When I was a child, I heard the story of Hongqiqu, watched the film documentary of Hongqiqu, and sang the theme song "I'll call the mountains and rivers to change clothes" of Hongqiqu. Let's take a look at it today, under the leadership of the branch leaders. Happy canal? Rich in connotation, listening to the moving stories of hard years decades ago.
Linxian County, Henan Province has few mountains, thick stones and thin soil, open caisson without springs and passive water diversion, and the natural conditions are very bad. At 1960, Yang Gui, Li Gui? Two expensive? Led by the leaders of the county party committee and government? Reorganize the rivers and mountains in Linxian County with the hard-working hands of Linxian people? They decided to dig a diversion canal in Taihang Mountain to introduce Zhanghe water from Pingshun County, Shanxi Province into Linxian County, and named this canal? Hongqi canal? .
The construction period of Hongqi Canal coincides with three years of natural disasters and? **? During the chaotic period, the canal repair project was huge, the construction environment was bad, the technical equipment was crude, and the funds and materials were in short supply. Migrant workers only have 6 Liang of grain mixed with wild vegetables every day to satisfy their hunger. 0.2 million/200 thousand migrant workers in Linxian overcame all kinds of difficulties to cut stones on Taihang Mountain, set up aqueducts 157, and opened 2 tunnels/kloc-0, and finally built a main canal with a width of 8 meters and a height of 6 meters and a total length of 7 1 km. The people of Linxian County have created this miracle by their own efforts, and even from today's perspective, it can be called human and material resources. Not to mention the conditions at that time, with the current level of science and technology, it was also quite difficult. Hongqi Canal winds on the cliffs between the mountains in Taihang Mountain area, just like? Artificial Tianhe? It runs through the whole territory of Linxian County. Its completion is over. Linxian? Water is as expensive as oil? History has greatly changed the production and living conditions of people in Linxian County, and also created famous scenic spots at home and abroad.
The spirit of Hongqi Canal is the spirit of taking the lead in setting an example and selfless dedication. Forty years have passed, and the people of China have gone through hard times. In the reality of prosperity, looking back at the clear sea, the red flag fluttering in the wind and the boiling crowd, we can't help feeling a lot. It seems that there is a spiritual force that attracts us, unites us and inspires us. The spirit of Hongqiqu, with its magnificent charm, is integrated into our national spirit and gives us profound enlightenment.
The spirit of hard struggle is needed in the pioneering period, and it is also needed when the living conditions are good. Self-reliance and hard work are the fine traditions of the Chinese nation and the political qualities of * * * producers. Hard work has different contents and requirements in different historical stages. We don't want to oppose hard work and improve material and cultural life, and we don't want to equate hard work with poverty and backwardness. Instead, we advocate being proactive and advancing with the times. China is in the primary stage, and the task of building a well-off society in an all-round way is very arduous. To achieve the great goal of rejuvenating China, we need to continue to make preparations for long-term and arduous struggle, need leading cadres at all levels to suffer before enjoying, and need to educate our future generations to make unremitting efforts.
The spirit of Hongqi Canal is an eternal banner, which has impressed generations. A nation needs a national spirit, and an era needs a spirit of the times. In the new historical period, although the conditions are good, there are still mountains and rapids on the way forward. In the primary stage of * * *, our construction task is still very heavy, and it will take several generations and more than ten generations to realize the ideal of modernization. In the new century and new stage, we still need to call on the spirit of Hongqiqu, carry forward the spirit of Hongqiqu, endow it with new connotation of the times, and make it a great force for reform, opening up and modernization.
Compared with the cadres in Linxian County in those years, the cadres have a better working environment, higher academic qualifications and broader horizons. However, it is undeniable that some cadres and the masses have lost their concepts, have a poor style of getting along with the people, and are weak in self-reliance and hard struggle. Carrying forward the spirit of Hongqi Canal will help guide and inspire the broad masses of leading cadres to establish the idea of serving the people wholeheartedly, just like a group of people in Linxian County who organized the construction of Hongqi Canal in those years, they are United, pragmatic and selfless. The construction of Hongqi Canal is a model for the county party committee, party organizations at all levels and party member cadres in the county to persist in governing for the people. At that time, the Linxian County Committee thought of what the people thought, was anxious about what the people were anxious about, and did practical things and good deeds for the people wholeheartedly. Here, the tasks of the party, the interests of the people, the transformation of nature and the development of productive forces are organically combined.
It is necessary to combine the study and promotion of the spirit of the Red Flag Canal with the study of advanced models such as Jiao, Li and Yang, educate the broad masses of leading cadres to establish a sense of public servants and serving the people, earnestly enhance their sense of responsibility, serve the next official and benefit one party, keep close contact with the masses, and solve problems for the masses. We should keep in mind two musts, establish a scientific concept of development and achievements, and make the spirit of Hongqi Canal a powerful spiritual driving force for modernization.
The spirit of Hongqi Canal is touching and inspiring. It reflects the call of the times and the wishes of the people. The spirit of Hongqiqu will not fade with the passage of time, but will last forever, shine brightly and stay in people's hearts forever. Standing in the new stage of the new century, we should read the story of Hongqi Canal, think about our historical mission today, carry forward the spirit of Hongqi Canal, do our job well and make contributions to the four modernizations of the motherland.
