Poetry of Hongqi Canal

In the summer of 1959, the sun was like fire

The heat waves in the air were layer after layer

Countless cracks opened in the ground

All the rivers and lakes in Linzhou County have dried up

What should I do?

County Magistrate Yang yelled: Folks, follow me!

At the foot of the towering Taihang Mountains, from this day on

The real-life version of the Foolish Old Man who moved the mountains began

The Communist Party members took the lead, serving the people wholeheartedly, and working tirelessly

Under the towering Taihang Mountains, the smoke is filled

If there is no reference material, just explore by yourself

If there is no machinery, just use the hammer and iron drill

Weiwei At the foot of the Taihang Mountains, I still remember the eighty migrant workers who forged 30,000 pieces of stone despite their cracked wounds in the ice and snow.

I still remember the hundreds of Linzhou men who jumped Entering the cold river

Arm to arm, shoulder to shoulder

Behind them, a seventy-meter-long river dam was built

Red flag Beside the canal, the dome is made of felt, and wild grass is used as cotton

How many lives have slept for this purpose

Taihang Mountain has lived up to people's expectations

The desert has finally become fertile farmland and clear water Lingering in Lin County

The spirit of Hongqi Canal is passed on to everyone

The children of the Party will take root in Sanmen Nuclear Power Plant in the 21st century

We inherit the spirit of our ancestors, Move forward bravely

The high-pitched hymn rings for the party today

For the nuclear power industry, we are willing to shed our youth and sweat
