Flying over the Cihuai New River

The Cihuai New River is the largest artificial river dug to regulate the Huaihe River after the founding of the People's Republic of China. It is more than 100 kilometers long, took 14 years, and used more than 2 million artificial rivers. After the opening of the Cihuaixin River to navigation in 1985, the situation of light rains and heavy rains in the Huaibei Plain was resolved. But this man-made river, which has made great contributions to both sides of the Huaihe River, is not well known. The youngest of the migrant workers who dug the river with a spade was seventy-one years old, and very few are still alive. The author wants to use this novel to commemorate the migrant workers who have contributed to the governance of Huaihe River, and to use this story to praise the Cihuai people who have been working hard to revitalize their hometown.
