The Hongqi Canal is a "diversion canal into the forest" project built on the mountainside of Taihang Mountain in the 1960s by the people of Lin County, Henan Province under extremely difficult conditions. Under the leadership of the Party, the people of Lin County relied on a hammer, a shovel, and two hands to dig holes in the cliffs of the Taihang Mountains and build bridges in ditches, and finally built the 1,500-kilometer-long Hongqi Canal. The Red Flag Canal is known as the "artificial Tianhe" by the world. Its completion has completely improved the harsh living environment of Lin County people who depended on the weather for rain. The spirit of "self-reliance, hard work, unity and cooperation, and selfless dedication" reflected in the process of building the canal is known as the "Red Flag Canal Spirit" and became the first great spirit to be included in the spiritual pedigree of the Chinese Communists.

During the on-site teaching session, party members studied "The Construction of the Red Flag Canal and the Formation of the Red Flag Canal Spirit" at the Hongqi Canal Memorial Hall, and realized the spiritual power of the people of Lin County in building the "Artificial Tianhe" with their strong will and fearless courage under difficult conditions; entering the Biandan Spirit Memorial Hall, Deeply feel the shoulder pole spirit of "a pole creates a family business and builds a bridge between the party and the masses", and appreciate the deep friendship between the party and the masses during the arduous entrepreneurship period; at the Gu Wenchang Memorial Hall, learn about Comrade Gu Wenchang's advanced deeds of cleanliness and hard work, diligence and integrity. During the interview and teaching session, by watching the documentary "The Towering Mountain Monument·Yang Gui", everyone gained an in-depth understanding of the touching deeds of Yang Gui, the then county party secretary who led the people of Lin County to build the Red Flag Canal.
The Party Committee of the Retired Department held a silver lecture at the Hongqi Canal Cadre College, and invited Li Xiaohong, the son of Li Gui, the then magistrate of Lin County, Zhang Maijiang, a special model in Hongqi Canal construction, and the supporting construction of Hongqi Canal branch canals.

Study experience of some retired party members
Member of the Party Committee and Secretary of the Second Party Branch of HuixinliHuang Zhenhua：
The Red Flag Canal training reminds us of the perseverance of the people who built the canal to "work hard to achieve revolution with one hammer and one hammer". As retired teachers, we must give full play to the role of "teaching and guiding" and pass on the party's fine traditions and pragmatic style to the younger generation. Maybe our steps are no longer agile, but we can make suggestions for society in various forms; maybe our eyesight is no longer clear, but we can use our personal experience to tell future generations what the Chinese spirit is.
The water of the Hongqi Canal is flowing in another form in the context of modernization. It is the desk lamp used by old teachers to correct homework at their desks, and it is the vivid narration of old party members in party classes. In the new era and new journey, we should take the initiative to make "leaving the job but not leaving the party, and retiring without fading" become a distinctive symbol of the silver-haired group. In the picture of Chinese-style modernization, the afterglow of the sunset is used to outline the struggle lines of this generation.
Secretary of Hepingli Party BranchLiu Yongshu：
During the training period, by visiting the Hongqi Canal and listening to interviews with model workers, I deeply felt the heroic feats of local cadres and the masses who fought against the odds and overcame all difficulties to build the Red Flag Canal. Many scenes were tear-jerking, and I deeply understood the style of the older generation who were strict with themselves and dedicated to doing practical things for the people. The spirit of the Red Flag Canal is a precious spiritual wealth that inspires our party members to move forward. As retired party members, we will do the following: keep up with the party, continue to study the party’s innovative theories, and strictly demand ourselves according to the standards of outstanding party members; actively promote the party’s innovative theories, tell the story of China in the new era, learn and do something when we are old, constantly improve our own quality, use our remaining energy, and contribute “silver power” to the advancement of Chinese-style modernization.
Member of Wangjing Second Party BranchRen Yingxiao：
After visiting the Red Flag Canal, I became more determined to inherit and carry forward the spirit of the Red Flag Canal. In daily life, we must continue to maintain a hard and simple life style, not covet comfort, not be extravagant and wasteful, and use our own practical actions to practice the traditional virtues of diligence and thrift. At the same time, we must also actively pay attention to the development of society and contribute our wisdom and efforts to national construction. We can use our remaining energy in community services and public welfare undertakings. More importantly, we must pass on the spirit of the Red Flag Canal to the next generation, so that they can establish correct values and outlook on life from an early age, cultivate their spiritual qualities of not being afraid of difficulties and daring to fight, and let the spirit of the Red Flag Canal shine more dazzlingly in the new era.
Member of the Party Branch of Taiji FactoryYan Changsen：
Through the visit and training, I learned more about the greatness and hardship of the Red Flag Canal Project. A large number of Communist Party members, including Yang Gui, then Secretary of the County Party Committee, led the people to achieve the great victory of man-made Tianhe after 10 years of hard work. Li Xiaohong, the son of Li Gui, the then county magistrate, told the hardships of logistical support, touching stories of self-reliance, and the excellent style of leading cadres who distinguished between public and private affairs, and were honest and self-disciplined. Zhang Maijiang, the cannon hero, and Guo Qiuying, the captain of the Iron Girl, all told their own growth process with their touching deeds. They are admirable and worth learning. The spirit of the Red Flag Canal will inspire me to never forget my original intention, never forget my oath to join the Party 56 years ago, and continue to work hard to be a qualified Communist Party member.
Member of Huixinlou Party BranchYao Liping：
Those of us, senior party members with silver hair who grew up listening to the story of the Hongqi Canal, had the opportunity to attend training at the Red Flag Canal under the careful organization of the Party Committee of the Retirement Department. We relived this glorious history and listened to the model workers talk about the process of building the canal and their thoughts. We were deeply touched and educated. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out when inspecting the Hongqi Canal Memorial Hall that socialism is earned by hard work, hard work, and sacrifice of life. This is not only true in the past, but also true in the new era. Without the hard work of the older generation, without the blood and even lives they paid, there would be no happy life today. We must remember them forever. Today, material life has been greatly improved, but the spirit of Foolish Old Man who moved mountains and worked hard cannot be changed. Today, China has undergone earth-shaking changes, and Lin County no longer sees the water shortage it used to have. On the high-speed train on the return trip, I saw that the land of the Central Plains has been rolling with wheat waves, and the whole of China is prosperous. While enjoying the fruits of reform and opening up, we retired party members must not forget the hard-won prosperity. We must implement the spirit of the eight central regulations with practical actions, never fade after retirement, never forget the party discipline, educate our children well, and continue to play the vanguard and exemplary role of party members.
