Chapter 84 Saibei to Jiangnan

People's yearning for a beautiful, rich and colorful life has existed since ancient times.In the vast land of China, due to the relationship between climate, water and soil, the life of the people in the south of the Yangtze River is much better than that in the north and south of the Yangtze River.Therefore, our literati and bachelors in the past dynasties have always been obsessed with Jiangnan and reluctant to part with it.Just look at how many little words they have written that are "recalling Jiangnan" and "looking at Jiangnan"?How rich and colorful is the life in the south of the Yangtze River in their poems? "Wu Erjing in the dragon's head, bamboo shoots and swings and girls together", "holding wine on the curved bank, hanging willows and horses", "opening the curtain to send wine, hanging lights by the water", these pleasures are all related to "green as green". The most lovely and pitiful spring water in the south of the Yangtze River, "blue" and "bluer than the sky". "Everyone says that Jiangnan is good, and tourists only agree with Jiangnan's elders." Therefore, their works are full of disgust for the cold and yellow Saibei with no water or little water, like "the decayed grass is full of smoke, and the crows send the sun away." , wind and sand swirling in the plains" This kind of desolate and desolate description is really too numerous to mention.The higher the art they describe, the more their readers will regard Saibei as a daunting way.Before leaving the customs, my heart is already full of grievances and self-pity emotions of "the horse queen is peach blossoms and the horse is snow before snow"!As for the unfamiliar names of "Hohhot" and "Urumqi", they are even out of the reach of birds. Except for exiled prisoners and guarding soldiers, few people voluntarily go there.

I think our ancient literati longed for Jiangnan. On the one hand, most of them were accustomed to living a life of getting something for nothing and living on parasites. In this era, people never dreamed that human beings could transform nature. Only modern people who have mastered the universal truth of Marxism-Leninism, have the ideal of building a socialist society, and firmly believe in their own strength and potential can unite. , with one's own mind and hands, turn the deserted Saibei into the bright Jiangnan in one fell swoop! When I first arrived at the construction site of the Ming Tombs Reservoir, it was still barren and barren.After the flood was blocked by the reservoir, when I went again, there was already a "green as blue" and "big as blue as the sky" lake in front of the dam, which set off the surrounding mountains very green and bright, with the flavor of Hangzhou West Lake. .I went to Miyun Reservoir for the first time after the flood was stopped. It is really distant mountains with green waves and vast expanses of green waves, which is comparable to the Taihu Lake in my memory.This spring, I also went to the construction site of the Sanmenxia Reservoir, which is an even greater project!I can already imagine that after the Sanmenxia Reservoir stops the flood, it will flow down the river from Xi'an to Luoyang. When it comes to large reservoirs and more than 4 million small and medium reservoirs and channels, I don't know what language and words to use to express my gratitude and joy.

Under the leadership of our great party, 600 million people are galloping across our 9.6 million square kilometers of land, giving full play to their subjective and active water control power, and waiting until the lofty ideals of South-to-North Water Diversion and desertification are realized one by one. In the future, there will be green mountains, no clear water, and people all over the country will live a beautiful, rich, and colorful life. Saibei and Jiangnan will always be names in history just like our ancients! Spike Xiaozha". )
