$5,000 grew into a forest: American donor returns to China to reunite with desert reclamation partner_我的网站
A | －－今の皇室についてお尋ねします。成年皇族として活動を始められた悠仁さまをどのようにご覧になっていますか。上皇さまは昨年2度入院されましたが、ご夫妻の体調への受け止めや最近のご様子についてお聞かせください。【写真】天皇ご一家の新しい愛猫「美海」 「悠仁親王は、昨年、成年式の諸行事をつつがなく終えることができました。
At 2:48 am on early Sunday morning, after a flight of more than 10 hours, Ronald Sakolsky arrived at Beijing Capital International Airport. As he stepped into the arrivals hall, he greeted the waiting reporters with earnest Putonghua "Wo hui lai le," meaning "I'm back."
The thrill of his homecoming had washed over him most vividly during the final moments of his flight. "When I saw the lights in Beijing as we were landing is when I realized that I am back in my second home."
Sakolsky, an American retired teacher from Pennsylvania, is visiting China from Sunday to September 1 for a journey that will take him to Beijing, North China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and Central China's Henan Province. It is a reunion nearly three decades in the making.
That reunion began with a single act of generosity. In 1999, when Sakolsky arrived in China as a participant in a bilateral teacher exchange program, he was moved by Yin Yuzhen and her husband's tireless efforts to curb desertification in the Mu Us Desert in Inner Mongolia. He raised $5,000 to fund their local tree-planting initiative. The young saplings bought with the donation have since matured into more than 50,000 full-grown trees, transforming the once desolate, sandy wasteland into a thriving green landscape.
After decades of lost contact, Yin, a national model worker renowned for her desert restoration achievements, launched an online search for her American benefactor in May, hoping to reconnect with the man who helped launch her lifelong desert reclamation mission.
What followed was a remarkable wave of online support: within less than 48 hours, a nationwide search had tracked Sakolsky down. That swift effort led to their long-awaited virtual reunion, a video call that brought them face to face for the first time in 27 years.
Asked what he is most looking forward to about this journey, Sakolsky told the Global Times that "I want to see Ms Yin, see the forests, see the students I have not seen for almost 30 years, my colleagues. I want to see the Chinese people."
The trip itself felt like a dream he never thought would come true, he added.
Now, the dream is about to come true. Later on Sunday, Sakolsky will fly to Ordos, Inner Mongolia, the site of the transformative environmental project that bound his fate with Yin's all those years ago.
During his China visit, Sakolsky will join Yin in a new tree-planting activity. He will also hold exchanges and discussions with teachers and students from the Luoyang No.2 Foreign Language School where he once taught, and participate in official China-US teacher exchange events, according to the Xinhua News Agency.
As he prepares to see the transformed landscape with his own eyes, Sakolsky shared with the Global Times about how much China itself has changed over the past two decades. From photographs, he said, he had already seen the barren desert he remembered turn into lush green forests; he had also heard that Luoyang has become far more vibrant and beautiful.
"Hopefully the message gets out to the world that Chinese and Americans can work together and make a peaceful world," he said.
。立派に成長した姿を見て、うれしく思っています。小さい時から甥（おい）として成長を見守ってきましたが、近頃は、都内や地方への訪問であったり、外国の方々との交流であったり、皇室の一員としての務めを果たしてくれていることを頼もしく思っています」 「悠仁親王には、大学生活を通して、様々な人と出会い、自身の将来をしっかりと見つめつつ、実り多い学生生活を送ってほしいと願っています。私自身の経験からも、大学時代にした勉学を含む様々な経験は、その後の人生にも、とても役立っていると感じます。悠仁親王には、今、この時にしかできないことを大切にしながら、これからも一つ一つの経験を積み重ね、人間的にも、また皇室の一員としても成長していってほしいと、見守っていきたいと思っています」 「上皇上皇后両陛下には、私たちを変わらず温かくお見守りいただいていることに感謝申し上げます。昨年、戦後80年に当たって、各地への訪問を重ねた際には、これまで上皇上皇后両陛下が、どれほど先の大戦を重く受け止められ、何よりも平和を大切に思われながら心を砕いてこられてきたかを、改めて思いを深く致しました」 「上皇陛下には、昨年7月に無症候性心筋虚血の治療のために入院されましたので御案じしておりましたが、その後は比較的安定した状態でお過ごしになっていると伺っております。
B | 昨年12月の上皇陛下のお誕生日や、雅子の誕生日、そして今年の正月と、両陛下にそろってお会いし、お健やかにお過ごしの御様子を拝見することができ、うれしく思っております。上皇上皇后両陛下が長年にわたって果たしてこられたお務めに、改めて深い敬意を覚えるとともに、これからも、くれぐれもお体を大切になさりながら、末永く健やかにお過ごしになりますよう、心から願っております」 －－皇族数が減少をする中、秋篠宮さまは昨年の記者会見で「全体的な公的な活動の規模を縮小するしか、今はないのではないか」との認識を示されています。陛下は皇室全体の活動の在り方や皇室の役割、これまでも度々言及されている「時代に即した新しい公務」について、どのようにお考えでしょうか。
