The spirit of Hongqiqu inspires us to work hard. When the Hongqi Canal Project was started in the early 1960s, China was in a period of temporary economic difficulties. The people of Linxian county did not wait, rely on or ask for anything from the country. Instead, we rely on our own strength and wisdom to overcome all kinds of difficulties on the road ahead.

There are no roads to be repaired, no tools to be built, no lime to be burned, no cement to be made, no explosives to be ground, no technology to be learned, and no projects to be measured, designed, innovated and built by local methods. In the struggle with nature, it has formed an excellent character of self-reliance and hard struggle, and formed a valuable spirit of Hongqi Canal.

In the exhibition of Hongqi Canal Spirit, precious historical photos, sand table models, lanterns, shoulder pads and cotton-padded jackets used by some workers who repaired the canal in that year comprehensively reviewed and showed the process of the gestation, formation and development of Hongqi Canal Spirit. "At that time, life was difficult and there was no food. I sent people everywhere to dig wild vegetables and cook them. Although my stomach was empty, I didn't give up. At that time, the idea of the big guy was very simple, that is, we worked hard for a lifetime and let future generations enjoy happiness! " Guo Qiuying, a 55-year-old model worker, pointed to the dried wild vegetables on display and fondly recalled the scene of that year.
