Green Great Wall—The Women’s Sand Control Militia of Bulang River

By the Bulang River, where sandstorms once raged, a group of women built a green great wall with their seemingly fragile bodies. Walking into the memorial park of the sand control militia, you are greeted by stretches of sand willows and windbreak forests, like a miracle of life.

The exhibition hall displays the tools and images from their past. Though their faces bear the marks of wind and frost, their determined smiles remain undiminished. As I step onto what was once a barren desert, now lush and green, a profound respect wells up in my heart. Every blade of grass and tree here stands as a testament to their battle against the relentless sands. The story of Bulang River teaches us that perseverance and faith can transform the land and inspire generations to protect their homeland.
