From Army Green to Forest Green: The Life Palette of the Zhao Family
Zhao Baoshan’s father, Zhao Chunyang, and mother, Cui Jiaju, left their mountain village in Zigui County in the 1970s, backpacked into these vast mountains, and dedicated their lives here. After five years of military tempering and facing the temptations of the bustling secular world, Zhao Baoshan resolutely chose to return, becoming a “son of the mountains” guarding the green hills. His story is a microcosm of a family intrinsically linked to a mountain range, and a simple, steadfast adherence to faith by a generation amidst the torrents of time.2025-12-26

The Mountains Forge a Poem, A Silent Guardian of the Green Heart— In Commemoration of Li Pinhong, a Ranger in the Candidate Area of Shennongjia National Park
Shennongjia in deep winter is a tapestry of layered peaks.Covered by heavy snow it was dressed into a vast white landscape. Setting out from Wuhan via high-speed rail, then switching to a long bus journey along winding roads, followed by a car ride—a nearly ten-hour trek finally brought this reporter to the heart of the candidate area for Shennongjia National Park: the Shuihe Management & Conservation Center of the Laojunshan Agency of the Administration of Shennongjia National Park. The city's clamour had long been washed away by the forest wind, leaving only the murmur of the Shuihe River. At the path's end, a tall, lean figure waved warmly. He was the subject of this visit: Li Pinhong, a ranger from the post-80s generation. This lengthy journey mirrored the decade he has spent silently taking root here, guarding the ecological barrier of the Roof of Central China.2026-02-01

"Gathering Strength from Role Models, Illuminating with Exemplary Glory" — Advanced Figures of Shennongjia National Park (Part V)
In 1995, 19-year-old Jiang Huazhen first stepped into the Shennongjia Nature Reserve. Living in wooden plank houses, hiking deep into the mountains, cooking over an open flame — she went from clumsy apprentice to capable protector. The sealed specimens she made in 2012 remain perfectly preserved after ten years, hailed as “technically superb.” Today, the 21,232 mu (about 1,415 hectares) of forest she patrols bears the imprint of her steadfast footsteps. Over thirty years, this second-generation forest worker has turned youth into story. “In Shennongjia,” she says, “every moment is a blessing, and every inch of time is filled with contentment.”2025-07-29

Understanding perseverance through patrolling on the rough road
When I stepped into the bushes wearing my Jiefang brand green shoes, I realized that patrolling was not just about walking in the forest. Sharp tree branches cut my palms, moss made the stone steps wet and slippery, and the bruises on my knees are the "medals" given to me by the mountains.2025-06-12

Efforts to Pass the Baton as a New-Generation Forest Guardian
“Isn’t patrol as easy as hill hiking?”, “Patrol is actually a little tiring”, “Don’t wanna patrol again.” All these monologues embodied my changing attitude towards the hardships of forest rangers from initial unbelief to true empathy with them after my first joint patrol since I joined Shennongjia National Park over a year ago.2025-03-06
