Construction of the red-flag canal was a remarkable feat in the history of Chinese hydraulic projects. The "Red-flag Canal", like many other iconographic art works, served to encourage the Chinese people's will to build a great nation. As time goes by, the political implications of these pictures have faded, and the simple and pristine faces of Chinese people in a pre-consumerist period remain. The audience can see quiet fortitude, steadfast faith and valiant will to overcome all obstacles. (Curator: Liu Shuyong)
