"The Red Flag Canal is a monument, which records the heroic spirit of the people of Lin County who refuse to accept their fate, refuse to give in, and dare to fight the sky and the earth." In October 2022, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to the Red Flag Canal Memorial Hall in Anyang, Henan, staring at the pictures and lines of text, looking back at this heroic struggle history.
The severe drought in history has been recorded in Lin County, Henan Province. The severe drought hit again in 1959. In order to solve the drinking water problem, in the 1960s, 100,000 Kaishan people split mountains and built canals on the waist of Taihang Mountain, leading the water of the Zhang River into Lin County.
Make the tools yourself, burn the lime yourself, pick the building materials on the spot, and learn from the technical school. The people of Lin County have dug a hundred-mile "artificial Tianhe" Red Flag Canal on the cliffs of the Taihang Mountains. When the gate opened and the Zhang River was rolling in, countless people cried with joy.
This year marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of the All-China Federation of Trade Unions and the 60th anniversary of the opening of the main main channel of the Hongqi Canal. The spirit of self-reliance, hard work, unity and cooperation, and selfless dedication nurtured during the construction of the Hongqi Canal is like the endless canal water, traveling through time and space, and is renewed over time.
