Zhao Jingtian, 69, lives in Changyu Mountain Village, Changli County, Hebei Province. For more than 30 years, he has planted apple trees, pear trees, cherry trees and other fruit trees on nearly 100 mu of barren mountain land. Today this barren mountain has become a "mountain of flowers and fruit," yielding good economic returns, and local people call Zhao Jingtian a "Yu Gong" of the new era.
