In a forest just outside Beijing，friends Li Xing and Sun Lian are digging. "Today is March 12'.It's Tree Planting Day." explains Sun Lian. "In China，people all over the country plant trees on this day."
The idea of an annual day for planting trees was first put forward in 1911 by Sun Yat-sen，the great pioneer in China's history.He said more trees were needed as a protection against flood and drought （旱澇災(zāi)害）.In 1915，the government named April 5th as Tree Planting Day.Then，in 1979，the day was changed to March 12th，to remember the date on which Sun Yat-sen died.The whole country plants trees on this day.In the last ten years，65 billion trees have been planted across China.
"Everyone has heard of the Great Wall of China." says Xing. "But have you heard of the Green Wall of China？That's the biggest tree planting program of all." The Gobi Desert in the north of China is growing every year.Terrible sandstorms blow away soil，making more land dry and useless.In 1978，a tree planting program began to try to stop the Gobi from spreading.The government and local farmers are planting millions of trees in a great green "wall" along the edge of the desert.When it is finished in 2050，it will be 4，500 kilometers long.
"Tree planting is a tradition in China now." says Sun Lian. "Everyone does it on March 12th but many people also plant a tree on a day that is special just for them.My parents planted trees when I started school and we planted one on my cousin's wedding day.We do it for the environment and for ourselves."
