From this part on the upstream portion in Szechuan, each chapter had a focus. For example at the Min River, I talked about the ancient Tuchiang Embankment, and made a comparison between that and Three Gorges. You could say that the former is the simplest, most humane form of water conservancy project, and it has benefited countless people over the last 2,000 years.
從四川上游的這部分，每一章我都有一個重點，譬如岷江我談都江堰，就把古老的都江堰和現代的三峽作一比較，都江堰可以說是最簡單、最人性化的一個水利工程，至今兩千多年，造福了許多人。
