Due to perennial water shortage in desert, desert desertification, drought and lack of rain, vegetation destruction, wind erosion, running water erosion, soil salinization and other factors, large-scale soil productivity is reduced or lost. China is one of the countries with the most serious desertification in the world, and we have not given up control. Not only the country will visit desert control, but also a group of great people who have stayed in the desert for decades just for desert control.
Today, I want to tell you about this sand control man, who is called the most stubborn tree planter in the depths of the desert. At the age of 20, he has changed 8000 mu of sand sea in the desert! In Tengger Desert, this tree planter used his 20 years of youth to add 8,000 mu of green to a place that was originally full of yellow sand at first glance!
Wang Yinji, a 5 1 year-old sand control man, has been "struggling" with Huangsha every day for 20 years, so Wang Yinji looks a little older than his peers!
In order to control desertification, it sold all its livestock and spent all its money on buying saplings. At first, Wang Yinji and his father herded sheep every day and found that there was not enough grass on the ground to feed them. So he thought of selling all the livestock in the family to buy saplings. Because of his relationship with trees since childhood, Wang Yinji found that he was not very interested in grazing, but he was more passionate than planting trees, and his sand control career began!
Because of sand control, he wants to protect the trees he planted, so his home is particularly shabby, just a cave, just to be closer to the desert. Even though his family paid for a better house, he chose to live in a house near the desert!
Because the desert is an extremely water-deficient place, it is impossible to plant trees with high water absorption. At first, I didn't know that Wang Yinji planted poplars with high water absorption. Later, it was found that it was not suitable for planting in the desert, so Wang Yinji reluctantly cut down his own poplar, which was the most regrettable thing in Wang Yinji's sand control.
Fortunately, many things happen. With his perseverance, Wang Yinji changed the sand sea 8000 years ago. For Wang Yinji, planting trees is also a very regrettable thing. Because of his obsession with planting trees, his youngest son fell ill and missed the best treatment time, so he died unfortunately in 2005. Now Wang Yinji has taken his son's wish to plant trees.
I really admire such a great sand control person! In order not to let everyone be "swallowed up" by the desert, they gave up their lives and planted trees day after day!
