How-to China: Tree-planters turn barren mountains green

Q: How have you inspired others around you?

Li: My wife and I have donated more than 4 million yuan worth of green saplings to the banner over the years. We have also put our many years of experience in planting trees in a manual to share with the villagers, to encourage others to take up afforestation.

Q: What are you looking forward to most?

Li: Where there is life, plant more trees. Now my biggest wish is everyone plants a few trees every year. I firmly believe if one person plants a tree, the desert will eventually become an oasis.
