The 7-year-old man said, "Gu Jing played an important role in solving the problem of drinking water for people in Huating Village and Gangtouyuan Village in Huocun. When the war was raging and the war was raging, the people were hungry for a full meal. The poor families could only use the ancient well water to make tea and eat cassava, and they struggled to raise several children. "
