Story summary:
When reading the history of Lushan, I came across this record: "After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in 1946, Lushan had 6 forest areas, 15 forestry personnel, more than 40,000 acres of trees planted, and a nursery area of 193 acres. ... After liberation, Lushan Forest Farm gradually developed and expanded, with jurisdiction over Donglin, Tongyuan, Xiufeng, and Bailudong branches, and recruited more than 30 young farmers around the foothills as temporary workers to reclaim wasteland, afforestation, nursery and forest care... At that time Their living conditions were based on the supply system, with unified food standards, pocket money, uniform clothing, and "Lushan Forestry Farm" badges. They were all in high spirits. By 1958, these new generation of "mountain guardians" were planting trees and afforestation1 50,000 acres, bringing the forest coverage rate of Lushan to more than 45%. Today, there are lush green pines, cypresses, and cryptomeria beside Qin Lake, Huanglong Temple, and under the Shannan Highway.
In 1982, Lushan Mountain was rated as the first national scenic spot.
In 1996, Lushan Mountain was included in the World Heritage List as a "World Cultural Landscape"
In 2002, Mount Lushan was rated as one of the top ten famous mountains in China.
In 2004, Lushan Mountain was rated as a World Geopark
As of last year, Lushan was rated as one of the first batch of national 5A tourist areas.
I was thinking that the beauty and splendor of Mount Lushan were created by so many proud Lushan people and those "mountain protectors". There must be touching stories behind them...
