Just over 20 years ago, when talking about Mulan Stream, people still talked about the discoloration of "stream".
Due to the large gap between the upper and lower reaches of the Mulan River and the slow flood discharge of the downstream river, floods are prone to occur every flood season.

Flood control, science first.
During his work in Fujian, Xi Jinping cared about and investigated the management of Mulan River 10 times, and specially invited domestic authoritative water conservancy experts to finally find the "soft-body drainage" technology, and designed the country's first physical model for the management of Mulan River. .
In December 1999, Xi Jinping conducted an on-the-spot investigation and inspected the test results, and believed that the conditions for construction had been met.
On December 27, the construction of the first phase of the experimental section of Mulan River started, and Xi Jinping participated in voluntary labor with more than 6,000 cadres, the masses, officers and soldiers.
Comrade Xi Jinping said at the scene: "Today is the day when the flood control project in the lower reaches of the Mulan River started. We are here to participate in the labor. The purpose is to push the water conservancy repairs to a climax throughout the winter and spring. In addition, we support the reconstruction of the Mulan River and the project's support. Construction, so that Mulan River will turn harm into benefit and benefit the people in the future."
In 2011, the flood control project in the lower reaches of Mulan River was fully completed, and more than 200,000 mu of plains, 70 administrative villages and nearly one million people in the lower reaches are no longer plagued by floods.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has visited Fujian twice, and he has always been thinking about the construction of ecological civilization.
The general secretary pointed out that it is necessary to adhere to the ecological protection first, and to coordinate protection and development, and Mulanxi also followed the direction of the general secretary to start a green revolution again.

In 2021, the proportion of excellent water quality in 18 national and provincially controlled sections of the Mulan River Basin will exceed 94%, and industrial clusters represented by ecotourism, electronic information, and new materials will be formed rapidly.
In 2021, Putian's GDP will reach nearly 290 billion yuan, more than double that in 2012, with an average annual growth rate of 8.5%.
