If you love a person,

you should give them a strong sense of safety.

Beautiful mountains and rivers

and peaceful time

are essential to a good life.

Someone must have worked hard for you.

 

Water nurtures Hubei,

but also brings Hubei troubles.

Rising Tides of the Yangtze River

Flood disasters have frequently taken place

in the Yangtze River Basin since the Warring States Period.

Chu people built water conservancy facilities at that time.

According to over-2,000-year-old written records

spanning several dynasties,

Many water conservancy projects such as

flood control, drainage, irrigation and shipping projects

Were carried out to protect the livelihood of ordinary people.

Relying on the flood control capacity of 22.15 billion cubic meters,

the Three Gorges Dam Project has succeeded

in flood retention, peak clipping and peak staggering.

It has successfully protected plains,

millions of people and millions of hectares of farmland

in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
