Chapter 41 Chapter 40
There is a city whose name is known to many people because they have used its "Lianmianzhen" toothpaste, eaten its "Golden Throat" throat lozenges, seen the "GM Wuling" minicars running all over the street, and There are "World Liugong" machines from China...
This is an industrial city. In 1992, its total industrial output value was the first to achieve 10 billion yuan among the five ethnic minority autonomous region cities in the country. In 2009, it sprinted to 200 billion yuan with all its strength, and by 2012 it aimed at the goal of 400 billion yuan...
It is Liuzhou, an important industrial town in southwest China with more than 3,000 industrial enterprises.
In the past, Liuzhou, due to industrial pollution, left people with too many bad memories of "dirty, messy, and poor", and because it often suffered from floods, it attracted people's attention.In recent years, Liuzhou has frequently shown its beautiful face to people, realizing the gorgeous turn from an important industrial town to a livable city.As a result, a large number of entrepreneurs from all over the country gathered in Liuzhou, settlers from all over the world settled in Liuzhou, and even foreign friends of different skin colors from overseas left their roots in Liuzhou.
Liuzhou has really changed.
Clear water and blue sky, willows Yiyi.The American "Liuzhou Boy" Gio, who works as a business consultant in Liuzhou Yanghe Industrial New Zone, has the happiest moment when he is holding his daughter's hand and taking a walk in the breeze by the Liujiang River.He said the feeling was "like walking in a gallery".
Mike and his wife, a foreign teacher from Liuzhou Teachers College in Los Angeles, have lived in Liuzhou for two years. "The scenery is getting more and more beautiful" is one of the reasons why he likes Liuzhou.He never tires of visiting the ethnic customs and scenic spots in Liuzhou, because "here you can see the real China".
This is the same feeling of people in Liuzhou today, a sincere heartfelt voice.
Today's Liuzhou, its ecological environment and urban living have won the full affirmation of Premier Wen Jiabao of the State Council: "Liuzhou's mountains and rivers are beautiful and clean'" and "Liujiang River is the largest brand in Guangxi, and there is no second one in the country!" The Premier's praise , Bringing a great sense of honor to Liuzhou people.
Happy Liuzhou, under the background of many deteriorating rivers and rivers today, the people of Liuzhou, no, the people in the entire Liujiang River Basin are so lucky.Because this happiness is inseparable from the water of the Liujiang River.People's eyes often regard the scenery they are seeing as the most beautiful. This is human instinct and a psychological guide to happiness.The natural landscape may indeed be different, but the beautiful scenery will lead people to a farther ideal place.
About the Liujiang River, about all the mother rivers, since Dayu's flood control, generations of people have been concerned about governance, protection, utilization, and construction. These key words are often deafening!This is the common aspiration of the people, after all, the mother river has raised us generation after generation...
In Guangxi, various artificial measures are taken to control and allocate rivers to prevent floods and droughts, and the activities of developing, utilizing and protecting water resources have a long history.
Guo Moruo once said that "there is the Great Wall in the north and Lingqu in the south".The Guilin Xing'an Lingqu Canal dug in the Qin Dynasty is a great water control project in ancient my country.After Qin Shihuang unified the Central Plains, in the 28th to 30th years of the first emperor [219-217 BC], he ordered the supervisor Shi Lu to supervise the construction of the bridge connecting the Xiangjiang River and the Lijiang River, and connecting the Yangtze River system and the Pearl River system.Lingqu is a complete water conservancy project system, which has been a sustainable development project for thousands of years. It has enabled the reasonable development and protection of the water of the Lijiang River, and enabled the ships to "follow the cliffs and go down from the mountains". As a result, it combines the four unique victories of "green mountains, beautiful water, strange caves, and beautiful stones", and enjoys the reputation of "the best in the world". Today, the Lijiang River has been called "the river of world tourism".
The Xiangsidai Canal built in the first year of Wu Zetian's longevity in the Tang Dynasty [692] was a major achievement in the history of water conservancy and shipping in China.The canal connects the Lijiang River and the Liujiang River system, and was the waterway transportation hub of Hunan, Guangxi and Guizhou in ancient times.Jin Hong of the Qing Dynasty recorded in the "Lingui Douhe Stele": "The Zihe River is also formed. The water flows back and is stored and discharged according to the time. After the farmers irrigate, they also set up fish beams to benefit from the silting of the land and the people's salty labor. .” It can be seen that the comprehensive utilization benefits of this water control project are very significant.
Guangxi is rich in water resources. Its theoretical reserves of hydropower resources are 17.52 million kilowatts. Guangxi people have been in dialogue with these waters.Therefore, there are many stories about Liujiang.
Jianghe has no language or characters, but it creates countless expressions.
Zi Zai Chuan said: The dead are like husbands.
Liujiang, a first-class tributary of the Hongshui River, is named after Liuzhou.Liujiang was called Tanshui in the Western Han Dynasty, also known as Liushui. Because "Liu" and "Liu" have the same pronunciation, it is called "Liu".It originates from Dushan County, Guizhou Province. It flows from northwest to southeast. The upper reaches are called Duliu River. After entering Guangxi, Laobaokou and Guyi River in Sanjiang Dong Autonomous County are called Rongjiang River. After flowing through Rongan and Rongshui counties When it arrived at Liucheng, it was called Liujiang, and then entered the urban area of Liuzhou. It meanders and flows through the urban area like a tumbling dragon in a reverse S shape, and flows towards the Sanjiangkou in Shilong Town, Xiangzhou County, where it flows into the Qianjiang River and then flows into the city. Enter Xijiang.The main stream is 772 kilometers long and 474 kilometers in Guangxi.The average annual runoff for many years is 52.7 billion cubic meters, and the annual runoff depth is 902 mm.
The Liujiang River Basin has a subtropical marine monsoon climate and is often the center of heavy rains. The floods are very harmful. The floods are very fierce, with violent rises and falls, and the rising speed is extremely fast. Suffering will happen again and again.Only in the 20th century, there were three catastrophic floods in 1988, 1994, and 1996. Many streets in Liuzhou, an important industrial town, were submerged overnight. Forced to stop operations, the Flood caused heavy losses in human life and property.
The normally docile water becomes even more frightening once it loses its mind. In an instant, everything is involved in the turbulent waves. This becomes another meaning of the world and nature.
However, the topography of the basin is high in the north and low in the south, and there are many beaches and rapid currents, which make the Liujiang River very rich in hydraulic resources.It has an average annual runoff of 41.31 billion cubic meters in Guangxi, a theoretical reserve of hydropower resources of 4.558 million kilowatts, and an installed capacity of 1.93 million kilowatts of hydropower stations that can be developed.It not only brings disasters to mankind, but also brings vitality and hope to people.
This is a rich river of hydraulic power, and it is a rich mine of energy.The management and development of Liuzhou have affected the hearts of many generations. The mountains and rivers of the thousand-year-old river are full of the hard work, sweat and wisdom of the hydropower builders.
In the 1930s, Li Zongren, who was born in Guilin, Guangxi, invited a group of more than 20 Chinese engineers to Guangxi to inspect the Hongshui River Basin, and proposed a governance plan including the Liujiang River.Later, due to the continuous civil war and the lack of peace in the country, the plan of the later acting President Li became a dead letter.
In the early 1950s, the Guangxi Provincial People's Government and relevant state departments paid attention to the development of Guangxi's water resources. In the winter of 1951, a survey team consisting of 8 people from the Guangxi Provincial Water Conservancy Bureau, plus 20 security personnel began to march into the Hongshui River.This is the first time for the hydropower builders sent by the People's Republic of China to "test the water". The survey team took several small sampans, went down the river from the upper reaches, explored dangerous shoals and canyons, visited Yaozhai villages in Zhuang villages, read ancient books of county annals, and collected hydrological data. Geological data, overcoming bandit raids and difficult conditions, took 3 months to survey the river section from the upper reaches to Guiping, and wrote the first "Hongshui River Basin Survey Report".
This is the first step of people's water control practice in Guangxi, and it is a scientific expedition.Although limited by material and financial resources, many projects cannot be completed and many goals have not been achieved, but no one can erase the unique spiritual connotation of wealth.To control the water and seek wealth from nature, this is the declaration issued by New China!
In 1953, the Second Survey Team of the Pearl River Water Conservancy Engineering Bureau and relevant departments in Guangxi jointly sent personnel to survey the Hongshui River and Liujiang River, and the survey formed the "Report on the Survey of Hongshui River, Liujiang River and Qianjiang River". , the Pearl River Office is directly responsible for the planning of the main stream of the Xijiang River and the tributaries of the Yu, Liu, and Guijiang Rivers.Later, under the unified organization and coordination of the Ministry of Water Resources and Electric Power of the People's Republic of China, hydropower builders from Guizhou, Hunan, Yunnan, Beijing and other places also successively set foot on this hot land.
Because in the 1950s, overcoming flood disasters and developing agricultural production were the theme of the era of water conservancy construction, and Soviet experts at that time also one-sidedly emphasized the use of water energy resources; coupled with the lack of experience in the initial stage of planning, lack of understanding of the difficulties in population, land, immigration, etc., The planning of river management in this period focused on the benefits of flood control, envisaging the construction of a series of high dams and large reservoirs, and the flood control of the Xijiang River and even the Pearl River Delta.If the construction is carried out according to the planning made under the guidance of this idea, there will inevitably be a large number of flooding problems in the reservoir area and a large amount of land loss.
In the early 1960s, due to the adjustment of the national economy in order to overcome the suffering caused by the "Great Leap Forward", and the large-scale reduction of capital construction, no funds were invested in the planning of water control and the development and utilization of water resources.
After 1978, China implemented a major policy centered on economic construction, and Guangxi's water control and power construction have seen an unprecedented good situation, which can be described as fruitful and remarkable.
In 1981, the State Council approved the river planning report of the Hongshui River focusing on power generation - the development section of the Hongshui River cascade hydropower station, with a total length of about 1,200 kilometers and 10 cascade hydropower stations, setting a record among many in the world. A batch of hydropower stations The construction of the projects has started one after another. The dams standing upright like the backbone of the dragon are stepping on the hard granite foundation stones at the bottom of the water, rising like mountains from the rolling river water...
In 1983, the Xijiang Bureau of the Pearl River Water Conservancy Committee of the Ministry of Water Resources, in accordance with the requirements of the "Pearl River Basin Planning Task Book" issued by the Pearl River Water Conservancy Committee of the Ministry of Water Resources, based on past work and in accordance with the principles of overall planning and comprehensive utilization, finally carried out comprehensive utilization of the Liujiang River. In June 1986, the "Pearl River Basin Xijiang River System Liujiang Comprehensive Utilization Planning Report" was put forward.
In 1990, the Ministry of Water Resources submitted the "Request for Review Opinions on the Comprehensive Utilization Planning Report of the Pearl River Basin" to the State Council in document [1990] No. 33.The review comments clearly stated: "The development policy of the Liujiang River is an overall plan for flood control, irrigation, shipping, and power generation, and comprehensive development. The plan sets up the Rongjiang River, Banzhai, Congjiang, Yangxi, Mashi, Pumice, Guding, Dapu, and Honghua. Nine steps." In 1993, the State Council issued the "Reply of the State Council on the Comprehensive Planning of the Pearl River Basin" in Guohan [1993] No. 70, which agreed with the Ministry of Water Resources' request and pointed out: "The main stream of the West River, the main stream of the Beijiang River, the main stream of the Dongjiang River and the The water level development planning of the ten major rivers [river sections] of the main tributaries of the Xijiang River, Beipan River, Liu River, Yu River, Gui River, and He River, should be implemented in a planned manner, and attention should be paid to the connection of water levels between the steps and shipping.”
This is the echo of history, but it has gone a long way; this is the realization of the dream of harnessing and developing the Liujiang River, which is full of the hard work of many hydropower people.Every step, or the water is poor, or the clouds are rising, the twists and turns, the ups and downs, have made generations of Chinese hydropower builders unable to help but sigh.
The times have changed, the sun and the moon have changed, and many things have become memories. However, although the cloud shadow is far away, it is still clear.
Without the past, there is no present.
Without looking back, the story of Liujiang would not be a complete legend.
The world can be big or small.
Every living independent body has its own new cognition specific world.
Liu Bei took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to visit the thatched cottage three times in Longzhong, and the first thing he heard was Zhuge Liang's talk about the world after his afternoon nap. Since then, he has established his own Shuhan country in a clear concept of the world.A piece of "Three Kingdoms" made the Chinese see Zhuge Liang who was a master of calculations, and made people feel that such a world situation was just pretending in the stomach of the scholar.
The world is always full of temptations. To be able to be a part of the world depends first on whether you really understand the new world pattern you are facing, and whether you have enough foresight, courage, wisdom and passion.
Since the beginning of the new century, the implementation of the western development strategy and the strategy of power transmission from west to east has brought a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hydropower development in Guangxi: the world-class giant dragon dam known as the leading power station of the Hongshui River, second only to the Three Gorges in installed capacity. Construction of the Tan Hydropower Station started, and it became a landmark project for the west-to-east power transmission in the western development. It echoes the world's largest Three Gorges Hydropower Station, showing the bright future of my country's hydropower industry, and pushing Guangxi's hydropower development to its heyday.Governments at all levels in Guangxi have come up with local advantageous resources and projects, and have begun to explore market-oriented methods. They have gone to Guangdong, the frontier of China's reform and opening up, to attract investment.At the Liuzhou project promotion meeting held in Guangdong, the Liujiang hydropower development project immediately attracted the attention of Guangdong Meiyan Enterprise [Group] Co., Ltd.Guangdong Meiyan Enterprise [Group] Co., Ltd. is the first joint-stock transformation pilot in Meizhou, Guangdong Province. It is a township enterprise approved by the Guangdong Provincial Government to carry out joint-stock transformation. The transformation was successful in October 1992. Listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange on September 12, 1994, it is a large-scale comprehensive listed company. The company relies on resource advantages and technological progress to promote the continuous optimization and upgrading of the industrial structure. Hydropower is one of the company's three pillar industries. The company has successfully developed several hydropower stations in Guangdong.
In a sense, Meiyan Group is seeking a pole of the world with unique influence.This refers to the production, marketing, and innovation of enterprises, and it is the world that expands the space for survival and development.If you want to share the world, you must rationally and passionately pursue the best interests you can pursue in the industry. That is undoubtedly a bright and feasible path, even though the world has already been pointed out by many industry giants. , divided and divided.
The age of capital has arrived, and it is transforming China with an overwhelming force, and it is also changing people's lives and destiny.Dreams are an important driving force for human life activities.It is both material and spiritual.The dream of Yang Qinhuan, the leader and chairman of Meiyan Group, is to create a great enterprise for the country and the nation.In an era of acceleration unprecedented in human history, a capital era full of challenges, leading an enterprise step by step towards a starry and hopeful future, providing a strong impetus for the country's sustainable development!
In fact, there is no doubt about it.
Because of his keenness and courage, Yang Qinhuan aimed at the Liujiang Honghua Hydropower Station promoted by Liuzhou City from the very beginning.The Honghua Hydropower Station is the most downstream cascade in the Liujiang plan. The plan recommends a normal water storage level of 75-79 meters; an installed capacity of 180,000 kilowatts; and a navigable level of 1,000 tons.
Everyone knows that Liuzhou has a complete range of industries, including a metallurgical industry dominated by iron and steel and non-ferrous metals, a machinery industry dominated by automobiles and construction machinery, a building materials industry dominated by cement, an export-oriented textile industry and It is the largest industrial base in Guangxi with five pillar industries including sugar, cigarettes, and paper-based light industry.According to statistics in 2001, the gross domestic product of Liuzhou was 15.032 billion yuan. It is estimated that the gross domestic product in 2005 will reach more than 21.2 billion yuan based on the constant price in 2000.The demand for electricity is large, but the electric energy of the local grid is far from meeting the demand.
Yang Qinhuan clearly understands that hydropower is a clean, cheap and renewable energy, and countries all over the world attach great importance to the development of hydropower.At present, in developed countries such as Europe, America and Japan, the development rate of hydropower resources has reached more than 90%, of which the United States is 93%, and Norway and Japan have reached 100%.Although we have achieved world-renowned achievements after the reform and opening up, China's current hydropower development has only reached about 20% of the development volume.However, my country's power production and consumption of coal account for more than 75% of the total consumption. Whether it is from the perspective of rationally deploying energy or protecting the environment, hydropower has a very good prospect.Guangxi is a bridge for the interconnection of the four southern provinces [districts] and a channel for "power transmission from west to east".According to the "2015 Guangxi Power Grid Target Framework Plan", Guangxi should give full play to its advantages, build Guangxi into a power supply base for "West-to-East Power Transmission", further strengthen the supporting role of Guangxi Power Grid in "West-to-East Power Transmission", and plan to start from 2006 Guangxi will send 1,000,000 kilowatts of electricity to Guangdong starting from 2010.Therefore, the power construction in Guangxi is not only to meet the needs of Guangxi's own electricity consumption, but also an effective supplement to the power shortage of "West to East Power Transmission".The Honghua Hydropower Station is adjacent to Liuzhou City, the power load center, with an installed capacity of 230,000 kilowatts, an average annual power generation of about 902 million kilowatt hours, and a total project investment of about 1.8 billion yuan. Its construction will greatly promote the development of Liuzhou City.Therefore, the construction of Honghua Hydropower Station is not only an effective supplement to the construction of Guangxi power grid, but also a necessary support for the economic construction of Liuzhou City.The Meiyan Group, which regards hydropower as a pillar industry, can no longer sit still.
The Liujiang River is an important traffic waterway in Liuzhou City. It can reach Guizhou on the upper flight, and Wuzhou, Guangzhou, Hong Kong and Macau on the lower flight.But at present, although the waterway improvement measures have been taken, the navigation standard can only reach 300 tons.According to the shipping plan of Liuqian River approved by the State Council, after combining the construction of Dateng Gorge and Honghua Hydropower Station and the improvement of some river sections, it can be navigable to 1,000 tons.
This prospect is the temptation of the west, and it firmly attracts Yang Qinhuan from the east.
Yang Qinhuan was drawing his blueprint with his head.
Yang Qinhuan was born in April 1952 in Meixian, Guangdong. In 1974, he worked as a worker in Meixian Yanyang Engineering Team and served as the business leader; in 1984, he was appointed as the manager of Meixian No. 2 Construction Engineering Company; in 1987, he was appointed as the general manager of Meiyan Enterprise Group Company; in 1993, he was appointed as the director of Guangdong Meiyan Enterprise [Group] Co., Ltd. Chairman and general manager; since August 2000, he has been the chairman of Guangdong Meiyan Enterprise [Group] Co., Ltd.Is the ninth, the tenth National People's Congress.
During the interview, I learned that he is a very low-key person who hardly attends large-scale events, does not even use scissors when the projects he sponsors are completed, and does not like being reported by the media.
He said that he likes to do a good job dutifully, do what he says, and don't be afraid of failure.There is an endless climbing road under our feet, full of hardships and challenges. To build Meiyan into a "century-old enterprise", we must go all out.
When he was the chairman, he was 41 years old, and he was a "young cadre" who was "in the prime of life".
The sincere invitation from Liuzhou moved Meiyan Group deeply.There is a long way to go.Yang Qinhuan calculated the team members over and over again, and he had a bottom line in his mind: he wanted to arrange the most suitable people to the most suitable positions.
Therefore, Chairman Yang immediately decided that Deputy General Manager Wan Wensheng, on behalf of Guangdong Meiyan Group, immediately flew to Liuzhou, Guangxi to negotiate with the Liuzhou Municipal Government on the investment and development of Liujiang Honghua Hydropower Station.
That was September 9, 2002.
Together with Wan Wensheng, Feng Guoliang, deputy director of the Second Bureau of Guangdong Hydropower Bureau, Feng Yaozhong, general manager of the Survey and Design Group of Guangdong Pearl River Water Conservancy Commission, and You Zanpei, deputy general manager, etc., this trip shows the sincerity and determination of Meiyan Group In order to prepare for the development of Liujiang hydropower construction, this battle must be fought.
Mei Yanfang, headed by Wan Wensheng, negotiated with the Liuzhou Municipal Government 9 times between Meizhou and Liuzhou.The reason is that according to the original investment plan, there was only the Honghua Hydropower Station. During the negotiation, the Liuzhou side took a fancy to Meiyan’s sincerity and strength, and added that they wanted to go to the Honghua Hydropower Station. Only the hydropower station and the Guding Hydropower Station can be used for safflower.They also call it "testing the waters" grandiosely.Meiyan is also very straightforward. Wan Wensheng listened carefully to the requirements and opinions of the Liuzhou Municipal Government. He put forward the principle of pursuing integrity and pursuing perfection. His work attitude and quality of work won the recognition of the Liuzhou Municipal Government.After the negotiation, Yang Qinhuan said that as long as it was a project to develop Liujiang, Mei Yan would do it.
In September of that year, Meiyan Group signed an agreement with the Liuzhou Municipal Government and officially obtained the right to develop hydropower resources in the Liuzhou section of the Liujiang River. The first phase of investment projects included: Investing 800 million yuan in the construction of the Dapu Hydropower Station in Liucheng County, Invest 1.8 billion yuan in the development and construction of Honghua Hydropower Station in Liujiang County, and invest 800 million yuan in the development and construction of Guding Hydropower Station in Rongshui Miao Autonomous County.Investing more than 3.4 billion yuan at once, Meiyan Group gritted its teeth, with enthusiasm and passion, and went.Without the transmission of a kind of belief and spirit, there would be no rapid advance of today's Meiyan Group.
Resolute, decisive, and resolute, these are the most frequently used words by the Liuzhou Municipal Government when evaluating Meiyan Group.Yes, it is their determination and decisiveness that made the brilliant achievement that the project was put into operation more than 40 days ahead of schedule.
If it is a wild goose, it will definitely stretch out those wide wings.
If you are a wild goose, you must fly to a higher sky to soar.
Wherever it can survive and develop, it is its home.
These condensed words, which seem to be too condensed to be omitted, are not empty at all in Mei Yan. Their confidence in managing and using water is enough to show that passion can be touched in many cases.
The dictionary says that wild geese have the habit of migrating long distances from autumn to spring, relying on geomagnetism, the sun and stars to identify directions, and also relying on wind direction, temperature, and especially the smell of water to identify directions.
The wind came from the east, and a wild goose flew down on the Liujiang River, because it smelled the smell of Liujiang water.
At this time, the sun shone down from the clear blue sky, and then countless bright lights flashed like a dream. The angel with blue eyes turned into light was scattering clusters of summer roses on the holy river.
Seasons repeat themselves like old days.There is always a new play on the natural scene, for Heaven always creates a new audience.
In September 2002, Meiyan Group officially entered Liuzhou.
In October, Meiyan Group formally controlled Guangxi Liuzhou Guiliu Hydropower Co., Ltd.Since the Liuzhou Municipal Government asked the Meiyan Group to go to the Dapu Hydropower Station first, they are in a hurry for the local government!Wu Shaoliang, Chairman of Guangxi Liuzhou Guiliu Hydropower Co., Ltd. said.The Da Po Hydropower Project was originally a "marathon" project.As early as the 1920s, the development of the Liujiang River Basin has been put on the agenda of Liuzhou City. In August 1992, the three links and one leveling project of Dapu Hydropower Station started, and the main project started in August 1993.Due to the constraints of domestic supporting funds and the use of foreign capital on loan, the project was basically suspended from May 1995 to October 2000.
For thousands of years, the Liujiang River has been rippling and flowing day and night, and has accumulated thousands of stories on the land of Guangxi. Some stories are wonderful, while others are helpless.
The Dapu Water Conservancy Project is located about 2 kilometers downstream of Dapu Town, Liucheng County, in the Rongjiang section of the main stream of Liujiang River, and 60 kilometers away from Liuzhou City. It is a project with comprehensive utilization benefits such as power generation, shipping, irrigation, and aquaculture.After completion, the axis of the project dam is 730 meters long, the maximum dam height is 35.3 meters, the total storage capacity is 588 million cubic meters, the normal water storage level is 93.0 meters, the installed capacity is 90,000 kilowatts, the Liujiang River is channelized for 60 kilometers, and the 100-ton fleet is navigable to improve farmland Irrigate 30,000 mu.
After the completion of the Dapu Hydropower Station, it will have huge benefits for the shipping of the three provinces of Guizhou, Guangxi, and Guangdong [regions], and can greatly improve the benefits of the downstream cascade hydropower stations. It is of great significance to optimize the allocation and promote the economic development and social progress of the region.
Therefore, it is a key project at the Guangxi Autonomous Region level and the expectation of Liucheng people.The delay in Tai Po is too long, the waiting time is too long.They didn't want to wait another minute.
In October 2002, the intervention of Meiyan Group brought capital, technology and a new management model to the construction of the Dapu Water Conservancy Project. brought life.The people in Liucheng laughed, and the construction site began to be full of traffic and colorful flags were flying.
Meiyan people have made great strides in Liuzhou, and the progress of the project is changing with each passing day.It should be said that among them, Wan Wensheng was the vanguard of the Meiyan people in creating the Liujiang hydropower business.
Many people who know Wan Wensheng say that Wan Wensheng is blessed. He is tall and burly, and in the current buzzword, he is very handsome.Wan Wensheng didn't say a word to this statement, his basic reaction was to smile, of course he knew that this reflected one of the Chinese people's views on reading people formed under the influence of thousands of years of oriental culture, which was full of idealistic color of seeking good fortune , but at least such comments are never offensive.
This middle-aged man who was born in the same year as Yang Qinhuan and struggled together, and has struggled in the mountains of the motherland for decades, is the party secretary and deputy general manager of Meiyan Group.He is a native of Wuhan, Hubei, and a native of the Yangtze River. He once remembered that Qu Yuan wrote "Li Sao" by the Yangtze River and became famous in China; Zhou Yu and Sun Quan burned Chibi and defeated Cao Cao, which shocked the world.
As the folk song said, there are nine-headed birds in the sky, and Hubei guys on the ground.This is to praise Hubei people for being smart, capable, hardworking, and courageous.
Wan Wensheng's courage is like his figure, telling us that Mei Yan will not be absent from the development of Liujiang.
This is a kind of domineering, but also a kind of atmosphere.
When are people most angry?It is a time full of ideals and passion.
He reminds us of a slogan once used by China Central Television: As big as the heart is, the stage is as big as it is.
He said that running a business is like fighting a war, and one must have the courage to "take down positions one by one."
Chatting with Wan Wensheng face to face, you can easily be infected by his persistent hydropower complex. At that moment, you also understand why he entered the role as soon as he arrived in Liujiang, and he couldn't wait to get on the horse.The pair of eyes that God arranged on Wan Wensheng Guozi's face are large and surprisingly radiant, making one feel that those eyes always seem to be able to accurately capture what he wants to capture.When he spoke, his voice had a strong penetrating quality, coupled with his quick thinking and passion in his words, the chatter sitting opposite him could clearly feel the clean, steady and thoughtful work style of this middle-aged man.However, Wan Wensheng is not a ostentatious person. His focused eyes and bell-like voice cannot drown out the original simplicity and gentleness in his bones. The passion in the hydropower industry is also achieved through equal conversations. It is becoming more and more obvious.With a clear mind, arduous practice and love for hydropower, this Meiyan man who was sent to Guangxi managed the hydropower industry in Guangxi prosperously.
With the resumption of work and accelerated progress of the Dapu Hydropower Station, the Honghua Hydropower Station located in the lower reaches of the Liujiang River also started construction on October 28, 2003.This project has been included in the major projects of Guangxi's "Tenth Five-Year Plan". billion.In addition, the Guding Hydropower Station has also entered the stage of "three links and one leveling" of the site.
With the smooth development of these three projects, the development of Luojiu, Yuanbaoshan, Mouton and Yangxi hydropower stations and water conservancy projects in the upper reaches of the Liujiang River has become a further consideration for Meiyan Group.In addition, the relatively rich silicon-manganese resources in the Liujiang River Basin, especially in the Rongshui area, have aroused the interest of the Meiyan Group. The combination of electricity and manganese can lengthen the industrial chain, thereby forming greater benefits.
It seems that Meiyan Group's business in Liuzhou is going to grow bigger and bigger.
Entering into the new century with red achievements, Meiyan people have no reason not to smile.
It is undeniable that Mei Yan carried out hydropower construction at an almost crazy speed, relying first on passion, second on strength, and third on dreams, which is very logical.If Yang Qinhuan’s 30 years of entrepreneurial journey are the four things that he is most satisfied with, that is, basically solving the problems of schooling, housing, medical care, and pensions for employees’ children, then his dream at the moment is to make Meiyan Group an outstanding "Century-year enterprise" will benefit future generations.
In November 2002, the dam of Dapu Hydropower Station was closed, and the main project jointly constructed by Guangxi Hydropower Engineering Bureau and Guangdong Hydropower Second Bureau was completed in October 2003. In December of the same year, the first generating set produced in Austria was put into installation; in 2004 On May 31st, the first test run of the first unit was successful; in September, the second unit was put into use; in January 2005, the third unit officially generated electricity, and the Dapu Hydropower Station project was completely completed.Since then, the Dapu Hydropower Station, which is controlled by Guangdong Meiyan Group [accounting for 62% of the capital], has a total installed capacity of 90,000 kilowatts and an average annual power generation of 460 million kilowatt-hours.
A hydropower project that has been delayed for ten years can be put into operation in just over two years in the hands of Meiyan people. What kind of speed is this!It is unbelievable that at the beginning of this industry, which was just unloaded and had no stable foothold, Mei Yanren, with their enthusiasm, quickly won the first victory in Liujiang Development.
However, Meiyan people don't feel proud at all, they are very down-to-earth.In my interview, Wu Shaoliang, the deputy general manager of Meiyan Group, specifically mentioned that in the winter of 2002, when the Liujiang River Basin experienced floods, Liuzhou City gave them great help by dispatching elite flood fighting troops to several power stations they built. The construction site assisted in flood fighting, which saved the land and equipment of Meiyan Company from heavy losses.They don't forget to be grateful.
Wu Shaoliang, who lives in Guangzhou but has been stationed in Liuzhou, has personally experienced the whole process of the Dapu Hydropower Station.He said that all the combatants fought against the severe cold and the scorching heat, and completed the excavation of earthwork and concrete pouring of the upstream and downstream of the plant building and the concrete pouring of the plant building as scheduled, completed the second phase closure of the hydropower station as scheduled, and completed the overflow dam opening and control and concrete pouring tasks ahead of schedule, laying a solid foundation for the power generation of the power plant. established a solid foundation.Safe production has created good results with more than zero serious injury accidents.The quality of the project created the first medium-sized hydropower station in Guangxi's hydropower projects without decoration.
Wu Shaoliang also belongs to a low-key Mei Yan people.He was an educated youth, explored for oil in Xinjiang, and later engaged in economic work in the Guangzhou government. According to his own words, he was dragged to Liujiang, Guangxi by Wan Wensheng. Therefore, he quit his government job and devoted himself to hydropower. Development and construction.
It was also in October 2002 that he flew to Liuzhou, where he started another entrepreneurial venture in his life.
Wu Shaoliang naturally knew the general situation of Liujiang Hydropower well. This descendant who grew up in the military compound talked about his job as smoothly as if he was picking something out of his own pocket, and his expressions were concise and in place, and he never praised himself.He is a sheep, kind and considerate. 2009 is the seventh year that Wu Shaoliang has come to Liuzhou. Seeing the operation of the hydropower station he built by himself, he has too many feelings. wish.Therefore, as the chairman of Guangxi Guiliu Hydropower Co., Ltd., the cooperation between him, Yang Qinhuan and Wan Wensheng shows an amazing tacit understanding.
When Wu Shaoliang and I walked out of the underwater engine room and walked up to the broad dam head, I saw that those forests, mountains, and reservoir areas spanned the seasons, measured their birthdays by the seasons, and infused their life energy by the seasons , by the seasons to re-dress them up for a year.The sun was shining brightly, and it was a vast expanse.As we approached the exit of the lake, the rushing water of the river flowed downstream, and the steaming water mist reflected countless rainbows in the air, and also decorated the trees on both banks.And the mountains in the distance seem to ignore the passing of this end.
Water is as strange and fascinating to this world as it is to us. It gives people a different world and brings you another time and life.Now, right in front of my eyes.
Every season is beautiful.The beauty of the four seasons is the beauty of eternity. It will come as scheduled, which is eternity; the seasons come and go again, and this is eternity.
When I left, the surface of the water was sleeping soundly, the splash still splashing, and nothing could disturb a dream of creation.I know that the flow of life is always unimpeded.
Because the heart is big, the stage is also big.
It is also written in the dictionary: wild goose is an excellent air traveler, and its flying speed is very fast.
It itself has a fixed verb, which is not called "walk" or "run", but "fly".
This verb determines the speed of Mei Yan, and later people called this speed "Mei Yan Speed".
November 3, 2005, 3:30 pm.In the conference room of Building 6 of Liuzhou Hotel in Liuzhou, warm applause resounded for a long time: Honghua Hydropower Station passed the water storage acceptance organized by the Pearl River Water Conservancy Committee of the Ministry of Water Resources and the Water Resources Department of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. The stage is transferred to the stage of commissioning and operation.
The Honghua Hydropower Station officially started construction on October 28, 2003. After the careful organization and hard work of the majority of project builders, it has met the conditions for water storage and power generation.In order to put the power station into operation as soon as possible, according to the "Water Conservancy and Hydropower Construction Project Acceptance Regulations", from November 2 to 3, 2005, the Pearl River Water Conservancy Committee of the Ministry of Water Resources, the Development and Reform Commission of Guangxi Autonomous Region, the Water Resources Department, the Environmental Protection Bureau, and relevant departments of Liuzhou City and Liujiang County , Engineering construction, design, supervision, and construction units jointly form a water storage acceptance committee to conduct water storage acceptance for the Honghua Hydropower Station.
In two days, the acceptance committee listened to the detailed reports of the project participating units, inspected the buildings of the power station project, and consulted the relevant materials of the project construction. Finally, after full discussion, they came to an appraisal conclusion: Water requirements, the quality of some completed projects is qualified, the water storage plan and the reservoir operation scheduling plan are basically feasible, and the retaining and drainage structures and control facilities that need to be invested after water storage have been completed. The relocation of resettlers in the dam area and the cleaning of the bottom of the reservoir have basically met the water storage requirements, and it is agreed that the project will store water at the normal water storage level.
当晚20时，已试运转一周的一号机组正式并网发电，开始把源源不断的电力输送到大电网，投入商业运营，为柳州市提供新的强大动力。这个工期比初设提前了整整8个月，广东梅雁企业集团又创造了广西水电开发的“飞速度”！
18亿元。红花水电站是由广东梅雁【企业】集团股份有限公司投资兴建的。这是到目前为止，广东商人在柳州的最大投资项目。
两年零几天，实现这一蓝图不可谓不宏伟，“速度”的意义不可谓不彰显。但这一切，显然还有待梅雁集团的“检验”，缘因梅雁人才是“唱大戏”的头号主角。是啊，就像大雁每次迁徙一样历尽千辛万苦，从不失信。不管在何处繁殖，何处过冬，总是非常准时。梅雁也如此。
毋庸讳言，当“红花”还在图纸上时，梅雁也是心存了太多犹疑的。毕竟在那个时候，这朵红花的蓝图，在现实中由于受构造、岩性控制，地貌分野明显的诸多因素影响，构造溶蚀丘陵谷地和溶岭谷地又分布于水库上游柳城至露塘段。溶蚀堆积孤峰平原和峰林平原分布于柳州市东侧，多有洼地漏斗、溶洞分布。溶蚀侵蚀低山丘陵分布在坝址区及其下游。许多侵蚀堆积河流阶地分布柳江两岸，最多可见五级，那么荒芜着，这样的一个所在，即使有再多的鼓励，再优惠的政策，企业家能动心吗？敢来吗？
面对荒凉的原野，没人能看到它的前景。因此，从上世纪80年代末到了新世纪，终于，在一片观望声中，梅雁集团看到了红花的巨大张力与无限美景，它站出来了，很快又付诸了行动，并最终成了柳江水电第一个“吃螃蟹”的！
这片土地不会忘记，梅雁的高层更不会忘记，他们当时是冒着何等的“压力”甚至是“风险”才吃下这只螃蟹的！可以说，这压力，这风险，与当时自己遇到的资金困境有关。
正当梅雁飞落柳江时，2003年，中国遇到罕见的“非典”时期，全国经济形势遭受打击，国家进行宏观经济调整，整个金融形势处于“银根紧缩”的态势。想通过上市公司来获得资金，国家证监会却不同意，他们不给梅雁配股募集资金，这样一来，使同时上马三个水电站的梅雁集团遭遇了资金的寒流，陷入了困难的局面。
天上不会掉馅饼，资金从何而来？
在这困难的面前，梅雁是进，还是退？
杨钦欢董事长平淡而坚决地回答道：“我没有遇到过任何困难。这个世界上没有困难的事，有的只是自身信心不足。”正是这简短的一句话，杨董事长以他乐观的性格、坚强的毅力感染了所有梅雁人。
他勉励大家说：“反正我们现在走的就是这样的路，这也是我们梅雁集团想走的路，路是人走出来的，机遇是给所有想办法的人准备的。”
梅雁就这样一步一步被推到了“水泊梁山”。于是，他们只有向当地银行贷款，这当然是他们不愿意看到的局面，然而柳州市的银行知道了他们的困境，都纷纷给予大力的支持。
气魄、勇气有时就这样创造财富！于是，他们抢时间，争速度。也因此，梅雁集团在红花水电站的每一步，始终没有离开当地政府和媒体的视线。
从2003年10月28日开工后，柳州市政府就开始每月召开新闻发布会，报道红花水电站工程的进度。柳州人翘首期盼红花开放，梅雁人埋头苦干，工地一片繁忙，轰轰烈烈。工地一天一个样，因为工程进展很快，柳州市政府又决定每周召开一次新闻发布会，捷报传来，柳州市民听到好消息纷纷对梅雁速度表示赞叹。
围堰合龙，是水电建设者的节日，柳州市政府提出要搞庆典，梅雁人婉谢了。
截流成功，是水电建设成功的标志，柳州市政府提出要搞庆祝，梅雁人也谢绝了。
他们不愿把时间花在这些形式上，他们要“只争朝夕”。
战前动员会上，万文胜的话语铿锵：“务必保质保量按期完成，谁耽误工程谁就将成为历史的罪人。”许多人算好的假日一次又一次被放弃。早春时节，春寒料峭，淫雨肆虐，工地一片泥泞，工人们穿着胶靴高一脚低一脚地穿梭在工地上。入夜，工地依旧灯火通明，弧光闪闪。但是，无论是围堰合龙，还是大江截流，那种紧张的场面，那种难以表达的情感，那种战前的兴奋，如果你不亲临现场，你是体会不到的。因为上帝把梅雁集团和红花的命运绑在一起了，一荣俱荣，一损俱损。
2004年10月16日，红花水电站二期截流工程准备开始，往日滔滔的柳江水，此时有点乖顺了。
所有的施工人员、指挥人员各就各位，左岸右岸的种种设备已把石料装好，随时准备飞驰合龙口。此时，站在龙口指挥点的吴少良总指挥一声令下，所有的机械紧踩油门，欢呼声、鞭炮声、马达声，声声吼天，运料车纷纷驶向龙口，一车一车石料溅起漫天水花。这是人与自然的天作之合，这是亘古不变的古河与人的智慧的较量。
人们终于把柳江锁住。
当天下午，截流工程顺利合龙。沧海横流，方显英雄本色。那夜，自然令许多梅雁人欣喜若狂到整夜整夜睡不着觉，他们一定在憧憬，从这大坝，从这红花水电站延伸出去的一片又一片的光明，就像今夜的朗月繁星，始终融合着梅雁人用汗水和智慧聚成的点点光芒。
这光芒更深层、更持久的意义在于，在红花水电站矗立的不仅是梅雁集团的全新形象，更是梅雁集团的全新理念，自此，梅雁集团就像是从普通公路迅猛地驶上了高速公路……
这种速度令前来为二号机组进行调试的哈尔滨电机公司技术人员无不惊叹。一位姓胡的总工程师说，装机23万千瓦的水电站两年就开始发电，三年就竣工，这样的建设速度国内实属罕见。2003年年底，红花水电站催要机组时，他们还不相信，直到他们从东北来到水电站现场后，才知对方所言不虚。
当我来到电站采访时，还看到了一张已经陈旧的工程进度表，它这样记录着：
2003年8月作工程施工准备，9月右岩一期枯水外围堰施工；2003年10月23日，右岸一期8孔闸坝和厂房工程开始施工；2003年12月1日，左岸船闸工程工始施工。2004年4月15日，右岸一期8孔闸坝进行水下验收；同年8月左岸船闸进行金属结构和机电设备安装。2004年10月实现二期截流并开始二期闸坝工程施工；同年11月20日，进行试蓄水。2004年12月1日，船闸正式通航；2005年4月5日，二期10孔闸坝进行水下验收；2005年5月，厂房1号、2号机组具备机电安装条件。2005年10月28日首台机组发电，2006年2月21日第二台机组并网发电。
从来都是机遇与挑战并存。当然这速度不是蛮干，这是建立在科学精神指导下的精心设计、合理布置、科学施工取得的速度。
所谓合理布置，就是库区范围选址合适。移民安置涉及市区、鹿寨县、柳江县和柳城县17个乡镇的49个村庄及4个农场，基本没有人口和房屋的直接淹没。只有在坝址和厂房附近的一个村，大约300人左右需要移民，而且也不用移向远处，只需就地往高处后靠，周围耕地也能够维持移民的生活。
所谓科学施工，即红花水电站泄水闸闸墩在溢流堰顶高程60.0米以上高达34.65米，具备利用滑模施工技术的有利条件，采用传统的人工安装组合钢模板、分层浇筑的施工方法，按每层3米，一个循环5天计算，单个闸墩最少需要60天，施工工期长，且需投入较多的人力和物力。利用滑模施工单个闸墩的施工时间大大缩短，最短时间是12天，最长的是21天，是传统工艺五分之一至三分之一的时间，显然快了许多，为缩短工期争取早日发挥工程效益起了作用。
然而对施工的条件要求比较高，滑模施工是一种连续作业的方法，钢筋安装、砼浇筑必须保证连续不间断，因此梅雁人克服了对混凝土的生产、运输的要求较高的困难，充分做好施工前的准备工作。
对此，万文胜说：“梅雁人要有志气、骨气，必须把保证质量、满足顾客需求当作一项事业来追求，自己要有信心做好自己的事情，我们要做中国的品牌。”
中国之所以每年有那么多的矿难和工程灾难发生，就是因为施工不讲究质量，豆腐渣工程满天飞。当年的葛洲坝电机事故，原因竟然是螺丝钉松动，中国人难道连几个螺丝钉都拧不紧吗？No!拧不紧不是因为没有手劲儿，而是因为缺乏责任心。
质量始于教育，终于教育。
梅雁关于质量的讨论，使每一个参与施工的人真正意识到自己身上的责任。
每个人都会珍爱生命，因为生命只有一次，梅雁要求所有员工都要像珍爱生命一样注重质量。
安全是施工质量、进度的前提，只有在安全的情况下，保证施工质量和进度才是根本。施工安全就像是走钢丝，时刻牵着万文胜和吴少良的神经，保证不发生重大事故，使工程建设顺利进行。
与此同时，为了使水电站能早日发电，尽管资金遇到困难，并不影响梅雁集团加大资金投入。他们对临时工程【船闸围堰】加大了投入，船闸提前通航，解决了通航问题，因此二期截流就有了提前一年的条件，提前一年截流是整个枢纽能提前蓄水发电的基础；同时由于厂房的施工进度比设计进度快。按初设工期安排，厂房混凝土浇筑22个月后才具备机组安装条件，而实际从2004年1月厂房第一仓混凝土到具备第一台机组的安装，仅用了16个月的时间。为此他们决定对厂房的施工设备增加大的投入【原设计两台门机，实际是四台】。
一切为了给柳州市早日提供清洁能源，一切为当地政府提出的“再造一个工业柳州”多作贡献而加速。
isn't it?与红花水电站同时开工建设的投资8个亿人民币的古顶水电站一样实践了这样的“梅雁速度”。这些从电站摘录的原始记载最能令人信服！
2005年8月28日下闸蓄水，#1机组于2006年1月25日正式投产发电，#2机组于5月22日投产发电，#3机组于9月1日投产发电，#4机组于2006年12月21日投产发电。2006年完成上网电量1.4243亿千瓦时；2007年完成上网电量1.8931亿千瓦时；2008年上网电量2.2358亿千瓦时。2009年9月底累计完成上网电量1.6382亿千瓦时。
至此，梅雁集团在柳州市建设的红花、大埔、古顶水电站总装机400兆瓦，电站固定资产已占梅雁集团公司总资产的三分之一以上。这不仅仅是一个数量工程，还必须是一个高效工程、优质工程、绿色工程、文明工程。高效工程是指生产速度快；优质工程是指合格率高；绿色工程是指生产环境和职工保健好；文明工程是指精神和物质双丰收，实现梅雁集团要求的水电开发的一流水平。
这个时候，相信所有的人一定都会承认这样一个事实：现在已经颇成规模、颇具气势的柳江流域三个水电站，正成为柳州经济高速发展的一个“贡献点”，成为一根猎猎生风的“标杆”，那就是由激情和实干塑造起来的最容易感知，也最好触摸的“梅雁速度”。
我曾经想过，我要是一只小鸟，在哪儿筑巢？
喧闹的世界，再也找不到一块清净之地。从远古走来的人们已经失去了青山绿水，在陆地上堆起混凝土的楼房，人口越来越多。我喜静，渴望回归自然，梦想那幽静的树林，明媚的阳光，清新的空气，青青的野草，清澈的河水。河水，必须要有水，因为最早的人都择水而居。有这样的人居地吗？我才乐于筑巢。
在环境越来越受到关注的今天，人们越来越追求人与自然的和谐共存，注重居家生活环境。如果再把生活和人生哲理融合到一起，又会让人明理、晓义、增知、怡情，生活和工作的压力自然就会烟消云散，流水、人家，夕阳西下，万家灯火……人文的积淀成了一种景观、一种资源，人文景观与自然景现的融合必定会使生活环境更加丰富多样，更加绚丽多姿，源远流长。
今天的柳州，这些有了。在那如梦如幻的柳江边中，顺着那些迷幻般的奇光异彩，我又看到了柳宗元。他身着长衫，正步履蹒跚地在那石壁奇峭、江流如龙、盛产奇石、被誉为烟霞洞天的龙壁山下，苦苦地寻觅。揩一揩满头的汗水，他清癯的脸上露出了欣慰的笑容。
公元815年，柳宗元被贬到柳州做刺史。柳宗元是参加朝中的革新派而被贬的。古往今来，真正意义上的革新，是促使社会进步的必须，然而，真正的革新者却几乎都是殉道者！有很多人连命都丢了，柳宗元虽被贬到边远僻壤，但还是做一方之主，应算万幸。虽山水遥迢，心意悲切而怅然，但在政治上失意的文人，到柳州仍然大刀阔斧，兴利除弊，修整州容，发展生产，兴办学校，释放奴婢，挖井取水，深得百姓拥戴。虽然他在柳州执政仅四年，便病故于任上，当地居民却哀悼他，在风景优美的罗池建庙纪念，敬香奉祈。
今天的柳州，于是“山水风光独秀，人文景观称绝”。文化对人类社会的发展有着极其重要的推动作用，任何事物如果没有文化内涵，生命就是短暂的。而柳州市政府和梅雁人携手，恰恰为柳州人淋漓尽致地演绎了“生活在公园里”、“把家放在公园里”的生活品质。因此，人们选择时尚、舒雅的现代生活的柳州，无疑是最佳的选择，选择柳州意味着选择了生活品位。毫无疑问，兴旺之气环绕，红花水电工程就是柳州人盼望数年的心血铸造的精品工程，用一个项目把人脉、水脉、龙脉自然地结合起来，堪称民心工程。
久居柳州的人都知道，柳江洪水警戒线是81米多。也就是说，洪水来时水太深，威胁日常生活；枯水时节水太浅，江中一派瘦水寒山的渗淡景象。而红花水电站建成后，市中心的“水头”则足多了——江面宽了几十米，堤下就是一泓碧流，南岸的“外滩”更惟妙惟肖；北岸的柳荫呈水天一色。从此，龙城成为了国内不多的亲水城市，好一派柳江出平湖的妖娆景色！如今，入夜的江滨公园，清风徐徐，游人如织。两岸的彩灯骤然亮起，白天流一汪清碧的柳江，顷刻成了流光溢彩的天河，绚丽的桥虹，璀璨的楼影，全都交织辉映在明镜似的江水之中，幻化成一个瑰丽无比的梦境。神奇的柳江，在七彩辉映的夜晚，把美丽的柳州城变成了两座，一座在岸上，一座在水中。
我有好几年没有去柳州了。那一天，因公出差，临江而住，打开宾馆的窗户，突然感到柳江两岸变了，简直是“蓄水后的柳江江宽水阔，不是西湖胜似西湖”，漂亮极了！市区柳江河段恰似一个巨大的天然“人工湖泊”，它为人们提供了干净的、无污染的自然水域。一位居民与我谈起蓄水前后的变化，他说，亲水平台前的水深达到了5米多，但对钓鱼影响不大。他经常来钓鱼，其实是钓翁之意不在鱼，而在乎柳江美景。如今柳江水流平缓，碧波荡漾，间有鱼儿在水中时隐时现，不亦快哉。
一位工程师对我说，红花水电站每年发电可替代火电标准煤消耗约32万吨，减少二氧化硫约9500吨，大大降低“酸雨”的侵入，减少大量的废渣废水，净化了柳州空气和水质。由于柳江水位抬高，从市区柳江上游新圩至窑埠，全长约17公里的河段，水体的自净能力已有所增强，柳江岸边的河床淤泥会得到有效冲刷。
我在柳州采访期间，正值CCTV进行西江黄金水道的报道。报道说，柳州港是国家一级口岸，红花水电站的建设改善柳江108公里航道。电站建成后，正常蓄水位为77.5米，大大提高了柳江的通航能力。原来只能通行百吨级船只的柳江，现在千吨级船只可从港澳和广州港直达柳州港，使108公里柳江成为交通便利的“黄金水道”。
如今，红花库区一派碧绿，铺天盖地而来；于碧绿中溅出山歌、鸟语，于是水云动，风色流，一切都鲜活可触。回到下榻的宾馆，想不起船行于何处，船泊于何处，只是一脑子的水光、水影、水气、水声。这就够了。人在俗世红尘，奔波得累了，功利世俗的东西多了，面对这样的山水、这样的农民、这样的歌声、这样的笑声，何尝不神往于这片工地，神往于这种无求无欲本心自我的生活呢？时不时就想能临水而居，屋后几丛翠竹，几棵橘树，春天时屋前屋后都是幽幽淡淡的花香，秋天霜后满树结实饱满的红橘；有一块不大的花园，长些青菜、青椒、茄子之类，兴致来时则撒网捕些小鱼小虾以做下酒小菜。的确，山静似太古，日长如小年，山山水水，生生世世，人若能除却欲海里浮沉的一切，就这样月白风清地生活下去，所需要了解的只是生命回到人的本心去，回归人生的简朴真诚，复归于山边水岸，这是一种多好的“上善若水”的生活啊。
总之，红花水电站是以发电、航运为主，兼顾灌溉、旅游、养殖的综合水利工程，其社会效益和经济效益都不可低估。当然，事物都有两面性，比如，对水生动物的影响，对原有文物的影响等等，孰重孰轻，就留给后人去评判吧。
生于斯、长于斯的龙城人渴望追寻终身可依的精神家园，渴望让柳宗元的遗风万古长存，渴望给丰硕的柳州大地赋予全新的涵义，他们说，怎能仅有雄壮不屈的古风，怎能仅有冒烟的工厂，又怎能没有和谐美好的环境，怎能丢弃现代时尚的追求，怎
