Xie Feng 谢锋(@AmbXieFeng):“The sands of life will eventually run out … but the story will never come to an end.” Today, Mr. Ronald Sakolsky revisited the Maowusu Desert with Ms. Yinyuzhen. Among the 50,000 trees that have grown from the saplings bought with Ronald’s $5,000 donation 26 years ago, they planted together three new saplings. Some hope takes root, some friendships defy time and distance, and some stories never end.
