Special Report on National Greening Medal Winner Du Guoqiu 　　The first National Greening Medal winner Du Guoqiu has planted 50 thousand trees and greened 1000 mu of desolate mountain land in the last 16 years. 　　In 1983, Du bid farewell to his family and moved to Shiziggou to the east of Taihang Mountain range to plant trees. At that time, Shizigou was merely a barren mountain land without a single tree. But by his 16 years of sweat Du has changed it into a mountain land of greenery. The erstwhile serious problems as of water loss and soil erosion have been put under control and replaced by ecological balance. In 1996, Hebei Province had a torrential rainstorm, but there were only crystal clear water flows out of the place. 　　 HomeNews 1999-01-22 Page5 Full Story in Chinese
