Desertification is a major global ecological problem that affects human survival and development.
General Secretary Xi Jinping has always been worried about the ecological protection of Inner Mongolia and has repeatedly stressed that "Inner Mongolia should be built into an important ecological security barrier in northern China".

The confrontation between yellow sand and green is not only a clash of space, but also a spiritual confrontation. Since the early 1980s, three generations of workers from Gansu Babusha Forest Farm, represented by the "Six Old Men," have continued to struggle and dared to turn the desert into an oasis.
In August 2017, General Secretary Xi Jinping gave important instructions to the touching deeds of the builders of Saihanba Mechanical Forest Farm, and defined the spirit of Saihanba: keeping in mind the mission, hard work, and green development.

At present, China has a forest area of 231 million hectares, a forest coverage rate of 24.02%, and a grassland area of 265 million hectares. The area of desertified land has expanded from an average of 10400 square kilometers at the end of the last century to an average annual reduction of 2424 square kilometers. As one of the countries with the most severe desertification, China has achieved a historic transformation from "sand in and people out" to "green in and sand out".
