Helpfulness
Just north of the town, between the houses and the Yellow River is an old orchard with pear and walnut trees. The trees here are around 200 years old, and their gnarled tweisted trunks could tell a few stories if they could talk.
Today, the small orchard has been fenced in to protect it. A Lanzhou entrepreneur is building a wooden house at one side of the orchard. Normally I would be horrified at such action, but having met the man - and seen the plans - it seems that this development will save the orchard. The construction is sympathetic to the surroundings, using local stone and wood.
