui handed Xin Xian a congratulatory letter on the spot. Xin Xian opened the congratulatory letter signed by Zhong Gui, the local party committee. The congratulatory letter said that the sons and daughters of the mountainous areas do not care about personal gains and losses, devote themselves to hard work, use their youth and enthusiasm to seek welfare for the children and grandchildren of the people, and even sacrifice their lives in exchange for a happy future in the mountainous areas.
Qin Yin pulled Qin's grandmother and Qin's mother, followed the pedestrians in the small mountain village, and also rushed to the construction site together. Pedestrians on the road carried their own roast pigs, some carried eggs, some pulled cloths hand in hand, and some carried homemade flags. Their purpose is to go to the construction site, see with their own eyes the water-scarce mountains, the first pool of water flowing in, and witness a historic moment of farewell to the water problem.
On summer mornings, the sun is as hot as it gets. The large open land of the construction site was crowded with people from all directions until it was overcrowded. On the ridges, in the ditches, and on the hillsides, there are people everywhere, and there are expectant eyes everywhere.
Qin Yin pulled Grandma Qin and Qin Mother, and occupied a place near the rostrum and the square team. Everyone was waiting eagerly, talking and laughing, chasing and playing, just waiting for the ceremony to begin.
The ceremony of opening the aqueduct began. Xin Xian announced the start of the water opening ceremony through the loudspeaker on the shelves of the simple shed, and the huge crowd gradually quieted down.
Xin Xian glanced at the blue sky, then looked at the people in the world who were gathering like a tide, and introduced the basic situation of the construction of the aqueduct in a majestic and almost choked tone.
The total cost of this aqueduct, which was the world's largest at the time, was only 5 million yuan. The works include a diversion canal in front of the trough, a culvert through the mountain and a masonry canal in front of the channel, with a total length of 18 kilometres. Such a huge amount of work, in the absence of construction machinery, most of them are completed by shoulder pickers, steel hammers, rickshaws and other soil methods. Xin Xian said that more than 10,000 migrant workers in the surrounding communes finally built this water conservancy miracle on the construction site that stretched for 18 kilometers. In terms of size and length, it ranks first in the world. This was a world-class miracle at that time, and a miracle of that era!
Readers should know that in the early 80s of the last century, such a cost should be quite low. The main reason for the low cost is the selfless dedication of more than 10,000 migrant workers and builders and local villagers along the way.
Qin Yin hid in the midst of thousands of people, quietly listening to the sound from the rostrum, tasting the choked sound of some villagers around her, her inner world was full of sunshine and hope, she felt like a tide standing on the cusp of time, in the frozen time, feeling the historical moment of the end of the drought in the mountainous area.
After that, a model worker came to the stage to introduce his deeds. When Qin Yin saw it, he couldn't help but cry out: "Hoop!"
He recalled his story of quitting smoking in order to take care of explosives, and said: "Do you remember that field piano bosom friend? It was she who encouraged me like a bosom friend, made me always remember my duty, and always inspired myself to persevere to the end, and I am standing here today." ”
Following the reel, several people who appeared to speak on the stage fondly recalled the original broadcast and the original battlefield piano bosom friend. Some even said that if it weren't for the original broadcast and the encouragement of their Battlefield Friends, they don't know if they would really be able to persist to this day.
Qin Yin listened to the speeches of the reluctance and others, and his eyes appeared in front of him in the fighting years at the aqueduct construction site, and he had a lot of thoughts. At that time, I was very poor and bitter, but I was very passionate, and I got up early every day to report the advanced deeds on the construction site, but I didn't feel tired, but I was very happy. The sound of the piano was listened to, and the eyes were full of tears.
Xin Xian, who was sitting on the rostrum, listened to the speeches of the reels, and the scene of the original piano sound broadcast at the construction site also appeared in his mind. Sensei said that ordinary migrant workers, even high-ranking county officials like him, also like to listen to the broadcast of the piano, and they have been inspired in the depths of their hearts. Thinking of this, Xin Xian pulled Yu An, who was sitting next to him, and leaned close to Yu An's ear and said, "How has Qin Yin been lately?" Yu An shook his head: "I don't know either." Xin Xian smiled slyly: "You and Qinmei are so close, you can't even know about the recent situation of your sister." Yu An also smiled.
After the speech, Xin Xian walked to the center of the rostrum, stood in front of the loudspeaker, and recalled the arduous years of construction site construction with deep affection. At the end, he said to the thousands of people in front of him: "This water conservancy project of the world's miracle is full of the sweat and blood and tears of party members, league members, millions of people and more than 10,000 migrant workers at the construction site. As you mentioned earlier, the girl who once gave the construction site a battlefield bosom friend feeling, although she later left the construction site due to overwork, but at today's historical moment, it is estimated that she must also be silently paying attention to the completion of this world miracle water conservancy project, right? If she is really at the scene, I hope she can come up and show her bosom friend voice to the cadres, migrant workers and the masses at the scene. Do you think it's okay?"
The scene resounded with thunderous applause. Qin Yin heard Xin Xian mention herself, and involuntarily lowered her head, but Grandma Qin and Qin Mother were so happy that they laughed and danced like children, and they both pushed Qin Yin forward. The surrounding villagers knew that Qin Yin was at the scene, and they also hugged Qin Yin and walked to the rostrum.
Xin Xian, Yu An and other people on the rostrum, seeing a small group of people huddled towards the rostrum, knew that it must be the sound of the piano, and they all waited for her quietly.
Qin Yin walked onto the rostrum, causing enthusiastic cheers from the 10,000 migrant workers. Several teams of more than 10,000 people shouted the slogans of "Battlefield Piano Soulmate" and "Battlefield Piano Soulmate" in unison. It wasn't until Qin Yin walked up to the loudspeaker and shouted "thank you" loudly that the scene gradually calmed down.
Qin Yin said: "At such a historical moment, in the face of this miracle in the history of water conservancy in the world, I just did a very small thing, should have done a small thing, I did not expect that so long has passed, and it will be mentioned by everyone, my heart is warm! If the construction of the mountainous area needs me, I will try my best to be everyone's bosom friend as I did at the beginning." ”
The brief impromptu speech of the piano attracted thunderous applause in the construction site, which lasted for a long time. After speaking, Qin Yin also generously bowed to the rostrum, to the migrant workers' team, and to the crowd.
Zhong Gui, Xin Xian, Yu An and others, as well as the people's representative Qinfu, and the migrant workers' representative Qizi and others, walked to the side of the rostrum, which was the end of the 18-kilometer aqueduct, and together they removed a large wooden plank blocking the exit of the aqueduct, and the turbulent water immediately erupted......
The water conservancy dream of many generations of high-pitched mountain people came true at this time. How many migrant workers and villagers in tattered clothes ran desperately, picked up the water here, and sprinkled it on the happy crowd......
