There is a small river called Luojiahe near the town where I live. Its tortuous past experience and unswerving loyalty to the people of Qingtongxia have given me a deeper understanding of the word "water rhyme".
More than 30 years ago, when I was a child, my friends and I went fishing in the relatives' courtyard of the Materials Bureau, which was far away from home. According to my older partner, this small ditch more than one meter wide is called Luojiahe. I am a southern child who grew up on the Jialing River. I have seen the vastness and vastness of the river. Therefore, I can't take a fancy to the river in front of me. 19** After taking part in the work, as a grass-roots tax collector who travels all over the country all the year round to collect scattered taxes, I often ride my bike in Buzhao and Nanzhuang areas of Zhongtan Township, and also often visit Chenyuantan and Shabawan, because it is only a stone's throw away from the Yellow River, so I can stand by and watch the endless rolling water of the Yellow River and express my feelings for the deceased. At that time, when I passed by Luojiahe, I always thought with the frivolous of adults: Alas, people in small places are so ignorant that even a small ravine can be called a river!
However, by chance, my impression of Luo Jiahe has changed substantially.
When I was young, my friend Tucki and I often got together to talk about the ideal of life. You brought a guitar, and he grabbed it and played a lot of love and loneliness. Six strings hung our hopes at that time. After we get married, we go for our own livelihood and spend less time together, but we also have a drink every once in a while, talk about things at work and brag about it, so as to relieve the pressure on work and life. Hey, it's not easy for men nowadays.
One day in July of 20 years, we were together again. Tucki, who is usually calm, spoke a little more this time. He said that the bureau recently put him in charge of the construction of a new unit and invited me to have a look around sometime. I asked if the place was far, and he said it was a few miles from Xiaoba and not far from the Yellow River. I heard about the project of harnessing Luojiahe in newspapers and TV. When I thought that he worked in the Water Affairs Bureau, I had a blind question: Is it in Luojiahe? His eyes lit up: How do you know? I smiled faintly: although I don't work in the city, I didn't take part in voluntary labor of dredging and planting trees, but I am also a citizen of Qingtongxia city, so I should always care about it.
One fine morning, Tucki drove me to his place of work. The car went out of the city to the east, about a few hundred meters away from the entrance of Chenyuantan Expressway. The car turned off the road and drove north, through a dense forest, and finally stopped in a yard with a blue roof and white walls.
There is a row of neat hard-top houses in the north of the yard, and more than two acres of vegetable fields have been reclaimed in the south of the yard. Planting eggplant, pepper, tomato and other seasonal vegetables, interplanting watermelon in the middle of vegetable field. It can be seen that the owner of the yard is a handsome man with a strong pastoral atmosphere.
At this moment, the door of the first room creaked open and a young man in his thirties came out to meet us. Tucki said that this person's name is Xiao Ke, and he is the technical director of Luojiahe Comprehensive Management Project Department.
After greeting, they took me around Luojiahe. They said that Luojiahe was a drainage ditch for farmland irrigation more than 30 years ago. Due to disrepair, garbage blocked the ditch. Every year when the weather is hot, it becomes a breeding ground for mosquitoes and flies, which is synonymous with dirty, chaotic and poor. The villagers living nearby are miserable. Due to years of siltation, the drainage in some ditches of Luojiahe River is not smooth, which leads to the rise of groundwater level in farmland and the deterioration of grain output. Several leaders of the Water Conservancy Bureau have been planning projects for governance, but the funds have never been implemented.
The opportunity has finally come. Tucki and Xiaoke are like two children. After our city established the sustainable development strategy of building an ecological garden city, the municipal party committee and municipal government put the plan of expanding the city eastward to the west bank of the Yellow River on the agenda. The city decided to set up a comprehensive management project office of Luojiahe as soon as possible, led by the Municipal Water Conservancy Bureau. In this way, the plan to thoroughly manage Luojiahe can be implemented.
Concentric from top to bottom, its advantages and disadvantages. So, from 20** to 20**, Qingtongxia City invested more than 50 million yuan successively, and organized all units in the city to dig 25 kilometers of rivers, with 750,000 square meters of earthwork, build 38 buildings with dikes and dig 8 lakes, forming a lake 1 10,000 mu. In addition, 220,000 landscape greening trees, such as spruce, weeping willow, Zhanghe willow, Elaeagnus angustifolia and Amorpha fruticosa, are designed and planted on both sides of Luojiahe River, which are managed by each unit in sections, watered regularly and replanted with dead trees. In this way, through the efforts of all citizens in Qingtongxia city for three years, the drainage problem of 8 1 1,000 mu of cultivated land on both sides of Luojia River has been completely solved, and the river has also been integrated into the city, making this drainage trunk canal a new urban landscape water system integrating flood control and drainage, aquaculture and greening and beautification.
This is how Luo Jiahe came into my field of vision again with deep feelings. Just like the reunion of two old friends after a long separation, just like the love at first sight of a pair of lovers, without any warning in advance, but as natural as a melon.
The ugly duckling became a swan, and the legendary myth became a reality. The Luojia River, shaded by green trees and covered with miserable grass, has a lake in the river and a river in the lake, as if it had become a beautiful scenery embedded between Qingtongxia and Wuzhong overnight. Its gorgeous turn came so quickly that people had to catch a glimpse.
As night falls and the lights are on, if you just drive out of the intersection of Chenyuantan Expressway, there will be a jade belt bridge in front of you, much like the Summer Palace in Beijing. Against the background of street lamps and headlights, the winding bridge in the waves is like a fairyland.
Yes, what you see is the landscape bridge of the first lake on Luojia River at night. Because it is composed of seven bridge opening, everyone affectionately calls it a seven-hole bridge. The location of Qikong Bridge is just in the transition zone between the bustling city and the quiet countryside, and with its rounded curve and exquisite posture, it connects many lakes in Luojiahe Valley, so it has become the landmark building of the east gate of Qingtongxia City. The night carved it into the incarnation of Venus, and the morning carved it into the reflection of a peaceful bird. It is a polite welcome messenger and always welcomes guests from all directions. On sunny days, it is even more natural and graceful, sprinkling a light on you, reflecting the generosity and hospitality of Qingtongxia people; In the drizzle, it is as gentle as a jasper's house and as charming as a girl in a boudoir, which will make you feel infinite love and pity.
After human society has stepped into modern civilization, people have enjoyed many benefits brought by great material richness, rapid development of high technology and information explosion, which are unimaginable to their predecessors. However, with the continuous improvement of urbanization, its negative effects are also highlighted. Because in some ways, this city is noisy and impetuous. It absorbs too many desires, embraces all likes and dislikes, and makes human civilization grow geometrically. At the same time, it makes countless chemical gases fill crowded halls and houses, and also makes originality and willfulness invade the once barren wilderness, destroy the ancient scenery, and even make the former home dirty and disdainful in people's eyes.
Where is the way out?
Therefore, people want to go out of the apartment, out of the community, and look around for their dreams with imaginary pennies.
There is no doubt that the completion of Luojiahe regulation project has realized everyone's dream. Luojiahe River Basin has a water surface of nearly one million square meters, criss-crossing ditches, branches and fish ponds, forming a unique wetland landscape. It is the largest lake in Wuzhong. Its completion has a decisive impact on the water ecology, water environment and regional climate control in Qingtongxia City.
We really should thank the decision makers in Qingtongxia. It is their ambition to serve as an official and benefit one side. It is their scientific and rigorous pioneering work that keeps pace with the times, which has realized the dreams and pursuits of city people and the self-salvation of mankind. Li Bai and the till, holding up my cup, I asked Mingyue, the ancients, just wanted personal happiness and satisfaction. But the decision makers, builders and citizens of our city are all for the benefit of the people and future generations. They used sincerity, sincerity, hard work and hard work to invite water-the gentlest, most persistent, most generous and selfless messenger in the world to make up for our own mistakes.
When you come to the beautiful Luojiahe, you should stretch out your arms to embrace it; You have to open your ears to listen; You should climb on the grass and smell the flowers; You should look up at the sky, white clouds stretch their lazy bodies; You should pick the most beautiful flowers in the water in the singing of all kinds of birds; You should open your heart, let the moisture brush your face and nourish your anxious body and mind; You can also go boating on the lake, fishing by the pond alone, picking green in spring, fishing in summer, watching reeds in autumn, stepping on snow in winter, and all kinds of pleasant entertainment activities are all based on interest.
Qingtongxia, my hometown, is even more lovely in the water rhyme because of the wonderful scenery of Luojia River.
