Desert reunion for US donor and Chinese woman who planted 50,000 trees

Twenty-seven years ago, an American teacher saw a Chinese woman on TV planting trees in the desert. He sent her $5,000. She planted 50,000 trees. He got something money could never buy: A friendship, a purpose, and a new understanding of China. Now, Ronald Sakolsky and Yin Yuzhen have finally met in person. And the trees are still standing. 00:00 - Intro 01:55 - 'Miracle' reunion after 27 years 06:45- Memories that never faded 10:55 - Lessons learned from China since 1999 13:05 - Keeping promises 16:40 - CGTN's role in the story 📺 Subscribe to our YouTube channel and stay updated with our latest analysis and interviews:👇 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgrNz-aDmcr2uuto8_DL2jg 👈 Download our APP on Apple Store (iOS): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cctvnews-app/id922456579?l=zh&ls=1&mt=8 Download our APP on Google Play (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imib.cctv For more: https://www.cgtn.com/video Most watched videos: Impossible Challenge: 30 seconds to count banknotes BLINDFOLDED https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmP_Ybj-jws Impossible Challenge: Gymnastics Boy Arat Hosseini from Iran! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sxX--U4c8w Impossible Challenge: How to calm babies in 5 seconds? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kR3q9sXM7WA
