This person is Zhang Maijiang. In fact, Zhang Maijiang prefers to call himself "the second generation of the canal". His father died while building a canal. He started building canals at the age of 13. Now, Zhang Maijiang's son has also become a canal protector, a family of three generations, guarding the Hongqi Canal. This is why this "little fool" is praised.

In the construction of Hongqi Canal, the spirit of "self-reliance, hard struggle, unity and cooperation, and selfless dedication" was formed with "Little Gong Yu", which led the hardworking and brave Linzhou people to "open their eyes again" and wrote magnificent chapters one after another.
