During the War of Resistance against Japan, in order to counter the economic blockade imposed on the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region and to overcome the difficulties of the war, in April 1943, the 770th Regiment of the 385th Brigade was stationed in Dafengchuan and Xiaofengchuan in Huachi County. They implemented the land cultivation policy of Chairman Mao and Commander Zhu, safeguarding the border region while launching a production campaign, thereby creating a “Nanniwan of Eastern Gansu.”
The surging enthusiasm for production inspired artists, giving birth to the song “The Military-Civilian Large-Scale Production,” which resounded across China. The site of the large-scale production base still preserves original structures such as the training ground, memorial monument, and Qiqiao Bridge. A new Military-Civilian Large-Scale Production Memorial Hall has also been built opposite the training ground.
