Shiguang Chronicle | Xi recalls China-US friendship forged in fight against desertification

At a state dinner hosted by US President Donald Trump at the White House in Washington, DC on Thursday evening, Chinese President Xi Jinping recalled the story of Ronald Sakolsky, an American who more than 20 years ago gave financial support to Chinese desert control worker Yin Yuzhen for her tree-planting effort. Xi said their story has touched the hearts of many Chinese people and stands as a shining example of the friendly exchanges between the two peoples. (Compiled by Zhu Yingqi and intern Cao Yang)
