Minqin County, Gansu Province, located on the westernmost edge of the Tengger Desert, is one of the sources of sandstorms in China.
Due to the poor living environment of rdquo;, Minqin County, which was attacked by the two major deserts & ldquo;, desertification was close to 95% in 2012.National Geographic magazine has asserted that Minqin County in China's Gansu Province will soon disappear from the map.
In 2007, Lu Quhong (@ Xiao Qingjie, who planted Haloxylon ammodendron in the desert) saw the sandstorm in Minqin, Gansu Province, and decided to change the fate of the land through & ldquo; planting trees to control sand & rdquo;.
She and 30 other volunteers from across the country planted the first Haloxylon ammodendron tree here and stayed on the road to sand control for 16 years.
Over the past 16 years, she and her fellow volunteers across the country have planted more than 60000 mu and nearly a million Haloxylon ammodendron trees in the Tengger Desert, with a survival rate of 85%.

With the help of the Internet, with the support of the byte beating public welfare platform, her action attracted more people to participate in the desert control team, and raised nearly 170000 yuan, which can grow more than 200 mu of land.
She also has a small goal: ldquo; and the government signed a contract with 170000 mu of land, hoping that 18 years later, when I was 60, I could plant all the Haloxylon ammodendron trees.
