Tight hug after 27 years: Reunion across ocean, marking China-US folk friendship_我的网站

一 |     我们输了！北京时间8月17日晚，男篮热身赛，中国男篮对阵新西男篮，最终中国队77-84惜败给了新西兰队，这场比赛，首发的赵继伟0分！不是胡金秋13分、他得分全队最高：廖三宁17分，此外焦泊乔拿到了14分！这场比赛，中国队在多个方面做得都不好，比如三分球、比如篮板球。         中国队此前和乌拉圭队进行了两场热身赛，第一场险胜，第二场则是遭遇了一场惨败，球队暴露了太多的问题，包括进攻、防守都存在不足。

A long-awaited reunion that captured wide public attention unfolded on Sunday evening when American teacher Ronald Sakolsky and Yin Yuzhen, a model worker renowned for planting trees and combating desertification, reunited and embraced tearfully with overwhelming emotion at an airport in Ordos, North China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, after 27 years of separation across the ocean.
The reunion began with a single act of generosity in 1999. When Sakolsky arrived in China as a participant in a China-US education exchange program, he was moved by Yin and her husband's tireless efforts to curb desertification in the Mu Us Desert in Inner Mongolia. He raised $5,000 to fund their local tree-planting initiative. The young saplings they bought with the donation have since matured into more than 50,000 full-grown trees, transforming the once desolate, sandy wasteland into a thriving green landscape.
This hug, transcending time and distance, marked not only friendship between the two countries, but also showcased the sincerity of Chinese people and a green miracle made possible through continuous joint efforts.

At 2:48 am on early Sunday morning, Ronald Sakolsky arrived at Beijing Capital International Airport after over 10 hours of flight. As he stepped into the arrivals hall, he greeted the waiting reporters with earnest Putonghua "Wo hui lai le," meaning "I'm back."
"When I saw the lights in Beijing as we were landing is when I realized that I am back in my second home." 
Asked what he is most looking forward to about this journey, Sakolsky told the Global Times that "I want to see Ms Yin, see the forests, see the students I have not seen for almost 30 years, my colleagues. I want to see the Chinese people." 
He then flew to Ordos for the meeting with his desert reclamation partner. 
Yin waited at the arrival gate at the airport in Ordos very early, murmuring English sentence she particularly learned for this occasion - "Welcome to China, my brother." Her eyes were fixed on the escalator and she wiped away her tears multiple times during the wait, the Global Times reporter observed. 
Sakolsky said in earlier interview with the Global Times that he was looking forward to this reunion and could not hold his tears back when he thought of the moment. He was about to give Yin a hug when they meet. 
When Sakolsky finally appeared in front of Yin, their eyes welled up. Stepping off the elevator, Sakolsky could barely contain his excitement, muttering "Oh my God, oh my God." They hurried toward each other and locked in a tight embrace at last - the long-awaited hug 27 years in the making. 
"This is a dream come true, from a lady who is the hero of the story, not me," Sakolsky told the Global Times at the airport, barely holding his emotion. "She made a promise 27 years ago, and she kept her promise." 
Talking about his donation almost three decades ago, Sakolsky said the purpose was to help her, "because she was beautifying the motherland." 
Now, in response to an invitation to return to China for a trip to see the green planting from his donation and to returning to the city of Luoyang, Central China's Henan Province, where he taught in the exchange program for several years, Sakolsky noted that "China had done so much for me that I wanted to say thank you to China."
A return of kindness 
For this reunion after 27 years, Yin had carefully prepared. Steamed buns, meaning "upward," fresh vegetables and fruits picked in the land transformed from desert.
Yin, never familiar with any foreign language, learned some English phrases, including "welcome to China" she practiced, "my brother" to greet Sakolsky, and "more, more" to persuade the American friend to eat more. 
On Sunday, Yin did her hair and wore a red scarf alongside an outfit with a green shade, which she picked particularly for the reunion, as "green is the color of the Earth," as she told the Global Times.
Yin is not the only old friend that was looking forward to the reunion. 
While Sakolsky was still on his over-10-hour flight from the US to Beijing, Bai Fan was also on the way - driving over 850 kilometers from Luoyang to Inner Mongolia. The journey would take a day and a half. 
Bai was the vice principal of Luoyang Foreign Language School, overseeing international affairs. Sakolsky was an exchange teacher there through a China-US program, and was Bai's "neighbor right across the hall."
Why drive such a distance? Bai had prepared special cultural gifts - peony porcelain and Hanguan Kiln purple clay tea ware, distinctive local handicrafts that proved too bulky and fragile for air travel or high-speed rail. 
Bai recalled Sakolsky's continuous interest in Chinese culture, and sending a replica of Terracotta Warriors to the US at Sakolsky's request. "I hope he can take these Luoyang elements and Chinese symbols to the world," Bai told the Global Times in a phone interview on Sunday. 
Bai is also eager to see Sakolsky at a place that they had traveled together 27 years ago. When Sakolsky came to Luoyang for the exchange program, Bai was his designated liaison. Together, they traveled to the heart of the Mu Us Desert to deliver the $5,000 donation.
Bai still vividly remembers the desolate desert back then, where finger-thin saplings were watered ladle by ladle by Yin. At that time, Sakolsky had constant concerns about whether the tiny saplings could survive in the wasteland, which makes today's sprawling 50,000-tree forest even more miraculous.
The changed and unchanged 
Things have changed over the past 27 years. While waiting for Sakolsky, Yin jokingly said he got less hair, and she would not be able to recognize him if running up to him on street. 
The passage of time has brought far more than personal aging, according to Bai, another witness to the decades-long changes. "Everyone is growing older. Our families have expanded with more children, local communities have grown in population, and the surrounding environment is constantly evolving, just as our cities are undergoing profound transformations." 
On a night tour in Ordos on Sunday, Sakolsky, watching a fountain light show, said that "it is a 21st century city, but it looks like a 22nd century city. In the 2000s, Chinese government made a promise to Chinese people to beatify this country, and they succeeded." 
For Sakolsky, probably the most profound transformation lies in the depth of his human connection forged. 
"27 years ago, we were just friends and acquaintances. We are brother and sister now. So much has happened since then, but the important thing is many people have seen the story and now they can also help to make China beautiful," he told the reporters. 
Through joint efforts of people like Yin, the Mu Us Desert has turned from wasteland into a green oasis. China has contributed about 25 percent of the world's newly added green areas and taken the lead in achieving zero growth in land degradation, per official data. 
Meanwhile, there are things unchanged, including a vintage photo of the three standing in the desert that has decorated Bai's office through all these years - a permanent reminder of their original aspiration. 
This reunion will witness them retake the classic photo and plant new saplings together, expanding their green mission.

二 | 从世界排名来看，新西兰队的排名比乌拉圭队还要高，这支球队的打法也是比较凶悍，身体对抗和快攻也比较出色。         中国队和新西兰队并不陌生，两队在去年的亚洲杯半决赛还有过交手，当时的中国队大胜晋级决赛，但是在亚洲杯夺得亚军之后，中国队的成绩并不好，包括了在世预赛输给日本队、韩国队，和亚洲杯上的球队判若两队。因此这场和新西兰队的交手，结果还真的不好说。

三 |          中国队首发：赵继伟、胡金秋、贺希宁、王俊杰、朱俊龙。第一节新西兰队拿到了球权，第一次出手三分就打进，中国队连续外线不中、还好的是胡金秋连续篮下打成，朱俊龙的高难度跳投也有了，韦伯斯特状态火热连得5分，中国队开局在三分连续打铁，中国队打得有些着急了。还是胡金秋在篮下持续打进、比较稳定的得分点，当时韦伯斯特的三分又续上了，中国队对于他的防守不够好，被新西兰队连续的二次进攻得手，13-8打停了中国队。贺希宁对抗强攻艰难止血、但新西兰队迅速反击，中国队外线还是打不开，而且又连续丢后场篮板球。焦泊乔总算是投中了中国队第一个三分球，赵嘉义和贺希宁连得5分追到了1分，首节中国队19-20落后了1分。         第二节廖三宁罚球反超，新西兰队又连续得分，焦泊乔在篮下打得还是很积极的，廖三宁一条龙篮下打进、领先4分打停了新西兰队。暂停后新西兰队直接是打出了一波13-0的小高潮再度反超回来，中国队陷入得分荒，郭士强只能是请求暂停。赵嘉义的三分终于是止血了，韦伯斯特的压哨也能投中、个人能力真是太强了！庞峥麟和赵嘉义连续三分，中国队咬住了比分，新西兰队也叫了暂停。韦伯斯特及时止住颓势，李弘权造成了三分犯规，半场过后中国队落后4分。         下半场第三节，中国队刚打进2分、新西兰队又连得5分，中国队在篮下连续的漏人，新西兰队一波小高潮领先到了13分。中国队陷入到了运动战得分荒，胡金秋的空位中投也不中，新西兰队的进攻成功率很高，打停了中国队。中国队的跑动不够，大部分时间是一人打、四人看，郭士强也是再度让庞峥麟登场，庞峥麟刚上来就投中三分球，好不容易追到10分，结果又被对手反击，王俊杰连续强攻篮下打成、个人连得了6分追到10分，乔斯突破高打板再中，三节过后中国队落后12分。         第四节中国队迅速追到个位数，但连续丢掉后场篮板球，焦泊乔换下了胡金秋，中国队的小范围手递手传球又直接被抢断。焦泊乔转身命中追到了6分，新西兰队得分荒、他们的体能遇到了不小的问题，焦泊乔和廖三宁追到2分、打停新西兰队。

四 | 穆尔斯的抛投终于止血，新西兰队稳定局面，还是有惊无险击败了中国队。
