19.青山不老

The green mountain does not grow old

1．There are willows outside the window.

2．The yard is in a ravine and the hill is full of trees.

3．We sat cross-legged on the earthen bed, just like sitting on a boat, surrounded by green waves, and when the wind blew, the treetops rolled over the waves and sparkling waves shone among the leaves.

4．I know the general environment in which this ravine is located.

5．This is the northwest of China's Jin, where the Siberian winds often come to wreak havoc, where drought, frost, sandstorms and other monsters that work against life take hold.

6．In the past, the wind-blown sand rose here and could be buried all the way to the head of the city.

7. The local county records: "When the wind is big, can reverse the blowing cattle and horses to make the reverse line, or the engine of the high two or three feet and fall."

8. In such a dangerous place, the thin old man across from me with a dry tobacco bag in his hand, but created this oasis.

9．I also know the small environment in this courtyard.

10．A row of three rooms, the old man was left alone.

11．Every morning, the old man grabbed a firewood to cook rice, bring dry food to carry a shovel into the ditch to the mountains; back in the evening, eat, smoke a bag of cigarettes to sleep.

12．At the age of 65, he organized seven old men to start managing the ditch, and now five of them have passed away.

13．His respectable old companion, who had been with him through thick and thin all his life; one day when he came back from planting trees, he found her lying quietly on the bed and passed away.

14．He was already eighty-one years old and knew that one day he would not be able to get up.

15. His only daughter came back from the city time and again to take him to enjoy the happiness, he refused to go. He felt that planting trees is the choice of fate, the green hills behind the house is the home of life.

16. He knocked on the early pot of smoke and said unhurriedly, the village cadres in the side respectfully added ...... Fifteen years, greening eight ditches, making seven windbreaks, 3,700 acres of forest network, what a miracle.

17．Last winter, he used the forestry income to finance the purchase of a television set for each household - he also has a grand vision, and will plant trees until he can not climb up.

18．After talking in the house, the old man accompanied us to the ditch to see the trees.

19．The poplars and willows, like arms and strands, stood strong in the hillside of the mountains.

20．Their roots could not be seen, the mud from the flash flood buried the lower part of the tree, but the tree bravely withstood its ferocity.

21．The mountain has lost its original slope shape, depending on the layer of trees to form layers of ladders.

22．The old man said, "The silt under this tree is two meters thick, and it's all good soil."

23．Yes, we have the green trees because of the yellow soil; and we have the green trees because of the soil.

24．After seeing the trees, we said goodbye at the entrance of the village.

25．The old man, on crutches, slowly stepped into his small green and windy yard.

26．I couldn't help but have a sour nose maybe the old man went in and never came out.

27．As an old farmer in the mountains, this is how he came to realize his values.

28．He has transformed his life into something else. He is truly living with the mountains and rivers, with the sun and the moon.

29．This ordinary old man made me realize that the green hills do not grow old.
