一位失明老人和他的无臂朋友在中国种植了超过1万棵树

望见河北省景兴县孙庄乡野里村北面那片绿树成荫、郁郁葱葱的土地,很难想象仅仅12年前,这片平原还遍布乱石和杂草。这奇迹般的转变,要归功于一位名叫贾海霞的盲人老人和他的朋友贾文奇——一位双臂截肢者。十多年来,他们种植了数千棵树木,致力于保护和维护村庄周围的自然生态。

53岁的海霞出生时患有先天性白内障,左眼失明。2000年,他在一次工伤事故中失去了另一只眼睛,从此彻底失明。同样53岁的文奇在3岁时因意外失去了双臂。海霞完全失明后,两位朋友找工作变得困难,于是他们决定从当地政府租借河岸边八英亩多的土地,计划植树造林,造福子孙后代。在努力实现这一崇高目标的同时,海霞和文奇也为保护村庄免受洪水侵袭做出了贡献,并获得了政府的少量资助。

每天早上七点,两个好朋友起床,开始一天的工作。由于囊中羞涩,买不起树苗,他们只能从成树上剪下枝条,然后栽种,创造新的生命。多年来,他们并肩生活、辛勤劳作,这对亲密的伙伴学会了如何携手克服各自的缺陷。文奇经常背着失明的海霞渡过湍急的河流,而海霞则爬到树顶,剪下枝条作为新树苗的插条。海霞爬下树后,会在地上挖洞栽种枝条;之后,文奇负责照料幼苗,给它们浇水。凭借这种独特的合作方式,据他们估计,十多年来,他们已经种下了超过一万棵树。

海夏和文琪的英勇事迹在中国广为流传后,获得了巨大的关注和支持。据河北浩人报道,一些好心人捐款为这对老人提供养老金,以维持他们的生活。新华社的另一篇报道带来了一个令人振奋的消息:海夏的左眼有望重见光明,因为一支医疗团队愿意为他免费进行手术。从这对朋友的暖心故事中,我们可以看出,善行终有回报!

One fall I planted 40 tree seedlings in my back yard. Over the winter rabbits ate them...

Yes sometimes we get too bogged down in our own little world of difficulties not realising our own potential to work hard and have a giving nature.

Truly amazing. I wish i could send them seeds and tools. But they live in such a rural place. they are great. I love to plant trees too, but only silver birch trees as my garden is small.
