Saihanba people like to say "forest".
Pointing to a small forest, they would say, "This 'forest' is all spruces," or, "That 'forest,' which I watched grow."
The "forest" in their minds is elastic, far or near, big or small.
The entire forest farm, with a forest area of 1.12 million mu, is also a "forest" in the people of Saihanba. For example, they say, "Our 'forest' is very special, and the rape flowers bloom just right in July."
Interestingly, many Saihanba people are also affectionately shouted "forest".
Si Tielin, Li Zhenlin, Yu Ruilin, Zhang Lin, Liu Qinglin, Gu Qinglin, Meng Qinglin, Wang Shulin, Yang Guolin, Jiang Qinglin, Li Qinglin, Zhang Qinglin, Li Zhanlin, Sun Zhanlin, Sun Jianlin, Zhang Jianlin, Zhang Yulin, Dou Baolin, Li Dalin, Li Fenglin, Liu Fenglin, Lu Ailin, Mu Xiulin, Lu Delin, Wu Delin, Shao Helin, Sun Youlin, Yan Xiaolin, Zhang Xiaolin...
These Saihanba people, some of whom originally had the word "forest" in their names, came to Saihanba and became foresters, continuing their fate with trees and forests. Some belong to the "second generation of Lin", and the fathers invariably "took local materials" and gave their names the mark of "Linzi".
The same "forest", the same green, the same home. The relationship map between people and trees, the evolution trajectory of the relationship between humans and the environment, and the sublimation process of Chinese environmental awareness and ecological concepts are vivid and clear in the "forest" of Saihanba.
A "forest" that witnessed historical changes sighed at the loneliness of the dynasty and played the strong sound of the nation
Beijingers, looking northeast, are on the dam.
"Saihanba", a combination of Mongolian and Chinese, means "beautiful high ridge". Once the center of the Mulan paddock of the Qing Dynasty, mainly used for "Wu Wu, Sui Fan, hunting", the Qing court was at its peak almost every autumn to hold a huge ceremony, and included in the national canon, that is, "Mulan Autumn Fox".
How beautiful was the "beautiful high ridge" at that time?
The "Chronicle of the Paddock Hall" records that in this area, "larch trees were forested, looking like a line, riding ants, and people and horses, not enough to imitate."
A good "inch of people and beans", just like modern people when flying at high altitude through the porthole overlooking the earth, enjoying the vastness between heaven and earth.
Kangxi stood on the ground and sang a lot of songs to this side of the water and soil, "... Deer sing autumn grass is flourishing, people like chrysanthemums. The Sun Twilight Palace is near, and the wind is high and the heat is hidden."
Now, Saihan Dam has a bright soldier platform. A boulder bulged in the air, shaped like a Crouching Tiger. Legend has it that when the Battle of UlanButong was won, Kangxi came to this place to review the triumphant Qing generals. I can't imagine what kind of waves Kangxi had in his heart at that time.
He also has a poem "Sai Wai Even Narrative": "The water surrounds the Circumference, and the original high crowd is surrounded by curtains." ”
Qianlong continued to write "Out of the Plugs and Miscellaneous Songs": "The favorite Maple Forest is like dyeing, fold the inscription and hand-written book." ”
Jiaqing followed the wind to a song "SaiShan Xing": "The autumn wind hunts and blows the mountain clouds, and the qi peak raises the forest and trees." Mingxia's five colors show off to each other, and it is difficult to write Lan Dai. ”
Obviously, I know that it is difficult to write, and I still have to be the scalp, all because the scene in front of me makes people feel uneasy.
The emperor is keen to borrow pens to express his feelings, and others are not idle.
Huang Yu's "Mulan Chronicle" sees Qingya: "Vanilla is plump and three feet to win, according to the saddle like stepping on the green wave." Blame it for the lack of horse ears and double tips, as the sound of spring river wind and rain. ”
Lu Yuanxiu's "Plugged in the Night Seat" is a natural sound, "the sound of loose into the night is often suspicious of rain, and the insects are accustomed to approaching people in autumn".
Zhao Yi is a sincere person, there are not so many words and exquisite, a sentence "Magnolia grass is the fattest, feeding horses without beans", directly brought out the style of the Mulan paddock at that time.
Time is like a knife, forcibly cutting off the glory that continues. In 1824, the fourth year of Daoguang, Mulan Qiuhu's family law of "all ages should be observed" was categorically abolished. The stormy Qing Dynasty could no longer care about what "deer singing" and "chrysanthemums", what "vanilla" and "pine sounds", but instead looked at the tiger and regarded this place as a piece of fat.
During the Tongzhi period, there was a voice to "recruit tenants nearby, and it is still enough to help the soldiers and pay themselves." During the Guangxu years, he was still worried about "whether the Rehe Enclosure Mu could make the Jingqi people move to farming", and later said directly, "Reclaiming the paddocks through military salaries is actually a good strategy for the soldiers to live with the people."
Rehe Du Tong Chongqi was weeping blood and daring to play, "The trees are empty, and the livestock are scattered... When will the trees grow? When will livestock stop? Empty enclosure, what is the use of it? ”
The general trend has gone, and even the most precious voice is like grass mustard.
Flocks of towering trees trembled, were uprooted and transported away.
The green grass was arbitrarily cut off, "the spring wind does not blow", and it is far away.
The mountain fire burned, whistling, crackling, leaving a wisp of green smoke in the air, drifting away.
The bandits came, utterly brutal, and fled.
The green building collapsed violently, the wind and sand came, lived, and did not go.
Time is inch by inch, and the wind and sand are swallowed in one bite. The wind and sand swirl here, flying in the sky, and the mountains are roaring and tsunamis. The result is that "birds have no perch trees, and yellow sand shades the sky".
A dynasty leaves a lonely back.
All glory returns to "zero" and quickly falls into the abyss of "negative".
The poet said: The first dead cell of the Qing Dynasty was born in the abandonment of the Mulan yard.
And the new beginning of an era is also implicit in the gaze of attention cast on the Mulan paddock.
Windswept sand and lawlessness, the young republic is determined to govern.
In October 1961, Liu Kun, then deputy director of the State-owned Forest farm management bureau of the Ministry of Forestry, was ordered to lead a team to Saihanba to investigate. Who knows, "Beautiful Gaoling" gave him a dismount in an ironic way, "How to say it, I later wrote a few poems, 'Dust and sand flying and rock rolling, no forest, no grass, no cattle and sheep'." ”
It can be imagined how desperate Liu Kun and his companions were at that time.
The only remaining stubborn larch tree in the eastern wasteland gave their party a ray of hope, "This pine tree is at least 150 years old. This is a living specimen that proves that saihan dam can grow towering trees. If there is a pine today, there will be billions of pines tomorrow."
Today, this "tree of merit" is still proud of the wind and frost. It is not tall or stout, but it is generous, refreshing, and imbued with unassailable solemnity and majesty.
This tree, more than a meter from the root, began to divide, and it felt like two trees were growing upwards. Chen Zhiqing, deputy director of the Saihanba Mechanical Forestry Farm, said that a tree grows into two trees, which is likely to be too harsh, the wind and snow have scraped off the main trunk, and the nutrition has let the side branches separate. There is also the age, no one to take care of, the general forest management to cut the side branches.
"I am proud, I am a tree,
…………
Strips of light, dewdrops,
Give me a beautiful heart;
The sun is raging, the wind and snow are vast,
Forged the character of my struggle;
I hugged —
The atmosphere of freedom and the wind of freedom,
In me, will, strength and ideals,
Tight, tight fusion. ”
The poet Li Ying's sentence seems to be a "biography" written specifically for this tree.
This tree is calling to mankind: here, there is still hope. Here, there is the future.
In 1962, graduates from 18 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities, 24 colleges and universities, and cadres and workers from surrounding areas formed a construction army of 369 people, with great ambition, stationed in Saihanba, and vowed to rearrange the mountains, rivers and land.
Nature, which has encountered cruel treatment by human beings, has put up a posture of "shop bullying".
Temperatures play "bungee jumping" here, with an extreme maximum of 33.4 degrees Celsius, a minimum of minus 43.3 degrees Celsius, and an average annual temperature of minus 1.3 degrees Celsius. The wind blows only once a year, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. Snow is a regular resident here, with an average of 7 months of snow per year, with the latest snowfall recorded on August 26 and the earliest on June 10. Spring in the true sense is not passed by the sky, let alone by the month, but may be by the hour.
The Saihanba people "insist that the barren mountains will not relax." Planting trees has become a strong melody in their hearts.
Planting trees and planting trees, they have no distractions. Planting trees and planting trees, they have suffered thousands of pounds, suffered all kinds of tiredness, unswerving, unambiguous. Planting trees and planting trees, they do not hesitate to take the long future of future generations.
Planting trees and planting trees, this loud slogan, Saihanba people have been shouting in their hearts for 55 years. The melody seems flat and the rhythm seems monotonous, but it erases the insurmountable distance between the desert and the forest. Planting trees and planting trees, Saihanba finally climbed up from the abyss of "negative" and stood up in a "positive" posture.
"Thousands of miles of blue sky and white clouds, green fields and flowers without end." If you ask why the flower blossoms undefeated, the more the hero starts a business. "The writer Wei Wei once set foot here and left a poem. As we all know, he has a masterpiece called "Who is the Cutest Man".
Saihanba people, also lovely people. They did not have earth-shattering rhetoric, but they did a great deed that shook the earth.
Today's Saihan Dam, the forest coverage rate has increased from 12% in the early days of the establishment of the forest farm to 80%, and the forest accumulation has increased from 330,000 cubic meters to 10.12 million cubic meters, which is fully worthy of a "green aircraft carrier" and a "green bank".
Today's Saihan Dam is a wall, a wall that resists the wind and sand; a sea of greenery, a sea of greenery.
Once upon a time, the beauty of the Saihan Dam was "beyond the reach of manpower." Today, the beauty of the Saihan Dam "is truly what man can do." It is the manpower that makes Saihan Dam dying. It is also manpower that resurrects Saihanba with blood. Between people, the vicissitudes of the years are traversed, and they witness the strides of an era.
A "forest" containing ecological ideas, the annual rings of the new era are denser and stronger
"A pine in the boundless wilderness, standing tall in the sky." Thunder may hurt branches and leaves, why did Zhuangzhi ever move a bit? Tian Yongfang, a poet from the forestry system, sang and sighed at the "meritorious tree" of Saihanba.
This larch tree records the growth process of the vast forest sea of Saihanba from scratch, from small to large, from weak to strong. Trees have annual rings. The imprints of time, carved in the concentric lines of the trunk layer after layer, represent the progress of time and the changes of the world. And these 5 years of annual rings, must be more dense and stronger. The annual ring of these 5 years also shows once again: the Saihan Dam is a Saihan Dam with roots, and the "forest" of the Saihan Dam is a "forest" with roots.
This "root" related to ecological concept and ecological thought is deeply rooted in the consciousness of saihanba people.
The people of Saihanba know too well how this "forest" came from and what it means.
At that time, people "cleverly grabbed" the Mulan paddock of "thousands of miles of red leaves and even xiafei". Unbridled demand triggers a frenzied revenge of nature. When the Saihanba people approached again, nature did not obey, let alone yield, but continued to solve problems, testing human endurance and determination.
In 1962, 369 Saihanba people planted 1,000 acres of saplings, but the survival rate was less than 5%. In the spring of the following year, another 1240 acres of forest were planted, and the survival rate increased by only 3 percentage points.
Nature is unceremonious. The confidence of the Saihanba people suddenly dropped to the freezing point.
In October 1977, a rare "rain blaze" disaster hit saihan dam, affecting an area of 570,000 mu, "a 3-meter-high larch tree, hanging ice weighing 500 pounds."
Nature doesn't want to "just grab it."
In less than three years, nature has once again "sneaked in", causing trees in the growing stage to suffer drought for more than 3 months, and 126,000 acres of larch have fallen sadly.
The Saihanba people have repeatedly lost battles, and each time they have regrouped, competed with nature, and consulted.
Human beings treat each other with kindness, and nature respects them.
In these 10 years, compared with the first 10 years of construction, the average annual frost-free period in Saihan Dam and the surrounding areas increased by 12 days, the average annual precipitation increased by 50 mm, and the number of windy days decreased by 30 days. Nature adjusted the microclimate of the region and gave a big gift to the Saihanba people.
From revenge to stalemate to friendship, between nature and the Saihanba people, a variation of the relationship between humans and nature is interpreted. Nature and the Saihanba people hand in hand to tell each other: human beings and the environment have and only friendly coexistence, true "sisterly love" and "brothers are good", in order to have a better future.
The thinking of "relying on mountains to eat mountains and relying on water to draft water" is not without impact on the people of Saihanba. If you plant trees, you should "eat trees"; green is basically synonymous with poverty, backwardness, and closure; if you live a life, you should pay a "big salary" and live a "big life". In addition, the total value of forest resources in Saihanba is more than 20 billion yuan, which is a squandering capital. But the Saihanba people still resolutely suppressed these ideas.
Due to climatic restrictions, the trees of SaihanBa have a full growth period of about two months per year. The trees of Saihan Dam are dormant, but the people of Saihan Dam have given up "cat winter" in their minds. New ideas and new ideas lead the saihanba people to take a more stable step and go further.
The vast forest sea was silent, but with great strength to support a new heaven.
"Over the years, I have felt more and more that the status of flowers and trees, air, water and green has risen." Yu Shitao, director of the thousand-layer board sub-field of the Saihanba Mechanical Forest Farm, said.
"I conclude that what I do in forestry is to watch the sky eat and see god's face. What we do and do, God has the final say. People still have to be honest, don't always think about working against nature. Zhang Limin, director of the Saihanba North Mandian branch, said.
"Green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains." "The environment is the people's livelihood, the green mountains are beautiful, and the blue sky is also happiness." The Saihanba people erected placards in a prominent position in the forest, vowing to keep the instructions in mind.
"Life embraces green, and human beings coexist with nature." "Everyone loves the environment, and the environment cares for everyone." "Human beings rely on the environment to survive, and the environment depends on human protection." "Protecting the environment is a responsibility, and caring for the environment is a virtue." "Beautify the green mountains with sweat, and create a home with love." "Your care makes me beautiful." "Let human beings wander happily in nature, and let birds soar freely in the sky." "Pursue green fashion and embrace green life." These placards are scattered around the Saihanba forest farm.
Caring for nature and protecting the environment, Saihanba people stand in the forefront.
"Everyone says' that 'the predecessors planted trees, and the posterity cooled down'. But this 'cool' is not so good to 'multiply', it is to 'thunder'. After the 80s, Yu Shitao is a "new dam", and he has become the backbone of the forest farm, and he understands more and more the weight of "three points, seven points" in the mouth of his predecessors.
This "forest" is the life of the Saihanba people. Protecting this "forest" is the first appeal in the depths of the soul of the Saihanba people.
Protecting protection protects, they do everything in their power. Protect protection Protection, they ignore temptation. Protection Protection Protection, they are one step ahead in action.
Saihanba has a seven-star lake, a wetland area of 1 million square meters surrounded by mountains, and natural lakes of different sizes and shapes are distributed, just like the Big Dipper in the sky.
Many people ignore the full name of this Seven Star Lake as "Seven Star Lake False Sage Grass Wetland Park".
Chen Zhiqing said that false sagewort is commonly found below 1100 meters above sea level, while the Qixing Lake Wetland Park at an altitude of about 1500 meters grows well, which is rare and has rich scientific research and ornamental value.
Therefore, the Saihanba people, with respect, named a scenic spot in the name of a grass.
Grass is alive, and so are trees. The things of life are always sick. How to treat the forest, saihanba people have their own way.
Guo Zhifeng, director of the forest disease and pest control and quarantine station of the forest farm, said that for the prevention and control of forest diseases and insect pests, Saihanba has a general principle: it can control the forest itself, without human intervention; it can be controlled in a small area, and it is possible to take natural enemies and physical prevention and control without chemical agents.
"The purpose is to minimize environmental pollution, maximize the protection of non-prevention and control objects, promote the formation of a self-control mechanism in forests, and maintain ecological balance." Guo Zhifeng means that if "Lin Zi" can solve it on its own, let it do it itself.
For the matter of fire prevention, the Saihanba people are firmly in their hands and do not give up for a moment, "The forest is like a thousand treasures, and the resources and wealth are hidden inside." If fire prevention is not heavy, it will be rich soil and poor soil."
Wu Song, director of the Forest Farm Fire Prevention Office, informed that the assessment method for fire prevention in saihanba forest farm is quantitative, and the "percentage system" is adopted, and each point is landed, very clear and operable.
For example, random spot checks found that the ranger's patrol system mobile phone was artificially damaged or lost, and each one was deducted 0.1 points; 1 point was deducted for each special broadcasting equipment for fire prevention propaganda; during the critical period of fire protection, the leaders in charge of each forest farm were deducted 0.5 points each time; the individual equipment of professional firefighters, including firefighting suits, helmets, gloves, fire-fighting boots, shoulder bags, kettles, towels, goggles, first aid kits, flashlights, missing a deduction of 0.1 points.
The point is that all the way down, more than 90 points to reach the standard.
Once the standard is not up to standard, well, followed by a long list of punishment measures, hard and hard, without mercy.
The system is on the top, there are rules to follow, clear and clear, and there is no room for any flukes and slackness.
In this way, the Saihanba people themselves chanted the "tightening mantra" to themselves in fire prevention, over and over again, year after year.
In this fire prevention "percentage system" quantitative assessment method, a major item is "resource management", which makes it clear that once livestock are found to enter the young forest land, including the discovery of livestock manure, 0.2 points are deducted each time.
At that time, the Saihan Dam that Liu Kun saw was "no forest, no grass, no cattle and sheep" because the cattle and sheep did not come. Today's Saihan Dam does not allow cattle and sheep to come. Therefore, the current Saihan Dam, "the sky is clear, the wild is vast, the wind and grass are low, and it is difficult to see cattle and sheep."
Insect prevention, fire prevention, and grazing ban, in order to protect this forest sea, the Saihanba people showed a set of combination fists.
But they are not satisfied with "defending", but also "attacking".
The "best trick" of the Saihanba people is to see the seam and insert green, and to see the empty plant green. In these five years, they began to ask for green from the stones.
After several generations of hard work, the places where Saihan Dam can plant trees are basically occupied by green, "the meat is eaten", and the better "bones" are also gnawed. To say that the green in Saihan Dam has become saturated. But saihanba people do not shy away from short, because there are still "hard bones".
Some stony slopes, the soil layer is thin, the rock is exposed, the location is remote, the construction is difficult, and some slopes even reach 46 degrees. Saihanba people say that there is no blind spot in green, and green should be thorough. Since iron trees can blossom, trees can naturally be planted on stones.
They named this project "Attacking Fortifications and Afforestation", which is completely a position of advancing to the depths of reform.
How to do land preparation? "Along the contour line, the use of artificial cave-like land preparation, the cave surface specifications are 70 cm long× 70 cm wide× 30 cm deep, which is greater than the conventional land preparation specifications, and the 'pin' glyph configuration is adopted to effectively intercept surface runoff."
What are the requirements for tree species selection? "With the drought-resistant sassafras pine and oil pine container seedlings as the main planting species", the seedling age is between three or four years, and the height of the seedling is controlled at 20 cm to 30 cm.
There is also a special tip, "After the completion of seedling planting for 1 week, carry out the second steadfastness, fully achieve the dense connection of root soil, and prevent ventilation and water loss."
These contents are excerpted from the paper "Successful Experience and Reflections on Afforestation in Saihanba Forest Farm", by Si Hongtu, from the third township of Saihanba.
The afforestation and management of saihan dam has always been a "singing drama" by scientific research forces. A group of intellectuals are willing to observe the tree, study the tree, and discover the tree here.
In the past five years, Saihanba has completed five research projects, including "Research on the Cultivation Technology of Large-diameter Grade Timber in The Plantation of Larch Plantation in North China in the Upper Region of The Dam" and "Research on the Biodiversity of Saihanba Nature Reserve", carried out 4 collaborative studies such as "Research on the Key Technologies for efficient Cultivation and Management of Oil Pine and North China Larch", "Research on the Sustainable Management Technology of Typical Forest Types in The Soil and Stone Mountains of North China", and reviewed and passed 3 local technical standards, such as "Technical Regulations for the Prevention and Control of White-haired Bark Elephants in Hebei Province" and "Technical Regulations for the Care of Sassafras Pine Plantations in Hebei Province".
The 659 species of plants in Saihan Dam were also included in the research horizon. "Among endemic plants, the light calyx hawthorn is a newly discovered hardy and drought-tolerant species that preserves good genetic heritability." The "Saihanba Forest Plant Atlas" records.
Landscape photographer Jiang Ping measured the grass and trees of SaihanBa from an artistic perspective, "between the undulating hills are patches of grassland and lakes, dazzling birch trees in the morning light, cattle and sheep grazing at sunset and rape flowers that are briefly before the autumn wind, which constitute the typical geomorphological characteristics of Saihan Dam and the beautiful scenery outside Saihanba." This natural condition is very suitable for photographic creation."
His published album "Analysis of Landscape Photography: Saihan Dam", taking the scenery of Saihan Dam as an example, tells about the A and B propylene related to landscape photography.
Saihan Dam can withstand 360-degree global research and scrutiny, and the most fundamental thing is that new ecological ideas are laid in conservation.
The road of Saihanba is a road to sowing green seeds, a road to defending green, and a road to the future led by the concept of green development.
This is the "root" of the Saihan Dam.
A "forest" full of spiritual energy grows towards the magnificent sky
"A true friend of a pine and a bamboo, a good brother of the mountain bird and mountain flower."
Walking in the Saihanba Forest Sea, eyes and ears, body and heart, can be completely entrusted, not fortified.
Boundless, endless green, fresh, elegant, magnificent, bright, reassuring, with upward traction.
Think of the source of drinking water, think of people when you see things.
Saihan Dam has a piece of "Shanghai Memorial Forest". A neat and verdant "forest" is inscribed with the exploits of the founding fathers represented by Wang Shanghai, the first party secretary of the forest farm.
In the initial period of forest farm construction, difficulties piled up. In order to stabilize the hearts of the army, Wang Shanghai stomped his feet and moved his family from Chengde to The Dam. Zhang Qien, deputy director of the field, former engineer of the Afforestation Department of the Ministry of Forestry and a graduate of Peking University, persuaded his lover to bid farewell to the capital and raise his family to the dam.
Yan Zhao dadi once again sounded the sad song of "the heroes are gone and never returned".
The song of sorrow is sung, and it immediately turns into loneliness. Boundless loneliness is always the "enemy" of Saihanba.
Yin Guizhi, 73 years old, adhering to the belief that "the needs of the motherland is my will" at the age of 18, came to Saihanba, "there is no work to do, then find a job to do, why do you have to go forward." Zhang Sheng, an 80-year-old "old dam", also said: "At that time, it was up to who could do it." Whoever can do it will compete with whomever they want. Better than dry, hard! ”
To dissolve the loneliness during the day, find a job to do, and settle the loneliness at night to artificially create a sound.
"Young people don't have any activities, go up the mountain to participate in production and come back, basically stay in the dormitory, read books." It was too stuffy, so I shouted twice, sang a few words, and knocked on the washbasin. That's it. Li Xin, a technician at the beginning of the construction of the farm, said.
After 55 years, loneliness is still difficult to dispel.
Saihanba has a number of fire towers in remote areas, generally couples live all year round, observing the fire, known as the "eyes of the forest".
The Yinhe Branch Field where Liu Jun and Qi Shuyan were stationed was the Wanghuo Tower in the Forest Area of the Liangbingtai Camp, which was the commanding height of the entire Saihanba Forest Farm. Looking up, the vast forest and sea can be seen from the bottom of the eyes, and it is specially named "Wanghai Lou". It is an hour's drive from the forest farm station, and along the way, in addition to trees, there are trees, and occasionally seeing a figure makes people feel warm and happy.
Their task is to ascend every 15 minutes to see if there is smoke around them. For this job, no news is the best news. In this almost isolated place, the two lived for 11 years, and "the quarrel was over." Liu Jun, who was originally quiet in temperament, laughed and was also a "slow motion".
It was really "panicked", Liu Jun saw CCTV broadcasting the program "Learning Chinese Painting with Xu Zhan", and suddenly became interested, "thinking" about then learning to paint.
Liu Jun, who dropped out of school in the first grade of junior high school, found a hobby for himself in middle age. While learning to draw, while painting and learning, he felt that it was not so difficult, "You see, draw a pine branch, take a brush and poke it on the paper, and it will come out."
He painted "Enjoying Autumn", "A Panoramic View of the Mountains", "Spring River Plumbing", "Squirrel Blessing", "Longevity Chart", "Hundred Fortune Gathering Map", and one, two cats, wide-eyed, ears up, fully engrossed, snuggling up with each other. Liu Jun called it "Watchman".
"Watch" is the key word in the life of contemporary Saihanba people.
They were watching the breath of saihan dam. In the words of the writer Quartz, the entire Saihan Dam exudes "a refreshing, aromatic, sweet and slightly sour atmosphere that makes people sober and promote people upwards."
They were watching the green of the Saihan Dam. In the words of editor Cui Daoyi, the green of Saihanba is "turquoise, emerald green, tender green, oil green", "full of fat and water, full of the primary color of life".
They were watching over the beauty of saihan dam. In the words of photographer Li Yingjie, the natural beauty of Saihanba "interprets all the eternity, vastness, vastness, harmony and power of the world, is the beauty of the original ecology, is the true natural beauty."
Watching and watching, they grew into towering trees in an upright posture.
Standing in front of the larch tree, which is known as the "meritorious tree", the verses of Mr. Li Ying once again echoed in the ears:
I am part of the vast field, part of nature,
Me and beauty are one and the same, inseparable;
I belong to the people, I belong to history,
I long for the whole world
All as our common motherland. ”
You can clearly perceive that the "I" here is not only a tree, but also a million acres of forest sea of Saihan Dam, and it is also a Saihan Dam person who creates and inherits the spirit of Saihan Dam.
Watching over watch, they practiced the optimism of the "Saihan Dam style".
"It doesn't matter if three meals a day are tasteless or tasteless, and it doesn't matter if you climb the ice and lie in the snow and are tired and tired." This is the couplet drawn up by the Saihanba people of that year, horizontal batch: aiming at Lin Hai.
The modern Saihanba people are optimistic about the situation and do not lose to their predecessors.
Due to their long-term work and life at an altitude of 1010 to 1940 meters above sea level, the skin of saihanba people is darker. They laugh at themselves as "black eggs", "black briquettes", and "black potatoes".
In turn, they sometimes "pretend" to be a cultural person, claiming to be a "Lin Family Shop".
Watch and watch, they are a group of people who are dedicated to making "oxygen".
The data shows that the Saihan Dam releases 545,000 tons of oxygen per year, which can be used by 1.99 million people for a full year.
The "forest" of Saihanba is releasing the "oxygen" of the spirit.
Because of this "forest", the afforestation and greening of Chengde City, Hebei Province, where the forest farm is located, has entered the "acceleration" runway, with a forest area of 33.9 million mu in the city, a forest coverage rate of more than 56%, and 25 Saihan dams have been reconstructed.
Because of the inspiration of this "forest", more people enjoy a visionary lifestyle.
Liu Guo is a ranger in the Sidaogou Camp Forest Area of the North Mandian Branch of Saihanba. His task, like the song "The King Told Me to Patrol the Mountains," was to carry out fire prevention propaganda along the way, detain all fires, and check whether there was any deforestation by man or livestock in his area. Every day, he had to write a diary of the mountain patrol, and the director of the camp forest district had to "correct it."
However, Liu Guo has shifted from "I want to patrol the mountains" to "I want to patrol the mountains." He said: "There is nothing wrong, a little bit, I like to go to the mountains to walk and take a look, otherwise it will be uncomfortable and unsteady." ”
Feeling comfortable and down-to-earth on the dam, there is also 8-year-old Liu Xiaoyu.
Usually, Liu Xiaoyu studies and lives in the township near Saihanba. It was summer, and he followed his family up the dam. When he saw it, he was forming a "treasure hunting team" with two other children, playing on the grass, "I like the dam, I can always run, run, run, run in one breath."
In the embrace of nature, he is a stretched man.
On the evening of July 12, at the "Pine Carpet Tiancheng" attraction in the Qixing Lake False Sage Grass Wetland Park, a little boy picked up a pine cone and asked his mother what it was. His mother told him it was a pine cone with the seeds of a pine tree in it. The seeds grew slowly, and they were the little saplings next to them.
The three words "little saplings" made the little boy's eyes move, and no one next to him read the nursery rhyme: "In the garden, there are a row of small saplings, and the roots are planted at a general height." Small saplings, tender and small, shake and fall. Children love saplings, you don't touch them, it doesn't shake, hang a small note: everyone loves the saplings. ”
The little boy from Beijing, named Guo Hengming, is studying in kindergarten. Mother Chao Hua said that this was the first time she had heard her son sing this nursery rhyme.
Such a place, such a moment, the starlight of "loving the little saplings" flashed in the mind of this 4-year-old child.
A beautiful seed was sprouting in his heart.
Children mean the future. Adults should escort the green they love.
The Saihanba people are role models.
"Who?" A green heart, a face of fortitude and happiness. On the journey to the Chinese dream, someone asked.
"Saihanba people!" The answer is loud and powerful.
"Who?" Seeing ecological things so thoroughly, acting so decisively. On the side of the comic strip of humanity depicting the prospects of ecological civilization, someone asked.
"Chinese!" Answers are firmer and more sonorous.
