THE YELLOW RIVER
The Yellow River is the second longest river of China.  We like to call her our mother river.  In Shanxi Province, there is a famous waterfall on the Yellow River:  the Hukou Waterfall.
The song goes:

How many turns are there
On the Yellow River?
Ninety-nine turns
......
As you can tell, life in this area is not easy.  Although the Yellow River passes nearby, there is not sufficient water for this dry land, featured by the dry, yellow soil.  We went there for a weekend to help plant some trees in the hope that some will survive and grow and eventually, there will be a positive change in climate.  It's not easy, we know, but listen, here comes another song:

Oh the big red fruit, the skin is thin
Everybody is talking about you and me
There really is nothing between us
Sigh, a good girl got a bad name
