Have you ever seen trees growing in the desert?

I know there is a group of people!

More than ten years!

Decades!

They are all doing the same thing...

Keeping the desert into an oasis

When the overwhelming yellow sand sweeps in

Six old men from Gulang County, Wuwei City, Gansu Province

Guo Chaoming, He Falin, Shi Man, Luo Yuankui, Cheng Hai, and Zhang Runyuan

Put their red fingerprints on the contract

The Babusha Collective Forest Farm was established in the form of joint household contracting

They agreed

Each of the six families must have a "shovel picker"

Cannot be cut off

The descendants have taken over the shovels from their parents and led the masses

370,000 acres of sand have been closed for afforestation and 40 million trees have been planted!

Ma Yunping and his wife took the initiative to contract more than 3,700 acres of sandy land in 2000

At that time, this move became a joke among the villagers

More than ten years later

This sandy land is covered with more than 200,000 trees

Wildflowers and grasses are distributed among them

It is full of life!

It is very difficult to plant trees in sandy land

The survival rate is not high

But she persisted

For more than 20 years

She greened more than 27,000 acres of sandy land in one day

She also led the villagers to get rich together

There are many such stories

This persistence and dedication continues...

Heroes of desert control, salute you!
