I am a second grade primary school student in sixth grade. There is a cheerful, clear river in front of my classroom called Lishui River. After class, students can see her standing on the walkway. She is so broad, so beautiful, so refreshing. The river is crystal clear, rolling and surging. I see her every day and I feel so kind, as if I see my mother every day when I go home from school. Therefore, I call her mother river.
This river is more than 400 meters wide. It originates from the world-famous mountain Zhangjiajie. It passes through Cili and enters Shimen. It joins the Jishui River at the mouth of Sanjiang River, forming one of the four major water systems in Hunan. In terms of length, she is the youngest. But it has nurtured three townships and one city with the largest population, the most fertile land, the most abundant products, and the most prosperous economy. Jiashan on the south side of Henan is the home of Li Zicheng, the leader of the peasant uprising. It stayed with him for the rest of his life and hid his loyal bones. The majestic green mountain has nineteen peaks. The peaks are undulating, like a giant python, meandering forward, singing joyfully all the way, accompanying the mother river to leap into Dongting Lake.
Lishui River, the mother river of Shimen people. She has blessed Shimen people for thousands of years, created millions of acres of fertile soil, and irrigated millions of acres of good farmland. Our ancestors thrived on this fertile land, and we, the Shimen people, are what we are today. She usually has a docile temper, but sometimes she loses her temper. Once she gets angry, she can turn the tide and cause huge disasters to people. It is said that in the year Yihai, she lost her temper, and the water overflowed both sides of the river bank, surging and sweeping the towns, trees and crops on both sides; hundreds of people were drowned and tens of thousands were left homeless. It was the biggest prank in her history. . I heard that there once was a large camphor tree in Erduping across the river that only three or four people could hold hands to surround. It was not washed down by the water. It saved the lives of hundreds of people. People regard it as a sacred tree, and people often burn incense for it to worship. , and its bark is used as medicine to treat diseases. It is a tree that bears witness to history. Unfortunately, it died twenty years ago.
Now, Mother River is bigger and more beautiful! She is generous, loving, beautiful and serves the people wholeheartedly. There are dozens of miles of flood control levees on both sides of the bank. The river cannot be washed away or overflowed, and no matter how severe the flood is, it cannot damage it. Grandpa said that the floods in 1998 were blocked by flood control levees. The majestic Lishui Bridge spans the north and south banks of the river, and there is a lot of traffic on the bridge. There are also dozens of large and small dams and hydropower stations, which control floods, generate electricity, and irrigate, and have brought countless huge benefits to people. Nowadays, in Daping on both sides of the river, high-rise buildings tower into the sky, and urban gardens are dotted; in shopping malls, there are a dazzling array of products; people can be seen active everywhere, and the rapid progress of Shimen can be seen everywhere; along both sides of the river, there are green trees and red flowers everywhere, like immortals on earth. scene. People here live and work in peace and contentment, the scenery is breathtaking, and it has the atmosphere of a thriving modern city.
O Lishui River, I want to sing loudly and praise you to my heart's content. Beautiful, my mother river - Lishui. Because you are true, kind, and beautiful! It is you who selflessly nurture the people of your hometown with your sweet milk, and it is you who moisturizes all things with your crystal nectar, which makes Shimen have outstanding people and rich products.
I love you, Lishui River—my mother river!
