With a comrade a young man in a red shirt is carrying a large stone as part of a massive dam building project in shades of gray and red in the background. Dazhai county's success story was one of self-reliance in turning infertile soil into productive land by relying on manpower and hard work. In the early 1970s, Dazhai had become the benchmark for all agricultural production and hard work. The Dazhai example had to be followed everywhere, regardless of what local conditions might be.
