Reading Saihanba, located in the far-northern part of Hebei Province, became a green miracle. Around the late 1950s, you could hardly see a tree or a flower anywhere in Saihanba. In 1962, the local government decided to change this dead land into a forest. To carry out the task, a group of 369 foresters, mostly in their 20s, was organised. “At the very beginning, I did not realise that the working conditions would be so harsh and the weather so bad,” said Zhao Zhenyu, one of the first-generation foresters. But they never gave up. The foresters carried on, overcoming the challenges of the land. They used science and technology to help trees to survive harsh conditions. The Saihanba people worked hard with their hearts and minds for more than half a century. The Saihanba Spirit inspired the foresters to complete the difficult task. Saihanba is now the largest human-made forest in the world. It plays an important role in environmental protection. People can enjoy fresh air, birds singing, and beautiful scenery there. now 1962 around the late 1950s People could _____ a tree or a flower anywhere The local government decided _____ Saihanba is _____ _____ _____. hardly see to change this dead land into a forest the largest human-made forest in the world 1.
