      The construction project of the (Taoshan) Reservoir, the largest one ever built in Heilungkiang, is under way. Located 10 kilometers east of the Chitaiho Municipality in Poli County, the reservoir will have a total water storage capacity of 648 million cubic meters.]

      China’s growing success in global sports is sometimes presented by promoters or detractors as a top-down plan hatched and executed in Beijing. The story of Qitaihe (pronounced like “chee-thai-her”) shows another side: a powerful element of local initiative. []
      Many top skaters from Qitaihe come from blue-collar and farming families wagering that their children’s physical promise may open the way to sports honors and a better life. Fan’s parents have run a key-making and shoe repair shop in the city, which is in Heilongjiang Province, 125 miles from China’s border with Russia.
