Barboucha is located in the northeast of Gulang County, on the southern edge of Tengger Desert, and it is one of the areas where sandstorms are raging and disasters are serious. The local villagers have an image saying that "the north wind rides on the wall all night, and the donkey gets up and goes home in the morning."

According to relevant data, from 1950s to early 1980s, dune in Tengger moved southward at the speed of10m every year, and surrounding farmland, roads and even houses were often buried by yellow sand. "Sandstorms ravage fertile fields and Tengger Desert is uninhabited", which has become a true portrayal of the retreat of local sand people.

198 1 In the spring of, six rural elderly people in Tumen Town, Gulang County set up a collective forest farm in the form of household contract to defend their homes, and resolutely walked into a barren desert where nothing grows and began to plant trees to control sand damage. They became the first generation of sand control people in Babusha, and these six old people were affectionately called "six old people" by the locals.

At that time, six old people were holding a donkey and carrying several shovels. People were carrying donkeys, saplings and grass seeds. Living in Barboucha, seven kilometers away from Tumen Town, I camped on the endless sand dunes and began to fix sand and plant trees.

They dug a bunker and covered it with bedding for housing; Set up an iron pot with three stones, which is the stove; They eat and drink fried noodles with boiling water for three meals a day, go out early and return late, and plant Hua Gun, elm and Elaeagnus angustifolia on the sand dunes in Daiyue. Most of the ten thousand mu of saplings planted hard in a year were swallowed up by a sandstorm, which completely ruined the hard work of six old people.

However, the six old people did not give up. They were surprised to find that the saplings planted beside the grass mound were still alive. This is a miracle and a hope. From then on, they began to plant trees by the indigenous method of fixing sand and protecting seedlings with wheat straw.

In practice, six old people explored the method of "one tree with a handful of grass, digging out the sand to prevent wind", and the survival rate of afforestation was greatly improved.

In the 1990s, four old people passed away one after another, and the other two were helpless. But Barboucha still needs to be managed, and Liu Lao's family are reluctant to give up this woodland.

So Liu Laohan's children took over the afforestation work of their parents, and they became the second generation of sand control people in Babusha. They led the local people to continue planting trees in Barboucha, and the desert became an oasis.
