People's network comprehensive elimination One of the two Chinese peasants has won the praise of CNN in a recent article. "The article in the WeChat circle of WeChat is widely forwarded, in Jingxing County of Hebei province smelter village, two more than 50 year old disabled good friends Jia Haixia, Jia Wenqi support each other, in 15 years of time planting thousands of trees, hard is the old desolate barren beach into a dense jungle. A short film made by the CNN CNN's GBS studio, which is made for the theme, played millions of people on the Facebook, Youtube and other platforms.
back in 2000, Jia Haixia, who had been the top pillar of the family, had lost his eyes because of working out and lost his ability to work.
Jia Haixia's young Jia Wenqi, who was 3 years old, lost his arms because of electric shock. He often comforted Jia Haixia and led him out of frustration and frustration. In the age of
2001, the old couple suddenly decided to make a contract for planting more than 50 mu of river banks in the village. The village committee was very happy to hear the news and immediately signed a formal contract without any money.
although it is not necessary to contract land, money is needed to buy seedlings. The two poor people who lived in poverty thought of using the most primitive cuttings to grow poplars and willows that were easy to survive.
, so the first thing they do every day is cutting branches and planting them on the deserted banks on the other side of the river.
at this time, Jia Wenqi without arms will skillfully help the blind Jia Haixia climb a big tree, and what can't see Jia Haixia can stand on a big tree. Cut down the branches of the tree.
"we didn't feel that we were the disabled at all!"
every time Jia Wenqi takes Jia Haixia across the river, he runs back to the river by himself.
sometimes the rushing water, plus slippery stones, walking in the water, Jia Wenqi is particularly prone to fall, and his legs are full of scars.
land on the banks of the river is full of stones. It is very hard to plug the seedlings.
other people grow trees with pick and spade. They can only use steel drill and hammer.
but the reality is cruel. Due to lack of water, the first two years of the two brothers worked hard to transplant 800 seedlings, and only 2 survived.
after eating this lesson, the old brother found a good way to tap water: Jia Wenqi could now have a hook with a stick with a plastic bucket on his neck, and a bucket of water from a nearby stream...
the elder brothers can not avoid having trouble, but never delay planting trees.
"during the cold war, we did not speak, but the tree continued to grow. As long as I had one hand, he knew what I wanted." Jia Haixia, who was blind, said. After
15, tens of thousands of trees grew up on the barren beach. Someone has calculated an economic account for them. If they sell all the trees, they will earn 500 thousand.
the elder brother has been subsistence allowances and handicapped subsidies, with an annual income of only more than 2000 yuan. But in the face of enormous pressure of life, neither brother nor his father had ever sold a tree.
"we can't afford to chop down now. The saplings are just like their own sons. We grow up feeling their heads."
"for the sake of the environment for future generations, although we have more difficulties in life and economy, we are very thankful."
the two old men decided not to chop a tree, leaving the forest that just grew up. They want to grow some economic forests in the remaining acres of open space, which can not only greet wasteland, but also generate more income.
