　　 I made a small decision during the Spring Festival. I went to see the Red Flag Canal, which I always wanted to go to, and finally realized my wish for more than 50 years. Yes, this wish can be traced back to the early 1970s, when a documentary film named "The Red Flag Canal" was released, which was very exciting. The theme song of the film, "Change Your Clothes by Calling Mountains and Rivers", can still be hummed up to now. The lyrics of the song, "Cut Taihang Mountain, Zhang River comes through the mountain, and the people of Lin County are so ambitious that they are determined to rearrange the rivers and mountains", left a deep impression on me. Later, in the media such as film and television, newspapers and magazines, we also saw relevant reports from time to time, and the Red Flag Canal spirit was widely promoted. I watched the TV series "Red Flag Canal" two years ago, and I wanted to see it on the spot.

　　 The expressway during the long holiday was free of charge, and there was no traffic jam, so we arrived in Linzhou smoothly. After getting off the expressway, a striking slogan with yellow characters on a red background came into sight - "The spirit of the Red Flag Canal is the precious spiritual wealth of our party". After a short drive along the Xingyang National Highway, you will reach the Red Flag Canal Scenic Area through an aqueduct. It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived. There were still many tourists visiting. The parking lot was almost full. Most of the license plates were "four provinces of mountains and rivers".

　　 The area of the scenic spot is not large, and the walking tour is just right. The footpath is built along the water. It's hard to feel that it was once a place with extreme water shortage. There are sculptures on the roadside with the theme of water control. The white red letter monument in the middle is particularly tall and eye-catching - "The Red Flag Canal is a monument". Moving on, we came to the "diversion gate", the core project of the Red Flag Canal. From here, the main canal of the Red Flag Canal was divided into three. The water from the Zhuozhang River for more than 50 years continuously flowed to the hinterland of Linzhou through three main canals, irrigating 540000 mu of fertile land.

　　 Another landmark building in the scenic spot is the Memorial Hall of the Red Flag Canal, which occupies a large area. The museum displays the history of the construction of the Red Flag Canal through various forms such as objects, sculptures, models, images, etc., vividly restoring the hard years of extremely difficult life and scarce supplies in the 1960s. The people of Lin County rely on the most humble equipment, The earth shaking project was completed by manpower. What a spirit, wisdom and power!

　　 After visiting the scenic spot, I couldn't bear to leave in a hurry, so I decided to stay at the Red Flag Canal Hotel for one night. The hotel backs on the Taihang Mountain, or built on the Taihang Mountain. It takes a long walk from registration to check-in. Fortunately, the content of the corridor exhibition is rich. In addition to the "Red Flag Canal Spirit" and the "Taihang Spirit", we also learned the "Shoulder Pole Spirit" and the "Gu Wenchang Spirit". These positive energies make my people born in the 1950s feel excited. Looking from the hotel window, you can overlook the urban area of Linzhou from afar and feel the terrain drop. The No. 1 trunk canal of the Red Flag Canal flows through the Taihang mountainside, as if hanging above the hotel, and you can really feel the spectacular "artificial Tianhe". There is a winding path along the No. 1 trunk canal. Only one car can pass through the narrow place. By passing Heilong Temple, Qingquan Temple, and Canglong Temple, you can feel the local people's extreme desire for water. Finally, under the strong leadership and strong organization of the Party, the people of Linxian County, relying on collective strength, with one hammer, one chisel and one hand, fought hard for 10 years, engraved the 1500 km long "artificial Tianhe" on the Taihang Mountain, and forged this "eighth wonder of the world" with blood and life.

　　 There are two deepest feelings of this field trip: first, "dare to call the sun and the moon for a new sky for the sake of sacrifice". During the construction of the Red Flag Canal, 81 builders gave their precious lives, including experts, cadres, and the masses. The youngest was less than 18 years old. Even after their father died, their mother encouraged their son to continue to participate in the construction. Man can conquer nature. What kind of rivers and mountains cannot be rearranged with the spirit of people in Lin County who go forward and dare to sacrifice! They are remembered by history and forever engraved on the monument.

　　 2、 To some extent, the significance of the Red Flag Canal has exceeded the value of a water conservancy project itself. It is a historical monument, forever engraved on the Taihang Mountains. The General Mobilization Order of the Project of Introducing Zhang into Forest in the memorial hall is still inspiring and inspiring. It was recorded in the Mobilization Order that "the project of introducing Zhangzhou into forestry was scheduled to start on February 11 and be completed before May 1", that is, in the most difficult year of 1960 in China at that time, it took less than March to complete the project (but the fact was that after the commencement, it was found that there were problems in natural conditions, technical conditions, budgetary conditions and other aspects that were difficult to solve. Will it become a uncompleted project due to wrong decision? Is it necessary to stop loss decisively? Will you work hard to the end without success? Do you need to change your perception? Under pressure, Secretary Yang Gui, as the commander in chief, redeployed again and again in various distressed situations and solved specific problems one by one. It was not officially completed until July 1969, nine years later. Although it is slow, it always moves forward, and the process is hard and tangled. This process has also proved that as long as the direction is correct and the mountains are firmly set, we can finally work together to complete the seemingly impossible task. Decision criteria and sacrifice are also valuable. If the direction is wrong, it can only be laborious, and even the harder you work, the more unfortunate you will be. The greatness of the Red Flag Canal is also being condensed in it. It is known as the "Great Wall on Water in China" and "the largest artificial canal". 　　

　　 Some things may be particularly shocking when you are young, but as time goes on, experience increases, and vision broadens, things that were worth shocking at the beginning may gradually fade away. The profound significance, outstanding achievements and spiritual values of the Red Flag Canal transcend time and space. No matter how long it has been baptized, the Red Flag Canal can still touch our hearts, and is always worth shaking!
