Less than 10 square meter, there is a small window facing south, under which is a heatable adobe sleeping platform, in front of which there is a TV set of more than ten inches. This is the cave where Yuan Keliang lived for 35 years. The reporter saw that there were several water cellars in the courtyard outside the cave, which were used to collect rainwater and filter it for cooking. Yuan Keliang said, "People live their hearts and trees live their roots". He takes good care of every tree and every seed. On one occasion, Yuan Keliang worked hard to cultivate 100 mu of seedlings of Sophora japonica and Robinia pseudoacacia, which were eaten up by sheep. The neat nursery base is a mess, and the joy of expectation disappears in an instant. He is always strong, but he is ill. However, as soon as he got up from his sickbed, he began to get up early and get greedy for the dark again, collecting seeds, raising seedlings and planting trees ... In the interview, Yuan Keliang read his tree planting experience to reporters from time to time, such as "planting trees first, then raising seedlings", "harnessing mountains, you have to control water", "planting trees for ten years a year" and "spring seeds germinate, autumn seeds first".
Yuan Yuan Bing, the third son of Yuan Keliang, is now an excellent entrepreneur. Under the influence of his father, Yuan was keen on greening since childhood. In order to support his father, for decades, he invested 3 million yuan in the greening of Muyun Mountain, where he struggled with his father all the year round. Yuan's company has an unwritten rule that employees should go to Muyun Mountain to plant trees and protect forests many times every year.
Under the influence of Yuan Keliang's dedication to his post, all walks of life have joined the team of greening Sunset Mountain. On March 23rd, when interviewing Yuan Keliang, the reporter met the students from the 29th District Team of north university of china National Defense Students. They filled the reservoir with water in plastic buckets, and then went up the hill to water the trees. Zhang Lei, a student from north university of china, told reporters that under the encouragement of Yuan Keliang's foolish spirit, several groups of volunteers come to Muyun Mountain in north university of china every year to plant trees and help take care of the lives of the elderly. Yuan Keliang happily told reporters that it is the season of planting trees, and volunteers contact him every day, asking people who volunteer to plant trees in Muyun Mountain to fill their schedules.
On the way into the mountain, the reporter saw trees planted by all walks of life. Monuments such as "Yellow River Forest", "Taiyuan Experimental Primary School Forest" and "No.37 Middle Forest" are erected beside these forests.
"Plant another 20,000 trees in your lifetime."
After 35 years of greening, the once barren Muyun Mountain is now full of flowers and fruitful results. According to statistics, there are now more than 50 kinds of trees in Muyun Mountain, with nearly 6.5438+0.5 million trees, and the forest coverage rate is over 80%. Most of the trees planted by Yuan Keliang, such as pine trees, Yang Huai trees and elms, turned into forests, which not only built a green barrier for Xishan area of Taiyuan City, but also set a good example for returning farmland to forests in Sanjin, making Muyun Mountain the best preserved ecological park in Shanxi Province. Muyun Mountain was also named as a patriotic education base by Shanxi Provincial Party Committee and provincial government, and a youth education base by Taiyuan Municipal Committee of the Communist Youth League. Yuan Keliang, who created this miracle, was rated as "Taiyuan Super Model Worker" and "Excellent party member". On Muyun Mountain, 84-year-old Yuan Keliang is still busy, pruning, replanting and killing insects. ...
In spring and March, everything recovers. Looking at the wild flowers and budding trees all over the mountains, Yuan Keliang, who is already full of silver hair, told reporters: "I can't live without Muyun Mountain. In my lifetime, I will plant another 20,000 pear trees, persimmon trees and black dates. The greening target is 4,000 mu, and Muyun Mountain will be turned into a modern ecological park integrating planting, breeding, processing and tourism. "
"Plant trees alive and see the mountains after death." At the end of the interview, Yuan Keliang told reporters that he had another wish. After so many years of greening, Muyun Mountain has become a green lung in the Xishan area of Taiyuan City. The air here is fresh all year round, which is good for the elderly. He wants to build a nursing home here in his lifetime. The name of the nursing home is Happiness Garden.
