China News Service, Chengdu, November 9 (Reporter He Xi) "Happy Rivers and Lakes·Hydrating Sichuan" - Sichuan River and Lake Chief System and Happy Rivers and Lakes Construction Achievements Exhibition Event was held on the 9th at the bank of Yinggui Lake in Jinniu District, Chengdu. This year marks the tenth year of the comprehensive implementation of the river chief system in Sichuan.
Dong Li, Party Secretary and Director of the Sichuan Provincial Department of Water Resources and Director of the Provincial River Chief Office, reported a set of data at the event: In the past ten years, Sichuan's 48,000 river and lake chiefs have patrolled rivers more than 10.34 million times and solved more than 610,000 river and lake problems; the water quality of 345 national and provincial examination sections has maintained 100% excellent for three consecutive years; a total of 151 happy rivers and lakes have been built, benefiting more than 51 million people. When it comes to specific rivers, 8 mother rivers such as the Modi River in Chengdu have been revived, rivers that have stopped flowing have become clear again, and 11 rivers and lakes including Furong Creek in Mianyang have entered the national list of happy rivers and lakes.
The Popularity Awards, Painting, Photography, Short Video and Outstanding Organization Awards of the 8th "Meeting Happy Rivers and Lakes" themed collection event were also presented at the scene. Qin Jiahui, a student from Chadianzi Primary School in Chengdu, went on stage to receive the painting award. What she painted was the Tianfu Art Park near her home: the lake was as clear as a mirror, with golden carp swimming in the water and white birds perched on the top of the waves. "My home is near Tianfu Art Park, and I often come here to play on weekends." Qin Jiahui said that her mother told her that this place was originally a shantytown reform area in Yuejin Village and was transformed into a park. The thatched weirs and river and lake water systems in the park have been ecologically treated, and the water quality of some lake areas has reached Class 2 water standards. "The teacher said that the Class 2 water is very clean and can be used to raise fish and grass. Children can play safely by the lake."

"Using my own image as a public welfare figure, I will lead by example to practice environmental awareness and do it myself." Liu Jin said that he must not only tell good stories, but also take the initiative to publicize, and more importantly, use literary and artistic methods to publicize. "Water is the source of life and the mother of all things." He said that as a publicity ambassador, he will put part of his work on this, telling the story of China, the story of rivers and lakes, and the environmental protection story of Sichuan.
