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.
