Vice Premier Chen Yonggui and his entourage's visit to Democratic Kampuchea for nearly half a month has come to an end. Comrade Pol Pot, secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Kampuchea and prime minister of the Kampuchean government, warmly and cordially accompanied them throughout the entire journey through the 181,000 square kilometers of splendid rivers and mountains in the east, west, north and south. The heroic people of Kampuchea have made a great impression on the Chinese comrades by their revolutionary drive and their cordial brotherhood among the Chinese people.
When Vice Premier Chen Yonggui arrived in Suong, the capital of the Eastern Region, on December 4, nearly 10,000 people gathered in the square, including factory workers, farmers from cooperatives, and commanders and fighters of the revolutionary army. Holding flowers and red flags, they were elated and chanted, "Long live Kampuchea-China revolutionary friendship and fighting unity!" When Vice Premier Chen Yonggui left the Eastern Region, a team of members on the edge of the rice field waved their hands. Groups of children under the willow forest, cheering and jumping. The gray-haired old man leaned against the window on the stilt house and smiled. As soon as many people saw Vice Premier Chen Yonggui, they enthusiastically shouted: "Dazhai! Dazhai! "On December 5, the Chinese guests crossed the Mekong River and arrived in Kampong Cham in the Central Region. From the pier to the hotel, on both sides of the kilometer-long street, there are densely packed welcoming people. Countless red flags fluttered in the wind on both sides of the boulevard.
Vice Premier Chen Yonggui really didn't want to go, and he made a suggestion to Secretary Pol Pot, saying: "It is the busy farming season, the labor force is very tight, we are all our own families, don't make such a big welcome team." However, Secretary Pol Pot said: "Our goal is the same, to do a good job in production." Chinese films reflecting the battle between Dazhai and the heavens and the earth have been screened in all major regions and rural areas, and our comrades of the central committee have watched them more than 20 times, which is a great encouragement to the Kampuchean people. The members of the Kampuchean Agricultural Cooperative saw Vice Premier Chen Yonggui on the screen, and everyone knows you. Now, they all want to see you in person again. This will make them even more inspired. Secretary Pol Pot added: "I understand the feelings of our people."
Then, full of comrade-in-arms between Kampuchea and China, Secretary Pol Pot recalled Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou's deep concern for the revolutionary struggle in Kampuchea, and talked about the support of the comrades of the Chinese Party headed by Chairman Hua for Kampuchea's revolution and construction. He recounted Premier Zhou Enlai's visit to Kampuchea in 1956. He said that on the day Premier Zhou arrived in Phnom Penh,
"I got up at 4 o'clock in the morning and rushed to Po Seng Dong Airport on my bicycle to wait for Premier Zhou's arrival." At this point, Secretary Pol Pot paused, as if this unforgettable historical scene was right before his eyes.
After talking about the past, Secretary Pol Pot said: "Well, in order not to make Comrade Chen Yonggui go a long way, the welcome procession can be shortened, but the number of people must be increased. That is, the welcome queue can be lined up in a few more rows. His witty solution elicited bursts of hearty laughter. Vice Premier Chen Yonggui said movingly: "The struggle and victory of the Kampuchean people are a great encouragement and support to the Chinese people. In the short period of two years after liberation, the Kampuchean people struggled hard and won great victories. We should see more, understand more, and learn more from the Kampuchean party and people. "
On December 7, Vice Premier Chen Yonggui drove to Angkor, accompanied by Secretary Pol Pot and others. They saw the minaret of Angkor Temple surrounded by beautiful waters. The motif of these three minarets, which has been painted on the flaming red flag of Democratic Kampuchea as a symbol of the Kampuchean nation. The buildings of Angkor Temple are all made of huge stone blocks. On the walls of the cloisters, there are many exquisite reliefs, which are lifelike.
On December 8, Vice Premier Tan Vinh Gui visited the Balaidula Reservoir on the outskirts of Siem Reap. It was established during the Angkor Dynasty. After the liberation, the Kampuchean people raised and widened the dam, built sluice gates, opened canals, and diverted water to irrigate the fields. Secretary Pol Pot also accompanied Vice Premier Chen Yonggui to visit the site of the earthen dam during the Angkor Dynasty. Secretary Pol Pot said that at that time, this small lake was for the emperor to play by boat. People can only come here during festivals.
Under the Angkor dynasty, the wisdom and labor of the people could not be used for the benefit of the people themselves. Now, the victory of the Kampuchean revolution has brought about a new scene, a new world has emerged. Chinese guests visited the Drobentmo reservoir in the 5th district of the North-Western Region. The guests and hosts looked far away, only to see the white lake and the distant mountains visible to Yixi, and a motorboat was breaking the waves. What an imposing picture. Comrade Ninh Loh, second vice chairman of the Presidium of the Democratic Kampuchea and secretary of the CPK Northwest Regional Committee and chairman of the Regional Committee for Serving the People, said that the people of the Fifth Region of the Northwest Region responded to the call of the party Central Committee and carried out water conservancy activities in a big way, and it took only two months to build it from 15 February to 13 April this year. This year, 150 million cubic meters of water will be stored. Then, on April 20, three more canals were dug to connect them to the reservoir. In the rainy season, tens of thousands of hectares of land can be saved from waterlogging; During the dry season, drought can be avoided and more than 7,000 hectares of rice can be irrigated. The reservoir continues to expand. The entire project is scheduled to be completed within four years. At that time, it can store 300 million cubic meters of water, and the beneficiary area will be greatly expanded.
Comrade Ning Luo said: "When we built the reservoir, it coincided with a drought. The 20,000 water conservancy army struggled to even drink water. "Just two years after the end of the war, the Kampuchean people have achieved such great things. How admirable is their revolutionary spirit of hard work and pioneering work.
Now, in the whole territory of Kampuchea, large, medium and small reservoirs are dotted, and the canals are vertical and horizontal, and the fertile fields are thousands of miles. The endless rice grows gratifyingly. The Drobentmo reservoir is just one example of this. Vice Premier Chen Yonggui also visited many other water conservancy projects. In order to commemorate the day when the attack on Phnom Penh began on 1 January 1975, the people of the Central Region built the "1 January Dam" to cut off the Cheni River and store water for irrigation, benefiting more than 10,000 hectares this year. Comrade Bao Ge, the party and government leader of the Central Region, said: "In the past, the presiding officer of the temple said that only the gods could intercept the Cheni River. Some of the older people did not believe it when they heard that the young people were going to block the Zeni River. Now a barrage has been built on the Zeni River, and many elderly people come to visit. Secretary Pol Pot said it well: "The people are the gods."
While visiting the Angkor monuments, Vice Premier Chen Yonggui said to Secretary Pol Pot: "Angkor is the pride of the Kampuchean people. I am confident that under the leadership of the Communist Party of Kampuchea, the Kampuchean people will create a new era that will be even more brilliant than the Angkor era.”
