Flow from the source of the Tarim River to the tailbone, Pomegranate Cloud/ Xinjiang Daily reporter met a group of people who work and live on both sides of the Tarim River all year round. For them, people are in Tahe River, livelihoods are in Tahe River, careers are in Tahe River, love is in Tahe River, homes are in Tahe River, and roots are also in Tahe River.
In the past ten years, they have experienced many changes, some of which are very big, and even huge -
Some have hated the thousand-year-old flood of homes and love today to start a business. It is expected that the family business will be expected;
Some have ferried on the Ta River for 30 years, and now a bridge has flown across the banks, and the "old captain" has started a new life;
Some have been companionship with youth, taking the "post-90s" and "post-00s" to the grassland to revitalize the countryside;
Some have been in Taiwan The grass and herds of sheep on the banks of Tema Lake, and they met and fell in love;
Some people go to work in a national tourist attraction in the morning, and both couples return home at night;
Some people regard both sides of the Ta River as the main battlefield of scientific research, providing a "super strong brain" for the comprehensive management of the Ta River;
Some people experience the rebirth of the Ta River, and become Ta River people forever...
The Tarim River, formed by 9 major water systems and 144 rivers, rushing 2,486 kilometers in southern Xinjiang, 1.02 million square kilometers, and the earth is endless because of it. The longest inland river in China is flowing with countless stories about Tahe people, day by day, year by year.

Kurbanisa Hoga's home is in Altash Village, Hoshrafu Township, Shache County. Since ancient times, it has been a must-pass way to enter the Karakoram Mountains and the Pamir Plateau , and is known as the "First Village of Kunlun". Yalkang River flows through the village, but what she leaves is a terrible childhood memory: the flood comes, and in an instant, the home and fields turn into nothing.
This is her fear.
In the past ten years, the Altash Water Conservancy Hub Project , which has the same name as the village, has been completed. This is one of the 172 major water-saving and water supply projects promoted by the State Council and one of the 100 major projects in the country during the 13th Five-Year Plan period. It has bound the Yarkand River for thousands of years of flooding.
4 years ago, the whole village moved to a new home. Standing in my own yard, I could hear the surging sound of water, but there was no risk of flooding. As I wished, my father went to work in a nearby power plant, and my mother worked as a team leader in the village.
At the end of 2020, 10 counties including Shache County in Kashgar Prefecture, withdrew from the poverty-stricken county sequence. The lives of Kurbanisa Hoga and his neighbors open a new chapter.
This year, thanks to the new policy, she took the general college entrance examination and was admitted to a college in Urumqi from a secondary vocational school as she wished, and started a new dream-chasing journey.
This is her love.

In the past ten years, he worked at different sites in the Yarkand River Basin, and later returned to the place where he first started working as a webmaster.
This year, his son passed the recruitment examination and entered the water conservancy system. Since then, the family has been relaying to protect the Yarkand River.
In recent years, his biggest concern is to build the temporary water diversion dragon mouth of Tabuwuzi of Yiganqi Reservoir into the real canal.This old Longkou was founded 67 years ago. People in the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps Shache County , Maigaiti County , Bachu County and Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps Regiment Resources Recruiting water, and flood control rely on it.
Before I retired, I also let Lao Longkou, who had been "temporarily" for 67 years, "retirement". This is Lao Ma's wish.

Yasen Maimati, 26 years old this year, lives in Kala Yujimai Village, Yingwustang Township, Bachu County.
Four months ago, 500 meters away from the Yarkand River Minsheng Water Diversion Hub, he and his cousin jointly opened a "Minsheng Canal Ecological Farmhouse".
In the past, the Yarkand River was unruly, and the flood fighting made the locals suffer. After the canal head was completed in 1989, a series of problems such as flood control and irrigation were solved. The people were particularly happy. They all said that this was a people's livelihood project, and the name of "people's livelihood head" came from this.
Yasen Maimati grew up in the corner of the Qutou. In the past ten years, he was admitted to Urumqi to go to university as he wished and realized his first life dream. During his days working in Urumqi, the dream of entrepreneurship rose in his heart.
More and more people are visiting the people's livelihood channel to see the scenery, take vacations, and take wedding photos, and the flow of water has brought business opportunities. With the loud sign of the people's livelihood canal, my cousin opened a farmhouse with more than 500,000 yuan earned by opening a restaurant and excavator. He used his professional expertise to participate in management, and his entrepreneurial dream became a reality.
Now, they are planning the second phase of the farm stay. Yasen Maimati is full of energy and full of energy.
Yin Yuehua: The "scary" management station has become the second home
htmlOn August 1, Yin Yuehua (third from right) said when playing billiards in the activity room that he wanted to hit a "147", but he didn't expect to hit the white ball and knock it down the bag. Pomegranate Cloud/Xinjiang Daily reporter Wang Qiming Photo by
Yin Yuehua is the assistant director of the Aksu Water Diversion Hub Management Station of the Tarim River Basin.
Arixi Water Diversion Hub is the first water conservancy hub on the Aksu River and was built in the 1960s.
"In the early years, how hard was it to work on the stand? I was frightened when I went to work on the first day!" Yin Yuehua talked about the scene back then: he used a trolley to pull soil to level the pit as a yard, and used it when he pumped water from the river. He went home to take a shower and change clothes every half a month...
In the past ten years, he has personally experienced major changes in the office environment and living environment of grassroots sites.
In 2017, a new type of Airesi Water Conservancy Hub was built 580 meters upstream of the old hub.
In the past two years, the grassroots stations in the Tarim River Basin have carried out "Ten Ones" standardization construction. The management station where Yin Yuehua is located has offices, dormitories, canteens, orchards, activity rooms, reading rooms, breeding areas, vegetable greenhouses, etc., and the office environment and living environment have changed drastically. "Now, the management station has become our second home," said Yin Yuehua.
This year is Yin Yuehua’s 26th year of working by the river. He used an ancient poem to say that he wanted to "become a Tahe person forever."
Maimeti Maihemuti: The "old captain" who has achieved new development
htmlOn August 3, Maimeti Maihemuti danced improvised at the old ferry of the Tarim River located in Hadedun Town, Shaya County. Pomegranate Cloud/Xinjiang Daily reporter Wang Qiming Photo by
In the past ten years, the changes in Maimeti Mahemuti's life can be described as "huge".
This "huge" takes 2019 as the watershed.
In 1989, he went from a carpenter to a boatman on the Tarim River. In the early years, the villagers were nervous and he invented the "membership system" of ferrying: give a goat and cross the Ta River within a year. Over the past 30 years, it is roughly estimated that this "old captain" has sent 500,000 people across the Tahe River.
Time comes in 2019. A few hundred meters away from the ferry of his ferry, the Hardun Bridge flies across the sides of the river. The villagers no longer need to take a boat to cross the river, which truly achieves convenience and speed.
Mai Mai has arrived ashore, but he is not idle. He took the lead in establishing three cooperatives in agriculture, breeding and agricultural machinery. Now, his family has planted more than 6,000 acres of cotton, and there are thousands of cattle and sheep in the pen.
However, every month he has to return to the old ferry, sit on the shore, watch the Tarim River rush forward, and listen to the sound of the Tarim River waves.

Ten years ago, Na Mujili Cairen, who had completed his studies, decided to go back to his hometown to do something. Today, he has become the Party Branch Secretary and the Village Committee Director of Sairem Village, Bayinbrook Town, Hejing County.
The members of the village "two committees" team who worked with him are a group of young people born in the 1990s and 2000s. "Our friends are enthusiastic, have a lively mind, run fast, and have strong ability to do things!" he said.
Sairemu Village where he is located is a pure animal husbandry village, less than ten kilometers away from the famous Swan Lake "Nine Curves and Eighteen Bends". Kaidu River flows from his hometown to Bosten Lake , and then injects into the Tarim River through Peacock River .
He was 32 years old this year and was born on this grassland. Now, he is leading his fellow villagers to set up cooperatives to develop animal husbandry and develop tourism.
Namjili Cairen said: "I am Bayinbrook's child, and we must keep up with rural revitalization!"
Shen Jun: Catching up with the unprecedented comprehensive management in the history of Tahe River
htmlOn August 16, Shen Jun (second from right) led people to strengthen a river embankment downstream of the main stream of the Tarim River. This year, many rivers in the Tahe River Basin experienced over-warranty floods, but because the upstream water conservancy hubs and flood control projects over the years are quite powerful, and scientific scheduling and management, the river section he is responsible for is in danger. Pomegranate Cloud/Xinjiang Daily reporter Wang Qiming Photo
Shen Jun is the deputy director of Yingbaza Management Station of the Tarim River Main Stream Management Bureau, and is 36 years old this year. When he was a child, the Ta River he saw in his books was a "wild horse" with a wanton ocean of More than ten years ago, when he first saw the Tahe River in reality, he was disappointed: "The water level is less than my knee."
He was the first group of employees recruited by the Tarim River Mainstream Administration. He caught up with the unprecedented comprehensive management of Tahe River in history, witnessing the smaller, less frequent and better ecology on both sides of the Tahe River.
Now, in his eyes, the "wild horse" has become a "sweat-blooded BMW". With precise dispatch, the Tahe River water not only cuts off floods, but also irrigates more farmland along the coast and nourishes more poplar forests.
"Some people say that we are guarding the longest inland river on the edge of China's largest desert. 14 years have passed, and I am willing to continue to protect the Ta River." Shin Jun said.
Ling Hongbo: Find a "bull's eye" for Tahe management in the main battlefield of scientific research
htmlOn August 24, Ling Hongbo conducted a poplar seed seed germination experiment in the ecological restoration experimental area of the poplar forest seed irrigation in the lower reaches of the Tarim River. Pomegranate Cloud/Xinjiang Daily reporter Wang Qiming Photo by
Ling Hongbo is a researcher at Institute of Xinjiang Ecology and Geography, Chinese Academy of Sciences . Since 2007, both sides of the Tarim River have become his main battlefield for scientific research, and the core of work is to provide important scientific and technological support for the ecological restoration and protection of the lower reaches of the Tarim River.
About 10 kilometers downstream of Daxi Haizi Reservoir in Weili County , there is an experimental area located deep in the dense forest of poplar euphratica, which is Ling Hongbo's scientific research "shooting range". He wants to find the "bull's eye" for ecological restoration of poplar forests. For example, how much water is used to water the original poplar forest to be efficient and high-quality? Under what conditions does poplar seeds germinate to grow the best seedlings? How can ecology be restored in places where vegetation declines...
A few years of spring and autumn, his master's and doctoral thesis were completed on both sides of the Ta River. The poplar spirit also inspired him and many scientific researchers to continue to provide a "super strong brain" for the comprehensive management of this longest inland river in China.
Tumierhan Abra: On the water side is I love
htmlOn August 19, Tumierhan Abra took her summer vacation child and her husband Turdi Amati to enjoy a warm time on the tamar sandbag grazing site on the shore of Lake Taitma. Pomegranate Cloud/Xinjiang Daily reporter Wang Qiming Photo
The first encounter between the reporter and Tumierhan Abra and his wife began with this question: "Do you still bring your wife with you when you come out to herd sheep?"
Tumirhan blurted out: "There are too many wild boars in this place, and he is afraid, so I will accompany him and protect him."
At the shore of Lake Taitma, the vast wild sky, a shepherd's "serious" answer made the reporter decide to listen to their love story.
In 2004, the Tumierhan family moved from 400 kilometers away to one kilometer away from the Turdi Aimeti family.
When he brought her home-planted melon to her who came from afar, she whispered to her mother: He looked very much like the person he saw in his dream. Later, every two or three days, he would ride a motorcycle to take her to a nearby farm to buy groceries. The long tick she made was also entangled in his heart.
They fell in love and got married, and were on the shore of Lake Taitma.
In the past ten years, Tumier Khan's life has undergone tremendous changes. In 2012, the Ruoqiang County Government built Yingsu Animal Husbandry Village in Tieganlik Town, which is close to the county town. They moved from adobe houses to a brand new home. The two children entered the campus as they wished. The eldest son is now a student of Ruoqiang County Technical School, and the youngest son is in the primary school in Ruoqiang County. She cared for two children in her new home to go to school. He continued to grazed on the shore of Lake Taitma, with more than 500 sheep - five times that of ten years ago.
