What is the list of the first generation Saihanba in The Most Beautiful Youth?

Chen Yanxian worked in a forest farm all her life. At that time, the road was tortuous and there were sand dunes on both sides. Walking on the road is like walking through an alley made of sand. Today, it is lush.

"The tree has grown tall again. I can hardly recognize it." Outside the window, the trees were flying, and Chen Yanxian couldn't help singing the ballad of that year: "1962, when I entered the forest farm, it was good, good, and the educated youth came to Saihanba in high spirits and made great achievements."

1964, 20-year-old Chen Yanxian is in high school in Chengde City, Hebei Province. Her neighbor Liu is the director of Saihanba Mechanical Forest Farm.

"Respond to the call of the country and plant trees!" That summer, I heard that the forest farm had just been established and afforestation needed manpower. With the ideal of "going where the motherland needs it most", Chen Yanxian and her roommates wrote a "cover letter" to the director.

After a month, after receiving the employment reply, the girls picked up their bedrolls, got on the big truck and went to the forest farm. After two days and nights of turbulence, when I got off the bus, my eyes were desolate, and there were not even a few decent houses in the field. "At that time, I lived in warehouses and shacks, drank ditch water and ate potatoes and pickles." Michelle Chen recalled.

After the girls got on the dam, they were assigned to work in the nursery of the forest farm, and at first they poured excrement in the nursery. "Not to mention the heavy dung bucket, we not only have to endure the unpleasant smell, but also keep up with everyone's rhythm and spin around in the same place." At the end of the day, the girls were so tired that their backs ached and their legs ached, and they felt weak all over.

In winter, the temperature on the dam is often MINUS 40 degrees Celsius, and the strong wind is accompanied by snowflakes, which makes people breathless. Forest farm workers went up the mountain to clean up the residual wood to prepare for afforestation in the coming year. The heavy snow didn't reach the knees, and everyone had to walk six or seven miles on their backs to get to the mountain. The male workers are responsible for cutting the residual wood, and the girls tie the wood with ropes and drag it down the mountain. The snow is deep and there is no road, so you should drag it with all your strength.

"We are very competitive and the game is coming. You drag more than you, and I drag more than you. The cotton-padded jacket was soaked with sweat. " After more than a month's efforts, Chen Yanxian and her colleagues were deeply impressed.

1977, 570,000 mu of forest land in the forest farm suffered from the "rainy season" disaster; A drought occurred in 1980, and120,000 mu of trees died of drought. Chen Yanxian reforested with them. "At that time, no matter how difficult the conditions were and what difficulties we encountered, we all survived, that is, we must stick to it and manage the tree species well."

The car stopped at the lookout on the mountain, and Chen Yanxian picked up her mobile phone to take pictures. After retirement, one of her great pleasures is to go back to the forest farm and watch the trees grow tall, just like watching her children grow up.

Someone asked Chen Yanxian if she could start over, would she choose to take root in Saihanba:

In fact, she has answered this question with action. 1976, Chen Yanxian's mother found her a receiving unit in Chengde, and came to Bashang to let her daughter go back. Chen Yanxian chose to stay in Saihanba, and she was reluctant to part with this thriving forest.

"Saihanba people exchanged youth, sweat and life for this million mu of forest. We have completed the task entrusted to us by the motherland and are proud of it for a lifetime! " Chen Yanxian smiled.
