Zhang Yinglong's rules of the deserted sand began to get gold

"The mountains are bald, and there are no woods in the beach. The yellow sand is rolling, and ten farming and nine are not collected." It is more difficult to plant a tree than to feed a child in Shenmu City, Shaanxi Province, Shaanxi Province, the southeast edge of Maowu Sansha. Mao Wusha is one of the four major sandy land in China. Historically, this is once known as the pearl of "water grass fat, cattle and sheep plug". From the beginning of the Tang Dynasty to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, due to the unreasonable development and utilization of human beings and climate change, the Mao Usu area gradually became a vast desert, and the local ecology was severely damaged.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, after several generations of people's efforts, the ecological deterioration trend of Maowu Su Sand has been completely reversed, and it has achieved a historic transformation from "Sand Jinren" to "people enter the sand and retreat". During this period, a large number of advanced typical sand control and heroes emerged. Zhang Yinglong, a model of green labor and the national greening medal winner, was one of them.

Among the many sand control models, Zhang Yinglong participated in sand control, but the largest sand control area was the largest, the method was more scientific, and the effect was more prominent. Since the governance of the sand control in 2003, he has completed 428,000 acres of sand control, and the actual management area is more than 500,000 acres, which is 1.7 times to 4 times the sand control area of ​​other people. In terms of cultivation technology, his seedling survival rate reaches more than 85%, and it can exceed 90%after being planted. With 18 years of hard work, Zhang Yinglong, relying on scientific and technological progress, and innovating the sand control model, transformed from the simple "sand prevention and sand control" model of the older generation to the current "sand control" model, and came out of a scientific harmony New ways to sustain sand control.

Give your life to the desert

Spring Maowu Sanda rarely rainfall, but this year not only rainfall, but also heavy rain. When the electric flashed thunder, Dou's raindrops smashed down in a series of rains, and Zhang Yinglong was particularly happy when it fell on the roof of the color steel shed. Maybe only people who live in the desert can understand the precious spring rain.

"In the past rain, I was going to kill a sheep to celebrate." Zhang Yinglong said. Zhang Yinglong, 59, is a native of Shaanxi Shenmu. Since 2003, he has made 428,000 acres of desert into forests, pastures and farmland in 18 years, and has become a local sand control hero, and has also become a national model.

A reporter who interviewed a number of sand control heroes believed that Zhang Yinglong gave people a lot of feelings. He was wearing glasses, Wen Qi Binbin, and showed his elegance in the talker. From time to time, he mentioned topics such as international environmental protection dynamics, scientific research results of sand control, and sandy plant development. This may be due to his experience in college and public officials, and he has been a life experience for many years of foreign company executives.

Zhang Yinglong's sand control career began with a commitment to villagers.

Before the sand controlled, he was an executive in a foreign company in Beijing. At that time, he was wearing a custom suit, stepping on imported leather shoes, and a big brother, and he was proud of wherever he went. Occasionally, in 2002, he and his friends came to the ugly ditch village in the source of the Puliko River in Maowu Sandi. This is an important water source area of ​​Shenmu, and it is also an important habitat for wild animals such as swans and egrets in Yulin City. In such an important region, he felt that it should be protected. So he contracted 428,000 mu of deserted sand with 35 kilometers long north and south with the source of the Balto River in his personal north and south. Leave 500,000 yuan for a few friends, let them start forestry and sand here, protect water, and protect wildlife.

Unexpectedly, 500,000 yuan was invested in this desert, and it was like a glass of water, and no change could be seen. The friends told him that the money he stayed was spent, and they couldn't support it anymore, either he came back to do it, or gave up this invisible thing. "Don't be stubborn because of the far away, as long as you go, you will arrive." It is such a persistent belief that Zhang Yinglong resigned from the work of foreign companies with an annual salary of more than 200,000 yuan and returned to his hometown resolutely. A authentic sand control "farmer".

Soon, he spent more than 1 million yuan for many years, so he sold more than 1 million yuan in 6 facade rooms left by his father on Shenmu Street for sandwiching. At this point, Zhang Yinglong has invested more than 2.5 million yuan in sand control funds. He has also become a successful person from a career, and he has become poor. Rest 50 yuan. In such a dilemma, Zhang Yinglong was still like a tendon, and he did not look back in the desert. "The wind can roll up the sand on the Gobi, but cannot pull out a grass on the snowy mountains; a person's ambition is deeply tied in his heart, and it will not flutter with the wind." The ideal of the descendants was deeply stuck in Zhang Yinglong's heart, so that he had recklessly and "threw" himself in the desert regardless of everything.

Over the past 18 years, he has invested more than 5 million yuan in personal funds for afforestation. The family once thought that he had made a mental problem, and his friends had repeatedly advised him to give up the sand control, and some even expressed his willingness to make up for all the expenses spent on the sand control. However, Zhang Yinglong believed that although his initial choice was a bit blind, the direction was correct. Because sand control is a major event that is related to future generations. Although his choices have lost their own abandoned aspects, the results benefit the descendants, and the road will eventually get everyone's recognition, understanding and support, and the cause of sand control will definitely succeed.

Scientific sand control can be successful

Sand management is not an easy task. Although the personality of the Northwest man was stubborn and stubborn, Zhang Yinglong was tortured by the desert in less than a year.

"Actually, it wasn't that I changed the desert, but the desert educated me." In 18 years, Zhang Yinglong failed, lonely, and desperate, but watching the sandy land he had contracted to turns green year by year, he said with emotion: "I look from the tree. When it comes to, a tree can grow stubbornly in the desert and live positively. Is it not as good as a tree myself, and I can't stick to it in the predicament? "

"I was very depressed and disappointed at first, but I had to be responsible for my promise, and I would persist." Zhang Yinglong said. After a few setbacks, he understood the truth: To control the sand, it is impossible to rely on buddies to be righteous, and to rely on science.

The 18 -year -old afforestation experience made Zhang Yinglong gradually grow from the forestry layman to a sand control expert. From the initial sand prevention and sand control, to the sand protective sand, to the current stage of ecological cycle utilization, he gradually pondered some sand control doors. "The name is sand control, in fact, we are dealing with the trend. According to the wind direction, reasonable sand control. As long as the wind is cured, the sand can be cured." Zhang Yinglong introduced that the traditional sand fixing means are wood grass, clay, branches, branches , Materials such as pebbles are paved on the sand surface and made into a barrier to protect the sand soil on the surface. On this basis, he made further improvements. The middle of the grid was recessed, and the sand slowly blocked the wind path. "When I have obstacles, pay attention to not blocking, and reduce the surface wind speed, which can gradually slow down the dunes."

After fixed the sand, Zhang Yinglong began to plant shrubs such as sea buckthorn. The body of the shrub was short. Often, multiple branches were emitted at the base, which was clustered, which could make the vegetation status of the sand more stable. Then, plant trees again. In 2006, with the continuous improvement of the national forestry policy and the continuous advancement of the Sanbei project, Zhang Yinglong began to promote the mixed forest planting model at the base to ensure the diversity of base creatures. "The planting trees should be stepped step by step. With the water planting trees, we cannot dogmare. For example, every fall, the rainy season is coming, which is the best time for our tree to plant trees."

At present, Zhang Yinglong implements afforestation all year round according to the characteristics of spring rain and too many autumn rain: obstacles in spring, planting purple and locust, planting camphor pine in the rainy season, long -handed tonsils in autumn, etc. The new forestone -making model with high survival rate has greatly changed the ecological environment of the governance area. The vegetation coverage has increased from the initial 3%to about 70%.

"At present, it is necessary to restore it as an ecosystem. To ensure the sustainable governance of the sand, it must not destroy the ecology again, and let it produce some economic benefits to achieve the cycle of human and nature." In the influence of Germany's near -natural forestry concept, Zhang Yinglong tried to simulate the natural ecosystem at his own base, and began to adopt the "species nine stay one" model for desert governance, that is, nine -point sand fixing greening, and to maintain the original sand of the sand. "This is not only a simple sand control and afforestation, but also soil, water, temperature, microorganism, and even local people to take into account the scope of this ecosystem."

In order to promote the sustainable development of the local ecological industry, Zhang Yinglong has continuously introduced varieties and technologies. He introduced 12 varieties of wine grapes, and used the spring small arch sheds to extend the growth period of growth and winter arched cotton quilt (wet) technology to solve the two major problems of Yulin grape planting for a long time and winter insulation. The bacteria, using human and animal feces, catering waste, sewage treatment plants black mud, plant straw production organic and environmentally friendly solid base fertilizer and liquid fertilizer, to solve the problem of facial source pollution such as sandy soil fertility and sustainable organic soil. "Through scientific research activities, I realized how to develop. Only when the ecology improves can I better develop the economy and then feed the ecology." Zhang Yinglong said.

Disposus is also rich

Green water and green mountains are Jinshan Yinshan. From sand prevention to sand control to sand protective sand, the new generation of Yulin people represented by Zhang Yinglong explores in the desert, combining sand control with richness, and writing a new chapter in science and technology in the northwestern desert areas in my country.

In the past 18 years, Zhang Yinglong has developed forestry seedlings with local farmers through sand control, and has introduced raspberry, flower crickets, winemaking grapes, edible fungus planting, and ecological breeding of sheep, so that the surrounding villagers will increase their income at home. Today, the emerald artificial forest covers the former desert, and the living environment of the ugly ditch has improved, and the "money bag" has also bulged.

In 2004, when Zhang Yinglong had dinner with local farmers, an old farmer said that there was a plant called "old immortal" in the sand, and he couldn't die. Later, he took the plant to the Northwest Agricultural Forestry University of Agriculture and Forestry Science and Technology for consultation, and it was determined that its scientific name was "long -handed tonsil".

The side roots of this kind of tonsils can reach 40 meters, not only long life, suitable for growing in sand, but also fruit or oil crops, which have high economic value. After learning about this information, Zhang Yinglong began to think about it. He first asked the Chinese Academy of Forestry to help cultivate a suitable variety, and contacted the experts of the Institute of Water and Water Conservation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. While exploring boldly, Zhang Yinglong gradually became an expert in long -handed tonsils from a foreigner, and also published a book.

"It is difficult to grow trees in the desert. It is difficult to get rid of the results." Zhang Yinglong said that the many characteristics of long -handed tonsils made him see hope. Today, tonsil forests have begun to take shape.

This change, the local villagers feel the deepest. "In the past, there were all sand. The wind and sand were big. After the night, the door had to be relying on iron, and the newly repaired Tu Road was blown." Villager Wang Zhanlin said. After 18 years of hard work, Zhang Yinglong led them to completely improve the environment here. The sand control also created a lot of employment positions, and the labor expenditure for the villagers each year reached more than 2 million yuan. Originally, the herdsmen here have become workers in the sand control base, some are planting various crops, some work in the fertilizer factory, and some are running to transport. Sister Liu from nearby villages said that they came here every year when they were leisurely. They salad 160 yuan per day. After three or four months a year, they could increase their income for more than 10,000 yuan an annual income.

After years of experience in sand control, Zhang Yinglong gradually formed his own ideas: the power of sand control must be widely mobilized by the whole society, and adherence to scientific sand control in order to go long -term. As early as 2004, Zhang Yinglong initiated the establishment of the Shenmu County Ecological Protection Construction Association. In the past 18 years, the association has cooperated with more than 20 scientific research units including the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Forestry. Zhang Yinglong's scientific concept of sand control has gradually taken shape.

In the mix of forest species, it is determined that shrubs are the main and local tree species. Play the foundation for the development of the sand industry to build biomass energy bases. In 2008, the cooperation with Northwest University formally established the "Desert Governance and Desert Economic Plant Research Institute" to conduct long -term research on sand control and sand industry development. In particular, the major achievements in the development and utilization of long -handed tonsils have attracted great attention from relevant parties.

As the sand control base has gradually developed, in addition to long -handled tonsils, Zhang Yinglong's team also has a lot of crickets, European geese breeding bases, and grapes, wolfberry, rice and other planting bases. Every year after the Qingming Festival, the entire sand control base is busy, and those who participate in voluntary trees will also come, so that the loneliness of the vast desert will never be seen here.

For more than 40 years, the Sanbei Project has invested more than 640 million yuan in Yulin, and implemented 21.703 million mu of forests, which increased the preserved area of ​​the forest and wood from Yulin to 23.6 million mu at the beginning of liberation. The forest coverage rate increased from 0.9% By 36%, the ecological environment has been significantly improved, and Zhang Yinglong is all the witnesses, witnesses and writers of all these. Looking at a boring place where the yellow sand and grass were born, and was changed into a green ocean little by little by himself, Zhang Yinglong said comfortably: "It is precisely because of the good time to catch up with the reform and opening up, and the country attaches importance to the ecological environment Only on the road of protection and ecological forestry construction, I can go farther and better on the road of anti -sand prevention. "
