Talk about wishes

In 2003, she came to Inner Mongolia for an inspection tour, which lasted ten days and covered a distance of nearly 8,000 kilometers. After that, planting one million trees on the severely desertified grassland in Inner Mongolia became the mother's new goal.

Nowadays, a small part of Horqin grassland, known as the "800-mile dry sea", has been gradually covered by green; Yi Jiefang, called "Mother Earth" by Japanese media, grew up with100000 "children" on the Inner Mongolia prairie.

My son is my pride, and I always regard him as my side.

When it comes to her son, Yi Jiefang always has a mixed feeling of pride and sadness. At first, in Japan, Yi Jiefang and his wife went to Japan with their 3-year-old son, Yang Ruizhe, as soon as they established themselves in Japan. As the only foreign student in the class, "the teacher was worried that he couldn't understand at first, and we were afraid that he wouldn't adapt." Unexpectedly, he won the first place in the class in the first mid-term exam, and everyone was surprised. " Ruizhe is not only excellent in grades, but also helpful. The students elected him monitor until graduation.

From 65438 to 0998, Ruizhe was admitted to Central University of Japan, one of the six famous universities in Japan. Easy-to-liberate couples who marry late and have children late are more proud and happy for their sons. However, May 22nd, 2000 shattered all the hopes of the couple.

"On this day, I just went to work in the company. Half an hour later, I received an urgent call from the school teacher, saying that my son had just met a traffic accident on his way to school. The situation is not very good. His heart has stopped beating. I didn't react at first, but then I suddenly felt that the news was not quite right. "

When she rushed into the hospital to see her son, doctors and nurses had rescued him for two hours, but they still didn't snatch him back from death. Holding a son with residual heat, it is easy to liberate him. "Try to give him artificial respiration, press his chest, and don't let the doctor pull out the last tube in his son's mouth until his father comes. Don't give up ..."

For more than a year, Yi Jiefang couldn't face the fact of losing his son, and worked hard to raise his son and left. But it is those classmates and friends around Ruizhe who make the middle-aged couple who lost their children strong. Yi Jiefang told reporters that whenever Rizzo's birthday or the anniversary of his death, Rizzo's Japanese classmates would gather tacitly in Taitai seaside park in Tokyo Bay, where Rizzo loved to go before his death. Although they all went their separate ways and took part in the work, they would meet in the middle of the night after work, ride motorcycles together, take Yang Jun in their hearts and retrace the familiar road that Yang Jun walked before his death.

Two years later, Yi Jiefang began to calm down and suddenly recalled a conversation between mother and son two weeks before her son's accident.

"What do you want to do when you return to China?" For the son who is about to choose a life goal, the mother asks her son.

"Mom, what do you think of greening the desert?" The son's answer surprised the mother.

"Yes, you will soon graduate from college, and your mother can return to China to contribute to the construction of the northwest." The mother seems to have affirmed her son's proposal.

"If you don't do it, if you want to do it, you must be big." Looking at her son's firm eyes and expression, the mother was once again surprised by her son, who never talks big or empty words at ordinary times. Today is even more unusual.

"Of course, do you want to rock? But it needs a lot of money, how to solve it? " Mother and son looked at each other for a long time. Indeed, money is a problem.

Yi Jiefang recovered from Lacrimosa's state. In her memory, she searched for her son's three wishes before his death: first, planting trees to improve the ecological environment in China; Second, promote Sino-Japanese exchanges and do something for China with our economic knowledge in Japan. Thirdly, I want to write a book for my mother. Talking about this, Yi Jiefang smiled with a smug smile and said, "My son thinks that my life experience is very rich and wants to write a biography for me, hehe."

"I just went to see my son a few days ago. The old couple go back to see him on the 22nd of every month to help him report his work and talk about his recent health. I always thought he was with me. Although we can't take care of him, we can help him realize his wish. "

"Living, standing to stop the wind and sand; Fall down, ignite yourself and give others light. "

Both husband and wife resigned and put all their savings and energy into a "green life". The Japanese TBS TV station made an exclusive interview with the Horqin Desert in Inner Mongolia, and released some amazing data: 1.9 million square meters of land on the earth becomes desert every second, and 78 square meters of land in China becomes desert every second. At this rate, a football field will become a desert in one minute and thirty seconds. This data sounds shocking, but the land desertification rate of 78 square meters per second does occur in China. Sandstorm is not only a patent of environmental deterioration in China, but also has a negative impact on the ecological environment of neighboring countries such as Japan and South Korea. Because the sandstorm in northeast China is closest to Japan, it is easier to get donations from Japanese enterprises and individuals for its environmental management. Yi Jiefang decided to plant trees in Inner Mongolia.

"First of all, we are going to plant 1 10,000 mu of apricot natural ecological forest in the sandy land of Horqin Hure Banner in eastern Inner Mongolia. Species 165438+ million seedlings. " As the chairman of "Green Living", she firmly put forward the goals of the organization. The implementation of the plan will cost nearly 265.438 billion yuan. Only 165438+ million seedlings need 165000 yuan. The cost of watering per 10,000 mu is 400,000 yuan, plus the cost of setting fences and fence wires is about 40,000 yuan, as well as various funds such as sand control equipment such as chain rail vehicles, diesel engines and pumps, well drilling, insect prevention and fire prevention management. , a total of 2.06 million yuan, not a small sum.

"Anyway, the operation of the activity needs funds. Fate often makes me wonder if my son sacrificed his life to plant trees. I think so, too, so I want to donate part of his insurance money, 250 thousand yuan, to the Hope Project at the expense of my son's life, and the other part for afforestation and desert reconstruction. " This project has been intertwined with his son's life value. Therefore, Yi Jiefang shouldered her son's hope and devoted herself to the cause of afforestation.

The news that a Shanghai couple wanted to turn sand into green land excited the villagers in Hure Banner, Inner Mongolia. On the day when the first tree was planted, the whole village came to help plant trees. What is even more surprising is that in the perennial drought in Hure Banner, a timely rain fell, and the survival rate of the first batch of small saplings reached more than 70%. Yi Jiefang looked at the original sand, which is now completely covered with green. It was incredible, which made her have an unusual idea: "The son's soul will definitely turn into a green life all over the mountains and return to the land of China where he was born and raised."

In 2004, in order to thank the Yi Jiefang couple for their selfless dedication, the people of Hure Banner specially built a monument for their son. On the front of the monument are two words written by Yi Jiefang and her husband to their son: "Live, stand up and stop the sandstorm;" Fall down, ignite yourself and give others light. " Although nearly sixty years old, Yi Jiefang is still running around to raise funds to achieve her goals. "We also sold a house in Shanghai recently." Ms. Yi revealed to reporters.

A million mothers, a million trees.

Although it is very difficult to raise funds, more and more people have joined the ranks of "green life". This year, with the support of Shanghai Roots and Shoots, "Green Life" has gained more volunteers and greater influence. "More and more college students come to our organization to volunteer." Recently, Yi Jiefang is preparing a public welfare activity of "One Million Mothers, One Million Trees". "You donate money to plant a tree in 5 yuan, and you can reduce the desert by 4 square meters for the earth. Donating 200 yuan can plant 1 10 seedlings for an acre of desert, and you will restore an acre of green vegetation or ecological forest for our country! " Yi Jiefang appealed when talking about environmental protection.

"As the son of an ordinary mother, I can't help but be moved. Because of the desire and persistence of this ordinary mother, because I also have an ordinary mother, because of the greatest maternal love in the world, I can't help but be moved, and I can't help but support it. Perhaps many other charities in China have deceived us and hurt us, but I have personally experienced the activities of planting trees in Inner Mongolia and cannot help but believe the sincerity and persistence of this mother. " A volunteer who went to Inner Mongolia to plant saplings lamented himself.
