Introduction: The Miyun Reservoir began to be built in June 1958 and was completed in September 1960, which can be called a miracle in the construction of water conservancy projects.
At that time, the country had just been founded, and water conservancy projects were the top priority, which could solve the flood disaster and solve the water supply in Beijing.
This is the common people of Huairou, both men and women, all of whom are strong young people.
There are no tractors, no trucks, so they use rickshaws to pull carts, and few young people nowadays have done this hard work, and their shoulders will be blistered, calluses, shoes are worn out, and there are many blisters on the soles of their feet.
These builders have made great contributions to the construction of the Miyun Reservoir, in the wind and rain, in the water, in the mud, there is not much wages at all, a few cents a day, the real spirit of Yugong moving mountains.
Some of these tools were brought by farmers from their homes, shovels, wicker baskets, iron picks, and bulldozers.
Some families went into battle together, the labor tools at that time were too simple, there were few labor protection gloves, and finally there was a thick layer of calluses on the hands, and I didn't know that it hurt.
There are 200,000 commune members and more than 10,000 PLA soldiers who participated in the construction of the Miyun Reservoir. In summer, I sweat in the heat, and the oil is shining, and in the winter, it is still hot and dry at more than ten degrees below zero.
There are laborers all over the mountains, these people can be said to be the most beautiful laborers, the predecessors planted trees and the people enjoy the shade, and now the Miyun Reservoir is already a scenic spot.

It's hard to imagine that these young girls also have to be on the construction site, and many girls can even endure hardships than men, but in old age, their health is not very good, their backs hurt and their legs hurt, and they are tired when they are young.
There were limited horse-drawn carts, donkey carts, ox carts at that time.
