那是一个巴扎天——1994年8月下旬的一个星期五。赶巴扎的维吾尔族老汉肉孜阿洪走得口渴。像往常一样,他下到曲吉涝坝边,弯腰捧水喝。他做梦也没想到:就是这一瞬间,决定了他的家乡和田,将铸就一项跨世纪工程;他和乡亲们千百年来的喝水传统,将会改变。 It was a Bazar - a Friday in late August 1994. The Uighur veteran Khan Ah Hwan, who had been in Bazaar, went thirsty. As usual, he went down to the side of Qujiulogu and bowed his hand to drink water. He never dreamed: it was this moment that decided that his hometown, Hotan, would create a trans-century project; the tradition of drinking water for thousands of years with him and his folks would change.
