The international online Henan channel reported: "When people encounter difficulties, as long as they concentrate their strength and unite, they can overcome difficulties and create miracles." At that time, the people of Linzhou used the simple tools made in the harsh environment, combined with the very traditional and laborious construction process, and in the past decade, they persevered in building a canal that flowed slowly along the steep cliffs, which was a brave, tenacious and great thing. I have developed heartfelt admiration and reverence for the great project of 'Hongqi Canal', and I hope that more people can resonate with me. This passage comes from the recently published picture book work "Artificial Tianhe - China's Red Flag Canal".
