In the third year of the drought, water conservancy engineer Lu Chenchuan became the most disliked second son of the Lu family. His father and brother waited for him to die so that he could remarry his wife Su He in exchange for food.
The first thing he did when he woke up was to separate the family: he didn't want the good land and his ancestral home, but only the saline wasteland and a dry well that had not produced water for ten years. The whole village was waiting to see them come back and kneel down to beg for water, but Lu Chenchuan found the underground river from the wet marks on the well wall and the soil layer.
Give the first bowl of water to my wife, and from the second bowl onwards, if she wants to drink water, she will give her a shovel of soil in exchange. From a well to a hundred-mile-long canal, from three acres of wasteland to the world's granary, he wants people on this land to no longer have to kneel down to beg for water.
