Shashiyu was once a poor village in Hebei Province，but now it has changed into a rich and livable place.
In the 1940s，villagers in Shashiyu had little food and few clothes，but they had a strong wish for a better life.Zhang Guishun，the Party secretary of Shashiyu，encouraged his villagers to do their best to pull themselves out of poverty. "In the ancient Chinese story，Yu Gong could move mountains with his strong will and hard work，why can't we？Nobody was born to be poor？" Hearing his words，the villagers decided to make a difference.
Led by the Communist Party of China（中国共产党），the villagers carried water and soil to their village from faraway places to improve their land.From 1966 to.1971，they reclaimed（开垦）lots of land and greatly improved their life.
However，the village encountered a new problem two decades later as the environment became heavily polluted by chemical plants and mine refineries built in 1990s.

After 10 years，the village was called "National Forest Village".

More tigers are moving from Russia into northeastern China. This is because the environment is better for them to live in.
As human activities become less and the number of the wild animals is rising, tigers come to China for food.
Also, there is a cross-border corridor（跨境走廊）between China and Russia. It helps the tigers travel around freely. Data（数据）from a research team show that between 2013 and 2016, nearly 80 percent of the tigers moved across the corridor.
Besides, China started a number of projects to protect the tigers. As we all know, tigers need large areas to move around, so it’s important to build national parks. In 2021, the Northeast China Tiger and Leopard National Park was set up in Heilongjiang Province and Jilin Province. It covers around 14,100 square kilometers. The national park creates a shared home for the animals. As a result, the number of the tigers has grown.
One more reason is that experts from China and Russia work together to research on tiger protection. Many volunteers go to protect tigers around the forests every year. It’s believed that there will be more tigers in the near future.
