　　In Hebei Province lies a vast forest.This Green Great Wall reduces sandstorms greatly.But about 60 years ago,there was only one tree on this desert.Without it,there would have been no Saihanba.

　　Saihanba is a combination of Chinese and Mongolian,meaning “beautiful highlands”.Until the Qing Dynasty,it was a royal hunting land because of its cool weather in summer.However,the area turned into a desert at the end of the Qing Dynasty due to forest fires.

　　Over 350 foresters were first sent to this area to fight with the desert as early as the 1960s.Their duty was to rebuild a forest in Saihanba,but nobody knew if the goal was realistic.

　　It was not until they found a 200-year-old tree,swaying alone in the wind,that their hope in their mission was raised.If one tree can survive here,so can millions of trees.After decades of hard work,the barren land is now a vast forest.

　　Recently,the foresters working the land have received a UN environment award for their great contributions to a greener world.The award actually belongs to all the three generations of hard-working foresters.
