A retired American educator returns to China after 26 years — Ronald Sakolsky writes about it in China Daily.
China's afforestation hero Yin Yuzhen spent 40 years fighting the desert in Maowusu Sandy Land, where Ronald once planted trees with her. Today that barren land is a forest. And his students from 27 years ago? Grown, thriving, still calling him Mr Sakolsky.
