More than 50 years ago, after the Yangliuqing people created the miracle of "catching up with the big camp", many native Yangliuqing people never returned to their homeland in this life, and the soil of their hometown became nostalgic sustenance. Recently, in order to comfort the ancestors of the camp, the Xiqing District Root-Seeking "Catching up with the Camp" working group and representatives of the descendants of the "Catching the Camp" held a ceremony of "taking the homeland of Yang Liuqing and comforting the ancestors of the camp" on Yuanbao Island.
The soil extraction ceremony was held on the south bank of the Yangliuqing Grand Canal, and the Xiqing District Root-Seeking "Catching up with the Big Camp" working group and representatives of the descendants of the "Catch the Big Camp" attended the ceremony, and took eight kilograms of soil on the spot and sent it to Xinjiang by mail.

The significance of taking soil is very important, and my family has the old man Yang Liuqing who lives in Xinjiang and instructs us to bring the soil of our hometown, the canal water of our hometown, and the seeds of our hometown to Xinjiang.

This time, eight kilograms of soil were taken, representing the eight-thousand-mile road from Yangliuqing to Xinjiang, and distributing the soil to the representatives of the descendants of the camp living in Xinjiang, so as to comfort our ancestors who rushed the camp. At the same time, it also makes the descendants of the camp feel the warmth of Yang Liuqing in our hometown of Xiqing District.
It is understood that the upcoming root-seeking "catch up with the camp" activities are jointly organized by the Yangliuqing Grand Canal National Cultural Park Project Construction Headquarters, the Xiqing District CPPCC Committee, the Xiqing District Archives and a number of municipal work units, and this soil-taking ceremony is also the prelude to a new round of search for Xinjiang. The activity group will depart during the month.

This time I went to Xinjiang to interview the descendants of the big camp, which will be my eighth personal entry into Xinjiang, and we will definitely have new gains this time. The first is to do more adequate information enrichment work in order to catch up with the large camp. The second is to record oral histories, add more materials to our archives in Xiqing, and prepare for the future compilation of the Chronicle of catching up with the big camp.
