When I was very young, people in our village lived by planting fruit trees. My grandmother always took me to
the orchard (果园) on the hill. At that time, they had to carry water from the river at the foot of the hill to halfway
up the hill. Even though we worked so hard, the production level of fruit was still low because it was short of water
there.
One day, two young men led a group of workers to our village. They learned about the difficulties we faced,
and later, canals and other projects began to be built in my village, “Who are they?” I asked. “They are good men
from our government,” my grandma replied.
Shortly afterwards, I moved to another city for my junior high school. The only reason I ever came back to my
hometown was my grandmother.
One day, my family and I made time to return. We were surprised because everything had changed. The canal
ran past every orchard so villagers didn’t have to go up and down the hill anymore. The river was now so clean that
fish swam happily in it. When we arrived home, my grandma took out some fresh pears and apples. She told us that
after the water conservation project (水利工程) was completed, a policy (政策) was made to encourage more
people to increase the fruit production with clean water in the river.
Thank those good men who have devoted themselves to the development of our countryside.
