[Carrying Forward the Spirit of the Long March, Advancing on the Journey of Rejuvenation] Gansu: Long March Footprints Enrich the Land as the Revolutionary Heartland Writes a New Chapter

The Tao River Diversion Project is supplying water steadily, bringing Tao River water to the arid plateaus of central Gansu and benefiting nearly 6 million people along its route.

In the Huining of the past, drought struck in nine years out of ten, and water was more precious than grain. After arriving in Huining, the Red Army established a rule: no officers or soldiers were permitted to use the local people's stored cistern water or water for daily living. Today, the Tao River Water Diversion Project—Gansu's water diversion project with the largest investment, longest diversion canal route, and widest geographical coverage—has achieved a stable water supply. Water from the Tao River, a tributary of the Yellow River, crosses mountains and ridges to reach the arid loess plateaus of central Gansu, becoming a source of "water for happiness" that nourishes nearly 6 million people along its route.

Gansu is carrying forward its revolutionary heritage and advancing local development in pursuit of Chinese modernization.

At a new historical starting point, the people of Gansu are carrying forward their revolutionary heritage and striving to write Gansu's chapter in Chinese modernization.

Gansu plans to develop four national advanced manufacturing clusters and six industrial clusters each worth 100 billion yuan during the 15th Five-Year Plan period.
