    This is a tale of two friends—one is blind,and the other has no arms. On their own,the two are “disabled But together,they are a powerful team that has changed part of their village in North China’s Hebei Province into a rich,green forest.Meet 53-year-old Jia Haixia and Jia Wenqi!

   Their story began in 2000,when Haixia,who was already blind in his right eye,lost his left one after an illness. Wenqi lost his arms in an accident when he was just three.Neither could find a job,so the two decided to team up. They rented some poor land and began to plant trees. In return,the local officials paid them a small fee.

   Haixia and Wenqi never imagined that they would end up creating an environmental paradise. Their forest now has over 10 ,000 trees,hundreds of birds and many other wild animals. In addition,it saves the village from river flooding during the rainy season.

   When the friends work together,they focus on their strengths not their disabilities. Their day begins at 7 a. m. when Wenqi carries the sightless Haixia across the river to get to their worksite. Since they cannot afford to buy young trees to plant,the two use branches from existing trees. Haixia climbs to the treetop and with Wenqi^ direction,se?lects the perfect branch. He then digs a hole and carefully plants it. Finally Wenqi waters the area.

Though hardworking,the men don't make much money. But as Wenqi puts it, “We stand on our own feet,so the fruits of our work taste sweeter."

   Neither Haixia nor Wenqi cares about money. Together,they already have everything they need—a perfect pair of eyes,two strong hands,and the best friendship in the world!
