There is a tall and solid tree growing in my hometown, which is called "Hero Tree"-Hu Yangshu. It has the characteristics of cold resistance, alkali resistance and sandstorm resistance, so it is closely related to people's lives. It plays an important role in preventing wind and fixing sand, improving climate and improving ecological environment. There is a saying that "life will not die for a thousand years, death will not fall for a thousand years, but it can last for a thousand years." According to the folklore of Xinjiang people, local people and westerners, Hu Yangshu can live for a thousand years and then die. After his death, he still stood there for a thousand years. A thousand years later, the second one fell in the desert, still blocking the quicksand. There are still 1000 years, it will not rot, it will not rot. This is Populus euphratica in three thousand years. Of course, the Hu Yangshu I saw is a legend. Actually, it's not that long, but it hasn't decayed for a long time. Then the golden Hu Yangshu, and then a large area. Hundreds of kilometers in the desert, only a Hu Yangshu and a Populus euphratica stood there alone, looking at it alone.
Hu Yangshu is the most tenacious, selfless, tolerant and tragic tree. It is a barrier in front of the desert, guarding the cities, villages, green mountains and green waters behind it until death. ...
I love Hu Yangshu not only because of its beautiful appearance, but also because of its spiritual beauty. In life, we should learn to be strong, grow and be selfless. Just like this Hu Yangshu, even if it dies, collapses and decays, it still guards its hometown, which is lower than sandstorm. This is a spiritual tree!
