Many years ago, our country planned to establish a Three Gorges Province, but it was not implemented in the end. Why?

The Three Gorges is seven hundred miles long, but the Wu Gorge is said to be longer. Apes roar in the mountain sky at night, and the guests' clothes are stained with tears. When it comes to the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, the first thing we may think of is the water conservancy project of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. The scale of the Three Gorges water conservancy project is unprecedented, and the scale of the overseas Chinese is also unprecedentedly complex. When it comes to the overseas Chinese of the Three Gorges Project, our country planned to establish a Three Gorges Province many years ago. , but finally gave up the idea. Why? The water conservancy project of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River The Three Gorges of the Yangtze River consists of three canyons: Qutang Gorge, Wu Gorge and Xiling Gorge. As we all know, "A thousand miles of rivers and mausoleums can be returned in a day". This shows that the water in the Three Gorges flows very fast, and the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River The water volume is also very large, so many people have proposed to develop the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. In 1918, Teacher Sun proposed the concept of the Three Gorges Water Conservancy Project in the Yangtze River. However, due to various reasons during the Republic of China, Teacher Sun's idea was not implemented during the Republic of China. After the founding of New China, China entered a state of stable development and social tranquility. National leaders also focused on development, transportation and people's lives. The Three Gorges of the Yangtze River is regarded as our country's natural resource. There are What’s the point of not using it?

After our country’s leaders decided on the development of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, they began to survey the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. After spending two years, the survey was finally completed, and our country also made a development plan for the Three Gorges Project. The development of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River is a major project, after the development plan is determined. A big problem to be faced at the beginning is the issue of residents and expatriates around the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, because if the water conservancy project starts, the water level of the Three Gorges will rise, and the villages and towns around the Three Gorges are likely to be swallowed up, so if you want to start the Three Gorges development project , people in these surrounding places must be moved away from this place. The Three Gorges of the Yangtze River is a place with beautiful scenery, with morning clouds and dusk rain. Living here is surrounded by mountains and rivers. Therefore, there are many residents around the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, and the overseas Chinese have become a big project.

After several discussions and three name changes, it was concluded that there are many residents around the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River in Three Gorges Province. The expatriate population is nearly 1.3 million, which is a large population base. The issue of expatriates in large-scale water conservancy projects can be solved without paying compensation. Yes, because there are so many expatriates, we must find ways to find places for these expatriates to settle down. In order to quickly solve the problem of overseas Chinese and start the development of the Three Gorges Water Conservancy Project in the Yangtze River, our country's leaders decided to establish a Three Gorges Special Economic Zone. The special zone will be directly under the jurisdiction of the State Council of my country. All areas with overseas Chinese in Sichuan and Hubei provinces will belong to the Three Gorges Special Economic Zone. However, the name of the Three Gorges Special Zone has been opposed by many people. Because after my country's reform and opening up, it established some special zones such as Shenzhen Special Zone and Guangdong Zhuhai Special Zone. However, these special zones have something in common, that is, they are all special economic zones. They all vigorously develop the economy. If the Three Gorges Special Zone is established, It would be confused with the Special Economic Zone. In order not to confuse the two special zones, a name change was proposed at the meeting.

Some people suggested that the Three Gorges Special Economic Zone could be changed to the Three Gorges Administrative Region. However, our country does not have the organizational system of administrative regions, which is inconsistent with our country’s constitution. Therefore, the name of the Three Gorges Administrative Region was also denied. Finally, after discussion, our country It was decided to create Three Gorges Province to settle these expats. Three Gorges Province: "Poor Province" and "Small Province" After determining the name of Three Gorges Province, the State Council of my country also began to allocate some places to Three Gorges Province, some places in Sichuan Province and Hubei Province to Three Gorges Province, and designated Yichang, Hubei Province. For the provincial capital of Three Gorges Province. Thirty county towns were also given to Three Gorges Province. The thirty county towns include the Fuling area of ??Sichuan and Nanchuan County, Fengdu County, Wulong County, Xiushan County, Youyang County, Qianjiang County, Kaixian County and Liangping County in the Wanxian area. etc., Yichang County, Yidu County, Zhijiang County, Yuan'an County, Xingshan County, Changyang County, Badong County, etc. in Yichang District, Hubei Province.

After the location of the division was announced, many people discovered that the Three Gorges Province was originally a poor province, and it was also a small province, with a backward economy and a small area. Because Sichuan Province was relatively poor. The county seat has been given to the Three Gorges Province. There are not many economically prosperous areas in the Three Gorges Province, but there are many places where the economy is backward. Even Yichang, the provincial capital of Three Gorges Province, lags far behind Chengdu and other places in Sichuan. Moreover, Yichang city alone cannot support so many poor counties. The leaders sent by the state to Three Gorges Province also took pictures of a few poor people in Three Gorges Province. In the short film about the scene, many people’s food and clothing are in question. Moreover, many people have lost their labor force. The economy of Three Gorges Province is too backward. If it seriously emerges in Three Gorges Province, then Three Gorges Province will also become a burden to the country and require vigorous support from the country.

And another key issue is that the areas allocated to Three Gorges Province in Sichuan Province are all poor counties. Although Sichuan is willing to divide them, the areas allocated to Hubei Province are all wealthy counties in Hubei Province. Hubei Province is also very unhappy with this incident and does not support it. The Three Gorges Water Conservancy Project was abandoned, and the Three Gorges Province was completely stagnant. When the Three Gorges Water Conservancy Project was about to be implemented, the Vice Chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference took many people to the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River for survey. After the survey, he proposed that the Three Gorges Water Conservancy Project was not suitable. After the establishment of the Three Gorges Water Conservancy Project, many people began to have doubts about the Three Gorges Water Conservancy Project, and many objections emerged.

Some geologists also put forward their own opinions and suggestions, believing that the Three Gorges Project may not be suitable for construction, and raised some problems that the Three Gorges Province may be on the verge of. After the central government heard these problems, the leaders thought carefully, and then out of caution, The central government held a meeting to decide to conduct on-site surveys of the Three Gorges Province again, and then decide whether and how to build water conservancy projects.

In May 1986, the central government and the State Council transformed the Three Gorges Province Preparatory Group into the Three Gorges Regional Economic Development Office of the State Council, and then began to re-examine the Three Gorges Water Conservancy Project, and the preparations for the "Three Gorges Province" were temporarily suspended. Abandoned. Chongqing Municipality replaced the Three Gorges Province in the 1990s. The survey was completed and a new development plan was determined. The Three Gorges Project was put on the agenda again, but this time the plan included Chongqing City, because Chongqing City proposed to change the original plan. The water level has been raised from 150 meters to 180 meters. As a result, Chongqing, which originally did not participate in the Three Gorges Water Conservancy Project, has become an important project site of the Three Gorges Project. Therefore, the problem of overseas Chinese in the Three Gorges Project has also increased, and the plan needs to be revised. The State Council has also proposed a new solution to the problem of overseas Chinese in the Three Gorges Province, which is to establish a municipality directly under the central government of Chongqing. Chongqing's economic prosperity can solve the problem of overseas Chinese and prevent the poverty situation like that of Three Gorges Province. For the country and the overseas Chinese, They are all merit items.

Secondly, Chongqing’s economy can drive the development of the western region and connect the economic problems in southwest my country, killing two birds with one stone. Therefore, the State Council approved the establishment of Chongqing Municipality, which replaced the former Three Gorges Province and became the Chongqing Municipality. Approaches to dealing with diaspora issues. The Three Gorges Province that our country once planned to establish has been replaced by the Chongqing Municipality. Now the Three Gorges Water Conservancy Project has been completed and the issue of overseas Chinese has been solved. This also proves that the establishment of Chongqing Municipality is better than the Three Gorges Province in handling the issue of overseas Chinese. The Three Gorges Water Conservancy Project has also brought more and more economic benefits to our country. I hope that our Three Gorges Project can get better and better and bring more and more benefits and convenience to our country.
