    • 1978 June, Staff Reporter, “Turning the Yellow Hills Green”, in China Reconstructs, volume XXVII, number 6, Peking, →OCLC, page 30:
      THE road in Chunhua county, Shensi province was lined with poplar trees. Waiting at a bus stop beneath one of them was a woman commune member with a child of four or five. The child kept running among the young trees, occasionally shaking them. "Don't do that," the mother scolded. "Everybody takes care of the trees and you should too."
      In fact, most of the roads in Chunhua county are now lined with trees and most of the people do feel about them like this farm mother.
