Guoliang wall road is Xinxiang City, Henan province Hui County
A wall hanging road in Guoliang Village, Shayao Township,
Also known as Guoliang Dong, Guoliang Dong wall hanging road,
Wanxianshan Cliff Corridor, Guoliang Tunnel, Guoliang Tunnel,
The cliff corridor of Guoliang Village was built in 1972 and completed in 1977.
It is all manually completed by the villagers of Guoliang Village.
Thirteen villagers who were mainly responsible for digging were called
Guo Liangdong "thirteen strong men".
The ancestors of the people of Liang Village fled to this desperate place for safety.
Previously, the road in and out of the village was made entirely of stone
And stone steps cut directly into a 90-degree cliff,
Called the "ladder of heaven", the sheep's intestines are steep,
There's room for one person, no protection,
Access is very dangerous. Cattle, sheep and pigs in Guoliang Village
Livestock are mostly taken from villagers when they are young calves
"It was carried up by the heavenly ladder. If she wanted to sell it to another village,
It's a 30-mile trek back down the mountain.
Usually from the "sky ladder" to carry mountain goods to the mountain,
In exchange for some daily necessities in short supply.
In the fall of 1971, the villagers responded
Mao Zedong
"Man can conquer nature", to escape the fate of generations of poverty,
And let his children no longer walk the steep stairway,
At the suggestion of a letter from the village Party secretary,
Villagers Shen Xinfu, Wang Huitang and Shen Fugui measured the height with a rope,
Distance, drawing with native methods, to the county to consult experts for advice.
In 1972, villagers spontaneously sold goats and yams,
Raise money to buy steel hammer, steel file; In the absence of electricity,
Without the harsh conditions of machinery,
The hole-digging commandos of the village's thirteen strong men braved the snow,
Hanging from the cliff with twine at his waist,
Dance hammer, in the red rock cliff cut a row of holes.
Thirteen young men gathered at the foot of the ladder and raised their fists against the wall,
Vowed to cut through the cliffs and open the road to the mountain.
On March 9, 1972, the construction of Guoliang Cave began.
Due to its high altitude, less arable land and short frost-free period,
You can only grow one crop a year,
The annual grain harvest is not more than 80,000 jin,
But this only 80,000 jin of grain is the entire village of hundreds of people's food rations.
Under these conditions, the 13 commandos had only 0.12 yuan a day for food,
Their meals were polenta, corn cakes, and wild vegetables,
In this way, there is only a quota of two jin of corn per person per day.
By the end of 1975, the project had entered a difficult phase,
The Guoliang people have sold out their goats and cut down their trees,
The grain was gone, and there was no more money.
At that moment, all the men and women of the village were out in force,
Get up at 5 in the morning, climb 5 kilometers to dig fish scale pits,
I dug all winter and spring and earned more than 3,100 yuan in wages.
After the party secretary took the money to the village,
More than 100 people surrounded him.
Tell him to hurry to town and buy steel, detonators, fuses, explosives.
The average height of Guoliang cliffs is 105 meters,
Blast the face through the middle of the cliff,
They had to tie a rope and they didn't have money for rope,
He unroped the ox from pulling the plow,
Pick them up, drop them off the cliff.
In this way, the strong men who participated in the tunnel did not care about life or death,
With life and blood to make the gap into a road.
