CHENGDE, July 11 (Xinhua) -- In summer, the Saihanba mechanized forest farm in north China's Hebei Province is draped in lush, vibrant greenery.
Saihanba, once a barren wasteland of sandstorms, now boasts a forest coverage rate of over 80 percent, thanks to three generations of dedicated effort, starting with some 300 foresters plowing in harsh weather with the simplest tools. This green paradise conserves 137 million cubic meters of water annually, a testament to how tenacity transforms the ecological system.
