A blind man named Jia Haixia and his
friend, a double amputee with no arms named Jia Wenqi, have spent more
than 10 years replanting trees to revive the once-barren environment
around Yeli Village in northeastern China.
Haixia was born blind in one eye and
lost the other in 2000 in a work-related accident. Wenqi lost both of
his arms in an accident when he was only 3 years old. Together, they’ve
leased 8 acres of land from the government and have begun replanting the
land with trees to protect the village from flooding.
