(240601) -- SHENYANG, June 1, 2024 (Xinhua) -- Lyu Linyou (R) communicates with a staff member at the Zhanggutai base of the sand control and utilization research institute of the Liaoning Academy of Agricultural Sciences in Zhangwu County, northeast China's Liaoning Province, May 30, 2024. In 2004, 24-year-old Lyu Linyou joined the former provincial institute of sandy land utilization, which is now the sand control and utilization research institute of the Liaoning Academy of Agricultural Sciences, after graduation. Initially, Lyu specialized in grass science and had no clear idea about sand control. He learned from senior colleagues and local farmers in Zhangwu County, accumulating experience and gradually becoming determined to apply his knowledge to sand control. Located on the southern edge of the Horqin sandy land, Zhangwu was once plagued by sand and dust storms. Historically, 96 percent of Zhangwu County's total area was desertified land.

    (240602) -- ZHANGWU, June 2, 2024 (Xinhua) -- Li Dongkui feeds chicken at home in Zhangwu County, northeast China's Liaoning Province, May 30, 2024. Li Dongkui is a forest ranger at Zhanggutai Forest Farm in Zhangwu County. The forest farm is located on the southern edge of the Horqin Sandy Land and is part of the Three-North Shelterbelt Forest Program. In 1987, after retiring from the military, Li began working at the forest farm as a ranger. The most profound childhood memory Li has of his hometown is the fierce sandstorms. He knew that only by advancing sand control could this situation be fundamentally changed. However, the challenges Li faced were far beyond his imagination. In the beginning, the conditions on the forest farm were extremely harsh, far from populated areas, with no water or electricity, and the land was covered with sand dunes. The forest there had no roads and was rugged, so the forest farm equipped Li with a horse. To better patrol the forest, Li moved his home into the mounta
