Why did Sanmenxia immigrants choose Gansu?

In order to reclaim wasteland in Gansu.

According to Song Xin's survey. Com, 1955 12 15, and the Henan Provincial People's Committee 13 passed a resolution to resettle in Gansu, Qinghai and Longjiang provinces before 1956 spring ploughing. On June1956 65438+1October1day, 7,000 cotton farmers were moved to Dunhuang County, Zhangye District, Gansu Province. Therefore, Gansu was chosen mainly to reclaim wasteland.

There are basically three kinds of resettlement in Sanmenxia of the Yellow River: one is to move to Dunhuang in Gansu and Yinchuan in Ningxia, mainly to collectively reclaim large areas of wasteland. The second is to move closer, that is, to settle in the county or neighboring counties as far as possible after being dispersed along the immigration altitude line. The third is to vote for relatives and rely on friends, that is, residents in the reservoir area rely on non-immigrant relatives and friends.
