It would appear that there are challenges associated with planting a tree. However, this actually requires a lot of effort. Even if a man is an adult and in good health, he still needs strength to dig a hole, fill it with water, plant a seedling in it, and then put soil on top. How is it for the elderly and those in poor health?
Our story today is about a man who planted approximately 17 thousand trees despite his age and health limitations.
Martin, a 70-year-old resident of Mayu Village who has been engaged in extremely noble pursuits for 20 years, is a retired doctor. He tends to trees. Martin has planted a huge forest over the years.
Martin had a childhood ambition to join the military.He joined the army as soon as he finished school.
He went back to his house, got a job teaching, and then started farming. The infection gradually carried out its evil deed: Martin lost both of her legs.
Since 2000, the Chinese man regularly rides a moped to work outside the village early in the morning when the sun is just rising.
He carries a shovel, pickaxe, and sufficient food for the entire day. Martin crawls to plant trees, removes the prosthetics, puts on gloves, and arrives at the location.
It’s difficult and dangerous at the same time.
Representatives of the local government learned about Sanxiao’s noble activities. They paid off all of the loans the Martin family had. However, he continued to plant trees himself.
However, the man now performs it out of gratitude. Additionally, he states that he intends to expand the number of green spaces until his passing.
Naturally, the time will come when Martin will leave this world.However, his name and these thousands of new trees will always be remembered. Martin, a simple, strong-willed man, deserves a humble bow.
