Episode description

In 1962, 127 agricultural and forestry graduates were sent to Saihanba, together with the 242 foresters already there, to complete an almost impossible task: to establish a large-scale mechanized forest farm in the desert. After years of trial and error, they eventually covered the once barren land in hundreds of square kilometers of forest in just a few decades. Thanks to their heroic efforts, they have provided an invaluable contribution to the advancement of a global ecological civilization.
