The Warm Journey to Dongyang Between the 60 Army Wife and the Rough Man

Deep in the sand-ravaged Gobi, young scientist Jiang Nian and soldier Huo Tingzhou took over the baton from their predecessor in desert control, Su Man, and embarked on a journey of co-building an oasis across time and space. Under the desolate Gobi, there are old notes and seed samples left by Su Man. Those yellowed pages record the survival wisdom of the "Three Heroes of Salt-alkali Land" such as Salt Claw, White Thorn, and Suaeda. They also hide the natural code that the seeds of Ilex must be polished by wind and sand before they can germinate. Jiang Nian and Huo Tingzhou took herdsmen Batu and Lao Ha across the Baijiantan to collect salt-tolerant plant seeds. They cracked the drought-resistant gene of wheatgrass in the laboratory, used ancient methods of sheep dung powder to prevent moisture and camel hair bags to harvest seeds, and built a seed bank that carries hope. They followed Su Man's "relay salt reduction" mixed sowing plan and planted salt claws, white thorns and suaeda in the demonstration fields, allowing plant roots to cooperate with natural wind and sand to improve the soil. From rescuing seedlings in storms to reviving native vegetation communities, desertification control is not only a process of taking root, but also a collision between the wisdom of the past and contemporary persistence. In the morning light and dusk of the Gobi, old and new seeds are displayed side by side in the seed bank, witnessing that life and hope are quietly growing along the veins of time in the barren land.
