With research and research, and with solutions and good solutions to practical problems, can we do it? Don't want to work, don't want to work, "eat enough and have nothing to do" love to say "wind and cool words" There are people there! "When I went up the Taihang Mountain, I saw the grain river (canal), and the distant water could not quench my thirst." "If the water of the Zhanghe River can flow to Linxian County, it is a rooster laying eggs!" "Carry dry food to send away, and can't fatten the fields of Linxian County!"
In reality, in real work, do you often encounter such problems? So back then, how did Yang Gui, secretary of the Linxian County Party Committee, deal with these problems? And how to finally solve a series of problems such as water use for the people of Linxian County. If you really think about the people and work for the people, you will certainly be able to do things and do things!
Hongqiqu is a great miracle created by the people of Linxian in the Mao Zedong era in carrying forward the spirit of "self-reliance, hard work, unremitting self-improvement, pioneering and innovating, unity and cooperation, and selfless dedication", a firm implementation of the instructions of the Party Central Committee and Chairman Mao that water conservancy must be greatly developed, and a practical matter of solving local practical problems, solving people's livelihood, solving people's most concern, and directly bringing about the people's "welfare".
"In ancient times, there was the capital Jiangyan, and now there is the Hongqi Canal; In ancient times, there was Li Bing, and now there is Yang Gui. Premier Zhou Enlai once proudly told international friends: "There are two miracles in New China, one is the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge, and the other is the Hongqi Canal in Linxian County. "And the Hongqiqu in Linxian was led by leading cadres of Communist Party members and led the people to fight together!
The Hongqi Canal Project officially started
Yang Gui, secretary of the Linxian County Party Committee in Henan, led a group of party committee members to go deep into reality, fully investigate, and repeatedly demonstrate, and finally decided to "lead Zhangzhang into the forest" and build an "artificial heavenly river" for the people of Linxian County, so that the people can have water to drink and the land can be irrigated.
Some things are easy to say, but difficult to do. The key to solving difficulties is the starting point of interests and the foothold of the purpose, starting from the interests of the people, taking the people as the center, and taking the people as the purpose of solving problems.
In the project of "diverting Zhangzhang into the forest," the construction personnel want to go to Shanxi to split the mountains and guide the river, in order to cut off the Zhuozhang River, force the water to go uphill, and divert the water to the watershed of Linxian County, and then build three trunk canals from the watershed to connect the three reservoirs of Nangudong, Gongshang, and Jiaojie, and then turn the three reservoirs into reservoirs for diversion and storage that "divert Zhangzhang into the forest." In this way, only in this way can the problem of insufficient water sources in Linxian be completely solved and all problems such as water use for people and land water can be solved.
Yang Gui, secretary of the Linxian County Party Committee, took the lead and was always on the front line
But before the project began, all kinds of "discouraged talk", "rumors" and some "nonsense" and "nonsense" followed. Of course, the communists are not afraid of this, because they are thinking about the common people and doing practical things for the people of Linxian County. Of course, the reality also needs to be carefully analyzed. Indeed, at that time, the primary difficulty of engineering was the question of money.
The project of "channeling Zhangzhang into the forest" without special funds from higher authorities is the first and biggest problem encountered by Linxian County. On this point, it is clearly recorded in the diary of Yang Gui, secretary of the county party committee: The project of "channeling Zhangzhang into the forest" is very large, and now is a difficult period, and the state does not invest, if you wait until the situation improves before building it, it is difficult to predict what will happen at that time. Shanxi agreed to divert water, and this opportunity must not be missed. If you miss the opportunity, the people of Linxian County may suffer from water shortage forever. Now there are too many difficulties in construction, and the most basic way is self-reliance. ”
Pull oneself up by one’s bootstraps!
Self-reliance is to rely on your own strength to get things done.
Such work, such danger, there are always communists
About self-reliance, great men have a discussion. Sun Yat-sen wrote in The True Solution of the Chinese Question: "It is obvious that in order to solve this urgent problem and eliminate the root causes of impediments to world peace, the old government must be replaced by a new, enlightened, and progressive government, so that China will not only be self-reliant, but will also be able to relieve other countries of the trouble of maintaining China's independence and integrity." ”
Chairman Mao Zedong, "The Current Situation after the Victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan and Our Policy": "On what basis should our policy be placed? Placed on the basis of one's own strength, it is called self-reliance. ”
Moving forward and self-reliance is always parallel to the times. Self-reliance is also the keynote set by New China since its inception. It is precisely in the process of self-reliance that New China has achieved amazing results. We can't wait, we can't rely on, we can't ask for it. It is necessary to do the work first, pool the wisdom of the masses, extensively mobilize and mobilize all positive factors, and find a way to succeed in the course of self-reliance.
Secretary Yang Gui and the migrant workers learned the real situation together
January 29, 1960, the first day of the new year. Yang Gui, secretary of the county party committee, and members of the leading body will "lead the people into the forest" and set the work agenda. On the evening of February 10, the general headquarters of Linxian "leading Zhangxian into the forest" held a county-wide broadcasting oath division meeting, and the "mobilization order for "leading Zhangzhang into the forest" was quickly spread to every corner of Linxian through cable broadcasting, so that the people of Linxian County would know what we Linxian should mainly grasp at this stage, what we should do, and for whom? How to do it? The motions, implementation, and steps of this extremely transparent "great project" were all made public, which made the people of Linxian applaud and cheered, and even more gave the people of Linxian a boost! The mobilization meeting was quite successful!
On February 11, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the project of "leading Zhangzhang into the forest" officially began, and the craftsmen of 15 communes, migrant workers in Puzhaotong, and women's commandos set out at the same time, carrying tools, carrying luggage, pushing small carts, and driving horse-drawn carriages towards the Zhuozhang River at the junction of Jin, Hebei, and Yu provinces.
From March 6th to 7th, the Linxian Forest Committee held a plenary meeting in Panyang Village. At this meeting. The project of "leading Zhangzhang into the forest" was officially named "Hongqi Canal". What is the "Red Flag Canal"? It is to hold high the red flag and move forward!
Leading cadres and party members rushed to the front line and took the lead
The whole project encountered countless difficulties that came to mind and did not expect, and encountered too many dangers. However, the leading group of the county party committee took the lead, the communists took the lead, and the technicians took the lead; wherever there were great difficulties, construction sections, tunnels with great risks, and dangerous situations, there were communists on the spot, taking the lead, eliminating dangers, and trying by all means. With the frontline command of the leaders of the county party committee and their insistence on working together with the peasant workers, and with the Communist Party members eating, living, and working together with the peasant workers, one difficulty after another was solved and one dangerous situation after another was eliminated.
History has left a classic moment in construction for future generations, and this moment has engraved such greatness: At all times, communists are members of the people, and they work together with the people with one heart and one mind!
Secretary Yang Gui at the water opening ceremony
On April 5, 1965, the main trunk canal of the "Hongqi Canal" was opened to water, and in April 1966, three main canals were completed at the same time. In 1969, the supporting construction of trunk, branch and bucket canals was completed, and the project was fully completed in July.
The people of Linxian County have spent ten years of cold and hot weather, fighting hard and skillfully, and have built a 1,525.6-kilometer-long Hongqi Canal. On this Hongqi Canal, the heroic people of Linxian built 48 reservoirs and 364 pond weirs; 12,408 various buildings were constructed, including 211 tunnels and 151 aqueducts; A different number of small hydropower stations and water lifting stations have also been built on each branch canal, and an irrigation system with the Hongqi canal as the main body has basically formed in Linxian County.
A grand scene when the Hongqi Canal is opened to water
This is the "examination paper" handed over by the Linxian county party committee and government to the people of Linxian County, and this is the "examination paper" that the leaders at all levels and communists in Linxian County answered together with the people of Linxian County. On the "examination paper", it was written one by one, the people of Linxian County used water, and the land in Linxian could be "freely irrigated!" ”
From this day, Linxian officially bid farewell to the day of water shortage, and from this day, the effective irrigation area of the irrigation area increased to 540,000 mu. The truly happy days of the people of Linxian County have since become more developed.
This happiness is not easy to come by, and this happiness once again shows that to serve as an official, you must benefit the party, you must have the people in your heart, and where you do it, you are a member of the people there, and you are the leader who takes the lead in doing things. Good cadres and good party members will be remembered,
Zhang Quanjing, former director of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, published in Study Times in 2019 that "County Party Committee Secretaries Should Be as Courageous as Yang Gui", in which he wrote:
Yang Gui, secretary of the Linxian County CPC Committee, is not only the decision-maker and commander of the Hongqi Canal, but also an ordinary laborer on the construction site, always eating, living, working, studying, and discussing problems with the people repairing the canal. In particular, the implementation of double standards in work and life has brought together the people's will and strength to the greatest extent. It was precisely because of Yang Gui's exemplary role that the entire team and the entire team were very clean at that time.
After 10 years of canal construction and nearly 100 million yuan of investment, not a single cadre has ever sought any benefits for himself or his relatives. Until now, Hongqiqu is still playing a huge role, is the concrete embodiment of material into spirit, spirit into material, the spirit of Hongqiqu has been integrated into the blood of Linxian people, Ze is affected by the local economic and social development.
Yang Gui respects the law, makes scientific decisions, and dares to take responsibility. Before the initiative to build the Hongqi Canal, the whole of Linxian County held a protracted and in-depth discussion, and finally the overwhelming majority of the people agreed, saying one after another: "We would rather work hard than endure!" People's yearning is the biggest motivation!
On February 11, 1960, the first day of the construction of the Hongqi Canal, 37,000 people signed up for the construction of the canal in the county, and in the entire process of canal construction, the maximum number of people on the canal repair site reached 100,000, and the number of people who participated in the construction of the canal reached 300,000 in 10 years. Decades later, the reason why the spirit of Hongqiqu has shown more and more strong vitality is because it embodies the high degree of compatibility between the party's propositions and the will of the masses.
Ten years of canal construction can be described as a twist and turn, not only to overcome natural difficulties, but also to face various risks and pressures. Yang Guihe and the group of the county party committee at that time not only took the lead in setting an example, dared to take responsibility, but also were good at taking responsibility. Yang Gui dares to think and do things, and dares to be the first in the world. Whether it is boldly putting forward the idea of diverting water from abroad across provinces, or digging a canal in the incomparably hard Taihang mountainside, and mobilizing hundreds of thousands of laborers to embark on a single project, this requires extraordinary courage and the ability to take responsibility.
In July 1961, Tan Zhenlin, then vice premier of the State Council, held a meeting in Xinxiang, and in the face of all kinds of criticism and rumors, Yang Gui said truthfully: "We are all members of the Communist Party and party cadres, and we must not watch the drought in the fields and the crops not grow, and more than 100,000 people cross the mountains to find water to eat without doing anything. The Hongqi Canal was built for the masses of Linxian County, and I have a clear conscience. I am the first secretary of the county party committee, and I should bear the responsibility. ”
How much responsibility can be done. If he had not put aside his personal gains and losses and put the interests of the people in the highest position in his heart, the Hongqi Canal would never have been able to be built.
Mu Qing, former director of the Xinhua News Agency, who is known as a hero in the press circles, wrote many famous works with enthusiasm with the frankness and sincerity of a true communist, deep affection and love for the people. His reportage "The Role Model of County Party Committee Secretaries - Jiao Yulu" enthusiastically praised the advanced deeds of Lankao County Party Secretary Jiao Yulu in leading the people to overcome natural disasters.

Similarly, Mu Qing greatly appreciated the spirit of the people of Linxian (present-day Linzhou City) in pioneering rocks, changing the world, and starting a business with painstaking efforts; he visited Linxian many times to cover the mountains and forged a deep friendship with the builders of the Hongqi Canal; in the preface to the book "Yang Gui and the Hongqi Canal," he wrote: The achievements of the Hongqi Canal and the mountainous areas of Linxian County have been promptly publicized by the Xinhua News Agency, Renmin Ribao, Henan Ribao, and many other news media and reporters. Zhou Enlai, Li Xiannian, Tan Zhenlin, Tao Zhu, and other central leaders also praised Yang Gui and the Linxian County CPC Committee on many occasions; Renmin Ribao twice published editorials praising "the Linxian County CPC Committee as the core of Marxist-Leninist leadership for the people of the whole county." As a leading member of the Xinhua News Agency, I have participated in organizing and compiling these reports, and I sincerely admire Yang Gui and Hongqiqu.
The feelings of the people of Linxian for Yang Gui and Hongqiqu are inseparable and closely linked. In the early 90s, Yang Gui returned to Linxian twice, and the vast number of cadres and masses rushed to Yang Gui, and the scene was very moving. Comrade Li Changchun, then leader of the Henan Provincial CPC Committee, said with emotion: Every leading cadre of ours must be like Comrade Yang Gui and maintain flesh-and-blood ties with the masses of the people; After leaving his post for many years, he is still supported and loved by the masses. Xinhua News Agency reporter Wu Chengde wrote an internal reference article entitled "Comrade Yang Gui's Return to Linxian County Welcomed by the Masses" based on an on-the-spot interview, which aroused great repercussions among leading cadres.
So far, in one sentence: Only with the people in your heart, as long as you throw yourself down to do things for the people, do practical things, and do good things, the people will always welcome and love you, and they will always remember you, and they will make the deeds immortal, so that people's names and spirits will be immortal!
