Go to dajiangbei

Going to the north of the Yangtze River presents the 50-year project of the Middle Route of South-to-North Water Transfer Project, 700,000 immigrants, one million mu of fertile land, three ancient cities and thousands of villages and towns, which are of epic significance to Shiyan and the Middle Route of South-to-North Water Transfer Project.

The life of the character

A river and a woman

Shiyan nationality, women, writers and Hanshui complex are the status symbols of Mei Jie. In fact, according to the age when she left her hometown and the length of time she left, she really should be a stranger, but this stranger spent his whole life following his hometown.

Mei Jie is a woman, an affectionate woman. Love is strong, love is hot, and how crazy she is when she is involved. From her personal love experience to her lifelong follow-up with Hanshui, she has no regrets.

Mei Jie was only 15 years old when he left his hometown of Shiyan (then called Yunyang). In the following decades, from the south to the north, from the capital to the desert, from a young girl to a good wife and mother, from a right-wing child with a poor family to a famous writer, her life was polished more and more like pebbles on the beach of the Han River, so smooth and tenacious. No matter where she goes, no matter what status she is, this affectionate woman always has something in her heart, such as nostalgia for the Han River and homesickness.

Deep-rooted childhood memories

Mei Jie was born and raised on the Han River. In her deep-rooted childhood memory, the Hanjiang River carries a distant mystery and flows to Yunyang, the small town where she was born. It surrounds the town and snuggles in its arms, showing a peninsula shape. The trackers crawled along the river beach, curled up in the sun, with bulging backs, and she was the curious little girl, always stepping her little feet into the deep big feet of the trackers, and the sand shone on her little toes, and she kept walking along the river. At that time, in the fifth month of the lunar calendar, there was always a grand festival by the Han River. Mei Jie and her friends hung silk sachets sewn by their mother on their chests. The sachet contains fragrant mugwort, and the ears are coated with wine mixed with realgar. They took their mother's skirt and went to the river to attend Qu Yuan's festival. They are crowded with their mothers in the crowd, and their eyes are always trying to find their fathers on the crowded Millennium river-those vigorous swimmers who break the waves in the Han River hundreds of meters wide.

Describe the spiritual world after leaving home with literature

After leaving home, Mei Jie studied abroad and ran around, and then wrote this feeling in her unique way: trying to talk to her horse world in a righteous way. When she brought her grief, sadness, loneliness and yearning, confused and uneasy heart, long-standing desire and dream, embarrassing experience and embarrassment of life, piety and worship of life and beauty to this world in the way of literature, she found that there is always a charming, maternal, quiet and beautiful river of hometown in her spiritual home.

In the ancient town outside the Great Wall, I told the memory of my hometown.

1980, Mei Jie began to write down his initial gratitude to the world in the old town outside the Great Wall. She often tells her memories of her hometown with tears in her eyes, day after day, and then enters the artistic conception of life that she keeps losing and gaining: "I feel a kind of sadness and pain close to me." My hometown is so far away, but it used to float, "Mei Jie wrote. Outside the Great Wall, the cold winter wind roared and slapped her window sill covered with white linen paper. The fire in the stove went out and her son fell asleep and grew up. She wrote this. In her decades of writing, she saw the hometown of the south, the work, patience and persistence of life, and saw that she and her relatives had been holding hands, crossing all the time and space, and finally walked back to her home.

Entanglement is so deep, acacia is so long, and all entanglements and acacia are so eternal. My hometown to Mei Jie is first a place name that can't be found on the map, then a shallow feeling after years of separation, and finally an eternal memory because of the overall water burial of Yunyang City.

Entanglement-Hometown Complex of Life and Death

199 1 in June, Mei Jie returned to his hometown after leaving for 3 1 year. At this time, Yunyang, the ancient city where she was born, has sunk due to the construction of Danjiangkou hydropower project. Mei Jie learned that thousands of immigrants have spent decades of slash-and-burn life in barren mountainous areas, with almost no subsidies. The unimaginable reality gave her a thorough understanding and conscious examination of the sacrifice and dedication of her hometown people in this land. After several months' visit, 1992, Mei Jie completed the 80,000-word documentary literature "Mountains are grey and waters are boundless —— On Northwest Hubei". The work was published in the headline of the second issue of 1993 October magazine, which reflected the great sacrifice and dedication made by the people in northwest Hubei for the construction of the third line in a panoramic way.

"Yes, what happened by the river, and what will leave me forever in the future, have become a complex that will haunt me all my life. It was a big river that God gave me and left me in the distance. " When Mei Jie said these words, she looked like a woman in love, gentle and sweet, and some feelings went deep with different arms.

One side water and soil one side project

This is China's century-old dream about water.

The South-to-North Water Diversion Project started at the beginning of 2 1 century and will be completed in 2050, and the planning and implementation will last for 50 years. From the early 1950s to the end of the 20th century, the project experienced 50 years of exploration, demonstration and planning.

In the planned 50 years, the static total investment of the project is as high as 500 billion yuan. Three South-to-North Water Diversion Projects in China crisscross the east-west Yangtze River, Huaihe River, Yellow River and Haihe River, and will eventually form a rare "China network" of water resources in the world. This is the most magnificent inter-basin water transfer project in the world today. This is an unprecedented project in the history of water conservancy in China and even in the world. It is also the most urgent project for a country with the largest population and per capita water resources less than the world average of 1/4 to maintain good survival and sustainable development.

Countless hard-won lives and accumulated emotions sank to the bottom of the river. On September 26th, 2005, Danjiangkou Dam in the middle line was raised to176.6m.. The Hanjiang River can directly connect the Central Plains, North China, Beijing and Tianjin. After the completion of the first phase of the 20 10 project, it will provide 9.5 billion tons of domestic and industrial water for 44 cities along the line, including Henan, Hebei, Beijing and Tianjin. After the completion of the second phase project in 2030, the annual water supply in the above areas will be 654.38+0.2 billion tons to 654.38+0.3 billion tons.

According to the South-to-North Water Diversion Plan, the water level of Danjiangkou Reservoir is raised to170m, and the storage capacity is increased to more than 29 billion cubic meters. After heightening the dam, more than 300 square kilometers of land in Yunxian, Danjiangkou, Yunxi, zhang wan and Xichuan will sink to the bottom of the river again.

Danjiangkou Reservoir Area of the Middle Route of South-to-North Water Transfer Project is once again facing the subsidence of land and homes. From 1958 to 1967, 382,000 people left their homes on this land. With the start of the South-to-North Water Transfer Project, 270,000 people will once again embark on the road of migration, and 270,000 mu of land will sink into the river bottom again, followed by 16 market towns, 160 enterprises, 1.200 km of roads, 1.800 km of communication lines and broadcasting lines.

A clear river sends water to the north.

Hanjiang River, a long and clear river, will become a vital well in the north of China, and "ensuring the clear water from one river to the north" has become a top priority for the people in the reservoir area. For this well; The people in the reservoir area have experienced 50 years of hardships; For this well, they are making new contributions and sacrifices and facing new challenges and opportunities.

Mayor Chen Tianhui once said that 3.4 million Shiyan people are the collective watchmen of this well. All hardships include a big river, the fate of soil and water on one side, and the fate of the people. All opportunities and creations have a metaphor for the future.

A book and a destiny

1993, Mei Jie's On Northwest Hubei was published in the headline of October magazine, which immediately aroused great repercussions in the whole country and won the Fifth October Literature Award, the China Reportage Literature Award and the highest literature award in Hebei Province. The folks in Mei Jie also rushed to tell each other about this article. Mei Jie was greatly encouraged. At the same time, her memory of the Han River and her hometown has become more and more profound.

With the writing skills of "Mountains are grey and waters are boundless-on Northwest Hubei", Mei Jie knows that behind those boring figures are people with flesh and blood, bearing too many stories of sacrifice and dedication, which is a symbol of their indomitable destiny. Mei Jie felt that there should be something to witness and commemorate all this in a more appropriate way. This person is indispensable, and he must have three elements: love, understanding and description ability for this big river and its people. In this sense, this person must belong to Mei Jie. "In fact, it's hard to say whether Hanshui and my hometown chose me or I chose Hanshui and my hometown. For me, for this big river, for my hometown elders, we are more like each other's fate. " Mei Jie said.

In June, 2004, the Chinese Writers Association launched the key works support project, and Mei Jie declared the writing plan of the main project of the South-to-North Water Transfer Project "Going North to the Yangtze River". The Chinese Writers Association quickly approved the plan.

Asking about the future of the holy river

In the spring of 2005, Mei Jie, who experienced bereavement, once again set foot on the land of his hometown and once again came to the eternal Hanjiang River in his destiny. After that, she walked along the Han River and Danjiang River for a whole hundred days. Losing her lover, she will go downstream and inquire about the future of the holy river.

Leaders, relatives and friends in my hometown comforted Mei Jie's sadness and hidden pain. 100, I traveled to dozens of villages and towns in the reservoir area, working for more than ten hours every day, interviewing during the day, reading materials and sorting out notes at night. Her interview materials were packed in seven large cartons, weighing 100 kilograms.

Subsequently, Mei Jie went to Xichuan, Wuhan, Zhongxiang, Xiangfan, Hebei, Tianjin, Beijing and other places for interviews. Every time she goes to interview, she will put the collected documents, historical materials, interview notes, CDs, recordings, etc. into cartons from the local post office and send them back to the Hebei Writers Association by parcel.

In September, 2005, Mei Jie returned to Shijiazhuang, and a 1 1 cardboard box filled with interview materials followed. She began to read and sort out the ocean of materials and draw up a writing outline. At that time, she felt the surging Han River flowing in her heart.

Sacred redemption after illness

In the Spring Festival of 2006, just as she was preparing to concentrate on writing, a severe headache caught her off guard and she had to be admitted to the hospital. During her illness, she missed her dead husband more and more, and her unprecedented fragility and helplessness even made her give up writing "Going to Jiangbei". In desperation, with guilt and sadness, Chen Fa, vice chairman and secretary of the Secretariat of the Chinese Writers Association, who is responsible for supporting key works, sent an email. Two days later, Chen wrote back, reassuring her to recuperate and encouraging her to write with peace of mind after recovery. Chen's reply gave great confidence and warmth, and she was determined to recover soon and start writing.

March 2006 18, persistent headache, no cure. After the great surprise, Mei Jie felt a sacred redemption. From then on, Mei Jie lit a wick every day and began to write hard in a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

In 8 months 10 day, Mei Jie miraculously completed the manuscript of 4 10000 words, and the voluminous words flowed northward like the mighty Han River. The long reportage "Going to Jiangbei" is divided into five volumes: Can the tears of repentance flow into a river? Looking back at the years like a song, looking up at the riverbank like a monument, Hanshui will complete a capital man and be a well of the north.

Mei Jie immediately sent the good news and the preface and postscript of the manuscript to the bimonthly Wudang Literature (No.6, 2006) of Shiyan Federation of Literary and Art Circles, so that the people in her hometown could share her joy. At the same time, the biweekly People's Daily Dida also preempted the publication of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project: The Well for North China in 2007 1. In October 2007, the fourth issue of the magazine published a 60,000-word "Well for North China". The book has been published by Beijing October Literature and Art Publishing House, which has aroused great repercussions throughout the country.

postscript

Going to Jiangbei tries to show the great wisdom, courage, pain and righteousness of the people at the source of water diversion, as well as the great nirvana and another eternity of the Hanshui River that has flowed for hundreds of millions of years. Mei Jie said that it is her destiny to write "Going to Jiangbei", which also implies an extremely humble wish: I hope that in 20 10, when the clear water of the Han River will bring a piece of moisture to the thirsty Central Plains, North China, Beijing and Tianjin, and when people happily carry a cup of blue flowing from the far northwest of Hubei, don't forget the people in the reservoir area who have dedicated their homes and land twice for this purpose, and don't forget their generations.
