2023-07-24
"There are thousands of years old tea trees here? It's rare to see them in the north!" Recently, when the production team of the major revolutionary historical documentary "Far Away - In Search of the Real Norman Bethune" came to Chegutou Village, Lingshou County, Hebei Province, everyone was attracted by the beautiful scenery of mountains surrounded by streams, and was even more shocked by this thousand year old tea tree. From February to October 1939, Norman Bethune, an international friend, visited the village many times to see the wounded soldiers and local people. A sign of "Norman Bethune's Former Residence" was hung at a residential area. Welcome to this place before and after May Day next year, when ancient trees are blooming and the fragrance of flowers is overflowing, it's incredibly beautiful. "Chen Chunfang, a representative of the National People's Congress and the Party branch secretary and village committee director of Chegulu Village, invited the filming team members. Chegu Tuo Village is located deep in Taihang Mountains. Tuo River runs through the village, which is one of the important gateways from Hebei to Shanxi. The ancient Great Wall and the ancient fort are still well preserved. According to statistics, in addition to the thousand year old tea trees, the village has more than 100 ancient trees more than 100 years old and more than 200 trees more than 50 years old, with Forest cover of more than 95%. According to the Records of Lingshou County, "in the first year of Guangshun (951), Taizu of Zhou ordered Li Jinqing of Xingshun Military Academy to lead his staff to Ma Rong Lingshou to prevent the Khitan." During the period when Li Jinqing led the army to garrison Lingshou, he brought this ancient tea tree, left a history of "tea moving from south to north", and also benefited the people deep in the mountains. Relevant experts told the reporter that the rare millennial ancient tea tree growing on the south bank of Tuo River in Chegu Tuo Village is also known as the tassel tree. The Chionanthus of Oleaceae is also called the tea tree because its flowers and young leaves can make tea and can be used as medicine. The tree is 25 meters tall, with a circumference of 3.4 meters and a crown width of 17 meters. It has a history of over 1100 years and is one of the "Top Ten Most Beautiful Ancient Trees" in Hebei Province. "There is a hole in the heart of the tree, and the bark of the tree is broken seriously, so save this ancient tea tree!" In early March 2022, Chen Chunfang found that there was a hole in the hole of the ancient tea tree, and the tree had a bark explosion, and the branches and leaves became sparse. So he called the Lingshou County Procuratorate, hoping to take the opportunity of the procuratorial organ to carry out a special public interest litigation activity to protect ancient and famous trees, and urge relevant departments to strengthen protection, Take effective measures to eliminate safety hazards related to tree growth. After receiving Chen Chunfang's clues, the Lingshou County Procuratorate immediately sent prosecutors to the scene for on-site inspection. The prosecutor found that the situation reported by Chen Chunfang is true, and the ancient tea trees lack effective protection measures. The relevant departments have not designated the protection scope, set up protection facilities, and the protection signs have not indicated the age, protection level, and person responsible for maintenance. On March 22, 2022, the procuratorate of Lingshou County will file an administrative public interest lawsuit against the above problem of inadequate protection of ancient trees, and then issue a procuratorial proposal to the County Natural Resources and Planning Bureau, suggesting that the potential safety hazards of tree growth be eliminated as soon as possible, and that the protection scope and facilities be set up around the ancient tea trees; Further clarify the maintenance responsibility, sign a responsibility letter with the maintenance responsible person, and standardize the daily maintenance of ancient trees; Increase publicity efforts for the protection of ancient trees, enhance public awareness of protection, and work together to protect ancient tree resources. "After receiving the procuratorial suggestions, our bureau attached great importance to them and hired professionals for field investigation and technical guidance." On May 30 of the same year, Lingshou County
