The doctor smiled and said, “I am sorry. I wasn’t in the hospital and I came as fast as I could after getting the call. Now, I wish you’d calm down so that I can do my work.”

“Calm down? What if your son was in this room right now? Would you calm down? If your own son dies while waiting for a doctor, then what will you do?” said the father angrily. The doctor smiled again and replied, “We will do our best and you should also pray (祈祷) for your son’s healthy life.”

The surgery took nearly four hours, after that the doctor went out happily, “Your son is saved!” And without waiting for the father’s reply, he went on running and saying, “If you have any question, ask the nurse.”

“Couldn’t he wait some minutes so that I can ask about my son’s situation?” shouted the father when seeing the nurse minutes after the doctor left.

The nurse answered, tears (眼泪) coming down her face. “His son died yesterday in a road accident. He was at the burial (葬礼) when we called him for your son’s surgery. And now that he saved your son’s life, he left running to finish his son’s burial.”

Hua Weiguang was a teacher before. After he retired (退休), he took up taking photos. Ten years ago, Hua found some people planting trees in his hometown, Horqin, and then he started to take photos of them.

Because of desertification (沙漠化), people could hardly find any plants in Horqin at that time. In Hua’s photos we can find many things such as sandstorms, young trees and the people who fight against desertification.

It was difficult to plant trees at that time. The workers had to wear masks, hats and scarves all the time. In summer, it was so hot that the workers had to lie down next to their cars to cool off. They also had to eat their lunch with the blowing sand. What about sunstroke (中暑)? Well, they took some medicine, drank a little water and then continued working.

Now there are all kinds of plants, and a lot of animals have made their homes here. Without Hua’s photos, no one would believe that these changes are possible. People planted trees one after another. And they built a green great wall there.
