The Three Gorges Dam was successfully built 11 years ago. It cost 200 billion yuan in investment. How much money do you earn now?

As we all know, the Three Gorges Project was not proposed just now. In 1919, Mr. Sun Yat-sen proposed the idea of ??building the Three Gorges Project. Since then, for decades, this plan has not been abandoned and has been conceived and developed. It was not until 1983 that the Ministry of Water Resources submitted a project feasibility report. However, this was a large project, with fierce arguments between supporters and opponents. It was related to the national economy and people's livelihood and was no joke. From 1986 to 1988, under the argumentation and research of 412 professionals , it is better to build a dam than not to build it, and it is better to build it early than to build it late. This project was finally decided. The Three Gorges Project is a "millennium plan and the destiny of the country". Once you make up your mind, you cannot waver. Construction was approved in 1992, construction started in 1994, water storage began in 2003, and finally completed in 2009. The Three Gorges Project lasted 17 years. Becoming the world's largest hydroelectric power station is a feat for China.

For this project, millions of people immigrated successively. These millions of people left their hometowns, took all their belongings with them, and immigrated to other provinces and cities in China. They had to face For a new life, you may need to learn new life skills and accept different living customs, which is a huge challenge for the immigrants. In addition, a large amount of land, including cultivated land, will be submerged after immigration. Restoring the ecological environment is a difficult problem. China's cultivated land has also decreased, and food security must also be considered. Although dam construction is a regional matter, it affects the lives of people across the country. During the construction, the migrant workers who participate in the construction every year cannot celebrate the New Year. Even on New Year's Eve, they are still busy on the construction site and keep up with the progress. We want to thank them for their efforts.

Since the dam was built, problems have been discovered and managed while developing. Now the Three Gorges has been in normal operation for 11 years, and all difficulties have been overcome. We have overcome it. Since 2016, the annual power generation has reached 80 billion kilowatt-hours, with a net profit of more than 40 billion. The original cost of 200 billion invested has long been recovered, and the millennium plan has begun to benefit the people. Moreover, the Three Gorges is a hydropower station, with green energy and no pollution, and it is a major project for sustainable development. And now the dam has become a tourism classic. You can buy tickets to see the scenery, and there are also sightseeing buses to visit the top of the dam, where you can see the magnificence of the Three Gorges Project and the powerful power of nature.

The Three Gorges is the main power supply in the eastern region and is a major project that benefits the country and the people. In the past few decades of rapid development, we have implemented many great projects, such as South-to-North Water Diversion, West-to-East Gas Transmission, and West-to-East Electricity Transmission. Many incredible projects have been realized in China. The highways are getting smoother and smoother, and the high-speed rails are becoming more and more convenient, benefiting more and more areas. Even those who are afraid of heights can get away with it. Although we sometimes feel that life is tiring, if we can overlook the motherland from the air, we can definitely see that China is flying. Even if we are walking on the land of soaring, the motherland is leading us to soar through the clouds and keep moving forward.
