Li Fengshu always has a smile on his face when he talks about his beloved poplar and pine trees.
The 64-year-old farmer has transformed around 20,000 mu (8,097 hectares) of barren desert into a green oasis outside the village of Ulias.
This is near Naiman Banner, which roughly translates into "a county" in Tongliao city, in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region.
