Populus euphratica is one of the ancient rare trees in Xinjiang. It is also called Hutong or Wutong in ancient Chinese books. The Uygur people call it Tokekela, which means the most beautiful tree. Because of its amazing drought resistance, With its ability to withstand sandstorms and salt-alkali, it can survive and multiply in the desert, so it is praised as the "Desert Hero Tree." In the vast Gobi desert, you can always see various poplar trees, like drunken travelers, such as The eagle strikes and the crane dances, like a tiger and leopard leaping, like a horse standing upright, like a dragon and snake coiled around, like a traveler looking far away... Having seen Populus euphratica, you will deeply appreciate Populus euphratica's desire and unyieldingness for life, walking through the Populus euphratica forest , you will be surprised by the beauty of Populus euphratica, the new green in spring, the verdure in summer, the golden color in autumn, and the silver cover in winter. It is said that Populus euphratica has three thousand years, it will not die for a thousand years after it grows, and it will not fall for a thousand years after it dies. It will not die for a thousand years. Populus euphratica can survive for three thousand years, or even longer.
The spirit of Populus euphratica is to live with all your strength as long as it is alive. It can sink its roots to a depth of 10 meters underground. It absorbs water and supplies its own survival. Even if there is a chance of growth, seedlings will sprout from the roots. When there is no water, it will dry up. When all the branches have withered, it still tries hard not to fall down, because it still Full of expectations, looking forward to the emergence of miracles, looking forward to the day when water is supplied to it, it will once again let green dress up the lonely desert Gobi, so there is a thousand years of waiting, a thousand years of eagerness. When the tree body dries up When they have to fall down, they try to keep the water-absorbing bark close to the barren and water-less beach, and wait persistently for the hope of survival, because the bark has water, and when the Gobi desert absorbs it, With all the water, it can prevent itself from rotting, and when a miracle occurs, it can absorb as much water as possible through the bark, allowing itself to take root again and become new green.
I have seen the trees on the Gobi Desert. Populus euphratica will bring you a lot of shocks, shocked by Populus euphratica's persistence in life, shocked by Populus euphratica's tenacity and tenacity to make the desert Gobi infinitely vibrant; shocked by Populus euphratica's loneliness and loneliness, clinging to the belief that has not changed for thousands of years; I was shocked that Populus euphratica expressed its determination to never give up with its tenacious will.

Populus euphratica's persistence, tenacity, tenacity, unyielding, Can’t faith and will bring us enlightenment?
