@chinagk_dus: 27-Year Reunion: U.S. Teacher and Chinese Desertification Hero. Twenty-seven years ago, American teacher Ronald Sakolsky donated $5,000 to Yin Yuzhen, a rural woman in Inner Mongolia’s Mu Us Desert, for planting trees. Today, this “desertification hero” has turned over 11,000 acres of sandy land green and planted more than 8 million trees—the saplings she bought with that support have grown into a forest. Sakolsky recently traveled to China to see this green miracle with his own eyes—a friendship that spans oceans and a testament to China’s steady progress in desertification control. #GreenChina
