Chengdu and Volgograd: Nostalgia Tourist. Dujiangyan irrigation system

This September, Volgograd and Chengdu students have prepared a whole series of colorful and informative videos about the iconic statues, buildings and little-known sites of Volgograd and Chengdu. Qin Xueyao from Chengdu will tell us about bout the most ancient irrigation system in the world -- the spectacular Dujiangyan.

Tell us a little bit about yourself, please.

– Hello, our Russian friends. My name is Qin Xueyao, I'm 12 years old. I am in Class 5,Grade 7. My school is Yucai Middle School Attached to Chengdu No.7 High School, Xuedao Campus.

Why did you choose this particular spot for the video?

– Chengdu was threatened by the frequent floods caused by flooding of the Minjiang River. Li Bing, started considering this issue carefully. After a lengthy study and a lot of hard work, the great Dujiangyan Irrigation Project was completed. Since then, the Chengdu Plain has been free of flooding. Now, the project is honored as the 'Treasure of Sichuan', which still plays a crucial role in draining off floodwater. That's why I introduce it to you in detail. At present, it still shows the wisdom and the unity of the people in Chengdu.

If you found yourself in Volgograd for a whole day, what would you like to see and do?

– If I could stay at Volgograd for a day, in my view, I'll have a wonderful and unbelievable time! First, I would like to meet our Russian friends, talk with them and find something special in Russia which I was unable to hear before. Afterwards, I shall have a lesson with them to experience the way of education in Russia. Is it different from China? After that, I'm going to visit their whole school. It's very essential to know their history and success. In the afternoon, I'm going to visit their famous city attractions. Finally, I'll have a performance to our friends to make us know each other deeply. I wish our friendship will last forever!

Xueyao's video is waiting for you on YouTube:
