What challenges might there be in planting a tree, it would seem? But in practice, this involves a lot of work.
Even an older man in good health, for instance, needs energy to make a hole, fill it with water, place a seedling in the hole, and then cover it with soil.
Today’s tale involves a man who, despite his advanced age, planted nearly 17,500 trees.
Mao Xiao, a 70-year-old resident of Maul Village who has spent 20 years engaging in incredibly noble activities, is 70 years old. He makes a forest.
Mao has planted a sizable forest throughout the years.
The Chinese man has been doing this every day since 2000 while the sun is just starting to rise.
He packs food for the entire day along with him. Mao arrives at the location, wears his gloves, and goes to plant trees.
The local officials’ representatives learned of Xiao’s admirable deeds. But he continued to grow trees personally.
The man now does it as a sign of appreciation. And he claims that he will keep adding green places when he can. Nice, right?
