The statue of "The First Plow of Military Reclamation" is located in Shihezi Square, together with the group sculptures of "New Movement of the Frontier Fortress" on the left, and the "General Sculpture" in the middle is distributed in characters, which is particularly attractive among the green trees and flowers.
   "The First Plow of Military Reclamation" was made by Zhang Yuli and Yang Meiying, professors of the Sculpture Department of Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts. It is forged copper, 7 meters long and 2.7 meters high. The base is gray marble, 9 meters long and 1.4 meters high. The author tries to evoke people's memories of the era of entrepreneurship through artistic works, with a deep and dignified tone. The three reclamation warriors struggling to pull the plow are very familiar and intimate images to the old military reclamators—the simple military uniforms, primitive labor tools, and dignified gait explain the extremely difficult conditions for starting a business back then. The author uses rough and profound exaggeration to praise the tenacity and tenacity of man's struggle with nature.
