当时最大的难点,还不在于施工本身的决策和实施。一些涉及淮河、长江、沂河、沭河全流域的工程,需要得到上、中游各省和有关部门的理解,得到中央和国务院的批准;而1958年大跃进和人民公社化所带来的严重经济困难,又使一些已经上马的大工程,面临着中途夭折的危险。刘顺元为此作出了艰巨努力。 At that time, the biggest difficulty was not the decision-making and implementation of the construction itself. Some projects involving the Huaihe River, the Yangtze River, the Yihe River and the Shuhe River catchment need to be understood by the upper and middle reaches of the provinces and relevant departments and have been approved by the Central Government and the State Council. The severe economic problems brought about by the Great Leap Forward and the people’s communes in 1958 Difficulties, but also to some of the major projects have been launched, facing the danger of midway death. Liu Shunyuan made arduous efforts to this end.
