About the Book
How should a person spend their life? How big is a person’s world? Scientist Wang Tao gave his answer. He has a patriotic heart and has made remarkable achievements in China’s desert and desertification control with his lifelong dedication, bringing hope to people living on the edge of the desert, in the midst of desertification and sandstorms. In Wang Tao’s world, there is only the desolation of the desert, without the desolation of life. He fought silently in the desert world, not for fame and fortune, practicing the infinite loyalty of a scientist to his country and people with sweat, tears, and blood. He is the hero of our great era!
