                      The First Prize:

                      Second Prize:
                      No. 10: Gentle breeze turns over the book leaf
                        Taken by Jin Huapin in April 2011
                        Description: when I look up occasionally, I find the blue 
                        print drawing, the pencil, the profile which has turned 
                        yellow, the blue seal of Profile and Intelligence Office. 
                        This has compromised a scene that is more than familiar 
                        to me. The gentle breeze blows and turns over the book 
                        leaf, just like the youth and wisdom that the hydraulic 
                        workers have dedicated to the development of China's water 
                        resources and this is the gift that we present to the 
                        30¡¯s anniversary of HRC.
