Village chief hires 6 people to dig for 3 days to rescue a thousand-year-old crape myrtle tree that guards the village, and villagers give him a thumbs-up

Rescuing a thousand-year-old crape myrtle tree that guards the village for road construction, the village chief hired 6 people to dig for 3 days, and villagers all gave him a thumbs-up!

With the rapid development of society, the rural economy has also undergone earth-shaking changes. In particular, rural road construction, which has long troubled rural areas, has always been a worry for farmers and a topic to which the government attaches great importance and concern. Today, our rural infrastructure has made considerable progress. Even a poor village like ours has undergone earth-shaking changes compared with 5 years ago.

Today, the last 5.8 kilometers of village-level road in our village are also being rapidly pushed forward. However, because our village has a special geographical location and steep mountain terrain, after repeated surveys and verification, the traffic surveyors decided to plan the route from the east side of our village. This would pass by the thousand-year-old tree that has guarded our village for generations. This thousand-year-old tree is the crape myrtle (Lagerstroemia indica) we all know.

For the future development of our village, after learning the news, the village chief attached great importance to this issue. He immediately convened the village three committees for discussion, and also convened the village heads of each group, well-known figures in the village, and intellectuals for many exchanges and communications, and then decided to transplant this thousand-year-old tree immediately. This is because this thousand-year-old tree has guarded our ancestors for more than a thousand years and is regarded by the villagers as their patron saint. Every year during festivals, they burn incense and worship here.

Once the villagers learned of this move, they all gave a thumbs-up to the village's decision. So the village chief raised funds himself and hired 5 professionals, and it took 3 days of digging to complete it. As the head of the village, he personally supervised the work on site every day. It can be said that the work in every aspect was done quite meticulously.

In order for the transplanted old crape myrtle tree to regain its vitality and vigor as soon as possible, he also spent a lot of time and energy. In addition to doing the work of poverty alleviation and lifting farmers out of poverty in the countryside, he also had to take time to manage this ancient tree. It can be said that such a good leader deserves a thumbs-up from each of us. Today, under his organization, leadership, and management, this ancient tree that protects the village house has survived and sprouted new buds. For such a contribution, it would not be an exaggeration to give him half the credit.

Do you have such an ancient tree in your village? There is an old saying: predecessors plant trees so later generations can enjoy the shade. In today's era of rapid economic development, we cannot stop the path of construction, but the path of protecting ancient trees must be taken. To this end, we must put in more hard work and do a good job in protecting ancient trees. Regarding this issue, as a member of the village or as someone who loves bonsai trees, what is your view?
