In 1988, Wang Chengbang retired (退休) from the army. Instead of enjoying a     1     life, he volunteered to save the soil from desertification (沙漠化) by planting trees in Korla, Xinjiang.

It is not     2     easy job. The high temperature in Korla makes it difficult for anyone to work day after day in the sunshine. Besides, water is a big problem. In fact, Wang Chengbang’s     3     few years failed as very few trees survived (存活).

But no matter how hard, Wang Chengbang would not give up. “After trying many different work in the ways, I have learned how to grow young trees in a(n)     4     way,” said Wang Chengbang. He also     5     out new ways to save water. With his hard work, more and more trees have survived. So far, more than 1.5 million trees have been planted by     6    . Those green trees prevent desertification, make the air cleaner and protect people     7     the hot sun. Now, Korla is a model city in     8     protection.

Wang Chengbang is also successful in fighting cancer (癌症). In 2021, he had cancer and was told that he had only six     9     to live. However, he continued     10     care of his trees rather than lying in bed. “Working is the best medicine. Planting trees     11     to fight cancer,” he often jokes.

Now although he is at the age of 86, Wang Chengbang is still working.
