Haoyuan Village lies in the Gobi Desert (沙漠), next to Helan Mountain. In 2008, as part of an environmental improvement campaign (运动), it was decided that, with its long hours of sunshine, large temperature difference between day and night, and loose soil, the area was ideal for growing grapes. Su Jinping was among the first to plant vines (葡萄藤).
“The wind was so strong that the rocks moved. You couldn’t see any birds in the sky. All you ever saw was desert. When the wind was strong, your mouth would be full of sand. The seedlings (幼苗) looked so weak. I didn’t know if they would survive (存活). Anyway, I planted and watered them. To my surprise, they survived!” Su says. “Now, see the bunches of grapes! All shining and heavy! For a farmer, it’s such an exciting sight.”
Grapes love barren (贫瘠的) land. The more barren the land is, the higher the quality (质量) will be. Before planting the vines, people need to plant trees as a windbreak (防风林). The rule is that windbreaks should be at least 15% of the area. The grape vines themselves also act as a windbreak.
Thanks to grape growing, 230 square kilometres of desert on the eastern part of the Helan Mountains has been changed into an oasis (绿洲). 70% of Haoyuan’s people have found jobs in the wine industry (产业) and make over 30 000 yuan more than before every year.
“It’s magical. Desert has been turned green. I’ll work hard to protect the mountains. Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable (无价的) treasure!” Su says.
