A few days ago, Benzhuang Town, Shiquan County, organized all party members and cadres, forest rangers, and cadres and workers of the water supply company, as well as all party members and enthusiastic masses from 6 villages (residences) including Xinzhuang, Longtun, Shagou, Liping, Shankou Ao, and Xinglong, to divide into 8 dredging groups to carry out dredging and dredging activities in the Dongfeng Canal, leading party members to practice their original mission and responsibility in being pragmatic for the people, and promoting the study and education of party history in the grass-roots party organizations.
"Today, we organize party members and cadres and the masses to carry out dredging operations in Dongfengqu, that is, to mobilize the enthusiasm of the vast number of party members and cadres in serving the masses by doing practical things, doing good deeds, and solving difficulties, further condensing the strength of grass-roots party organizations and party members, constantly improving the ability and ability of officials to start a business, promoting the deep integration of party history study and education with serving the people and doing practical things, so that organizational strength and combat effectiveness can be condensed in the frontline of serving the people." Teng Jianjun, secretary of the party committee of Benzhuang Town, encouraged all cadres and the masses at the mobilization meeting.
Dongfeng Canal is located in the territory of Benzhuang Town, in May 1966, in the difficult conditions of no design drawings and no professional and technical guidance, the party and government comrades in charge of Benzhuang Town at that time organized 115,000 brigades and militia and masses such as Shagou, Zhongping, Xinping, Liangshan, Yingtun and other brigades, raised 153,000 yuan, built a stone dam in the Two Forks River in Yanmen Village, dug a 2-kilometer cliff cliff through the hanging well, and built a 34-kilometer main canal and a 42-kilometer branch canal. The design flow of the main canal is 1 cubic meter /0.3 seconds, the design irrigation is 5400 mu, and the irrigation is 3600 mu. In 1978, in order to make good use of the water volume of the water channel, a 200-kilowatt power station was built at the hanging well of the main canal of the Dongfeng Canal. In 1985, water was diverted from walnut bay, the main canal of the Dongfeng Canal, and a 4-kilometer water pipeline was installed to provide drinking water for 4,572 people and 1,090 livestock in Honzhuang Town. After many renovations, the quality of the channel project has been greatly improved, and the water transportation capacity has been greatly improved, which is a typical water conservancy project.
"Do you have to do it, first come up and rest before you do it?" Dou Xingping, a 65-year-old veteran party member of the Xinglong community, smiled and agreed with the secretary of their branch. "It's okay, I can still do it, you rest first, you've been digging for a long time, you must be very tired, I'll take it up first, and you'll pay less later."
"Old man, you are so old, you still come to help you, this is water, it is mud, you have to climb such a big slope to get up, the family is not worried about you." 」 When asked about Huang Tinghua, a 59-year-old veteran party member, he was working hard and full of energy. "What's the worry, even the little grandson heard me say that I want to clean up the channels, I am very supportive, I myself am also an old party member, the party has been 24 years old, just this year's 100th anniversary of the founding of the party, the whole party is studying party history, we must take the initiative to do practical things for the masses."
In this activity, in addition to the party members and cadres, there are also many enthusiastic masses who spontaneously participate, they bring their own tools, prepare their own dry food, are not afraid of the scorching sun, are not afraid of hardship, and stand in the water for a whole day, even if their hands are injured, their feet are soaked white, and their clothes are covered with mud, they completely ignore it, and use their own fatigue index in exchange for the smooth index of the ditch, and contribute their strength to pragmatic affairs for the people.
"This is a great thing! I haven't cleaned it up like this for several years, and the fields below us all rely on this water to irrigate and help clean up this ditch, even if it is a big drought, my production and living water can be guaranteed. Thank you to the government, to these comrades who are party members. Yang Hai, a 45-year-old villager in Liping Village, said frankly after the dredging was completed.
"DongfengQu is like an 'old cattle', silently contributing and serving the drinking water and irrigation water of the residents of Honzhuang Town, and today we are all working hard to clean it up, hoping that it can better play its value and make due contributions to the high-quality development of local economy and society." Jing Yinglong, deputy director of the Honzhuang Town Water Station who has worked at the water station for decades, sighed so much.
After a whole day of joint efforts, the sediment, rocks, branches, rotten leaves and other debris that had accumulated and blocked in the channel for many years were removed, the silt was less, the channel was smoother, the water was more alive, and the smiles on the faces of the masses were more.
It is reported that since the launch of the party history study and education, the party committee and government of Benzhuang Town have adhered to high standards of planning and promoting from a high position, focusing on "studying party history, enlightening the mind, doing practical things, and opening up a new situation", paying close attention to the study and education of party history, solving dozens of various people's livelihood undertakings, and comprehensively enhancing the sense of gain, happiness, and satisfaction of the masses.
