About This Novel
This book is a reportage that tells the story of desert control scientist Liu Mingting's desert control experience of more than 60 years in the desert of southern Xinjiang. Liu Mingting has won three awards from the United Nations Environment Program. In 2019, he was awarded the title of "The Most Beautiful Struggler" by the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in celebration of the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Liu Mingting has studied tamarisk and sand control throughout his life, representing the highest level of tamarisk research in my country. He discovered 5 new species of tamarisk, invented the high-yield tamarisk seedling cultivation technology, and used "flood irrigation" technology to develop the tamarisk vegetation in southern Xinjiang to more than 5 million acres, making outstanding contributions to Xinjiang's ecological environment management. He invented the tamarisk planting technology, which organically combined ecological and economic benefits. Under his leadership and guidance, 500,000 acres of red willow trees were developed throughout the Hotan area, allowing hundreds of thousands of farmers in the desert area to embark on the road to get rid of poverty and become rich. The work vividly displays a typical image of a role model of the era. It promotes the patriotic spirit, inspires the patriotic feelings of people of all ethnic groups in the country, and gathers powerful patriotic power to realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
