Who are you for donating money to protect the ecology of the Yangtze River every month for 23 years？ Where are you？

■ Tracing back to the source of millions of square kilometers of river basins, we will find that the magnificent Yangtze River, Yellow River and Lancang River all originate from one place — — Located in the hinterland of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the source of the Three Rivers. The source of the Three Rivers seems far away from the city where we live, but for every handful of water we scooped up downstream, maybe some of it comes from the source of the Three Rivers.

　　■ In 1995, Yang Xin established an environmental protection organization — — Sichuan Green River Environmental Protection Promotion Association (referred to as Green River) began to carry out environmental and ecological protection work in the source area of the Yangtze River with non-governmental forces. On this road, there are thousands of people in Qian Qian who walk with Yang Xin, but there is one person who has always been moved by his concern and urged him to move forward.

　　■ This person has never appeared. Is it a person or a group? Is it a man or a woman, and what kind of occupation is it? Yang Xin doesn’t even know, except that since 2000, this person’s donation has come from Guizhou, starting from 10 yuan to 20 yuan every month and then to 30 yuan every month, and it has never stopped for 23 years. On the money order, only one name is left: "Panjiang Green". This made Yang Xin and others very moved: Only by sincerely loving the Yangtze River can we have such persistence.

　　■ On August 30th, Yang Xin told the Chengdu Business Daily-Red Star journalist that he hadn’t thought about looking for "Riverside Green", but he couldn’t start without clues. He hopes that more people can look for "Panjiang Green" together and find each other on the premise of respecting their wishes. He also expects that this search will awaken more people’s awareness and actions of eco-environmental protection, and more "Yangtze River Green" will emerge to pay attention to the Yangtze River and participate in eco-environmental protection in China.

　　Nearly 30 years of persistence

　　"Protecting the first person in the Yangtze River" has never thought of retreating.

　　In 1986, Yang Xin, who was only 23 years old, joined the "China Yangtze River Scientific Investigation and Drifting Expedition" as an accountant and participated in the first "Yangtze River Drifting". Since then, Yang Xin has visited and filmed the Yangtze River source area many times. In this process, he discovered ecological problems that can’t be ignored: Tibetan antelopes were killed, grassland degraded, glaciers melted, and garbage pollution … … In the 1990s, Sonam Dajie, deputy secretary of the county committee of Zhiduo County, Qinghai Province, fought a gun battle with 18 poachers alone to protect Tibetan antelopes in Hoh Xil, and was shot and killed. After hearing the story of Sonam Dajie, Yang Xin decided to do something anyway.

　　In 1995, Yang Xin founded the environmental protection organization — — Sichuan Green River Environmental Protection Promotion Association aims at promoting and organizing natural ecological environmental protection activities in the upper reaches of rivers, promoting the development of folk natural ecological environmental protection in China, improving the environmental awareness and environmental ethics of the whole society, and striving for the sustainable development of the social economy in this basin. In the second year, an investigation team composed of scientists, journalists and environmental protection volunteers entered the source area of the Yangtze River, revealing poaching and ecological problems here, which attracted national attention. At the same time, Yang Xin wrote a book "Soul of the Yangtze River" and sold it for charity, raising the first folk nature reserve in China — — The construction funds of Sonandaje Protection Station. Then, the Hoh Xil National Nature Reserve was established, and the Sanjiangyuan National Park was established, and the protection efforts continued to increase.

　　In 2011, Yang Xin led volunteers to establish the second private nature reserve in China — — The "Yangtze River Source Water Ecological Environment Protection Station" promotes the ecological protection and garbage recovery of the Yangtze River source, and with the support of the government, it has established 12 stations, including the Qinghai-Tibet Green Station, the Sichuan-Tibet Green Station, the Bande Lake Wildlife Observatory and the Yangtze River Theme Post Office, to monitor the glacier degradation in the Yangtze River source and protect the highest flying bird in the world — — Bantouyan, Developing the First Gorge of the Yangtze River — — Investigation on biodiversity of tobacco plants, linear garbage recovery of Qinghai-Tibet Highway and Sichuan-Tibet Highway & HELIP; … Yang Xin is also called "the first person to protect the Yangtze River" by many people. When asked if he ever felt tired, Yang Xin’s answer was "never". Yang Xin never wanted to back down. There were some things he didn’t have to do, but he turned it into something he had to do, including looking for "the green river".

　　23 years of moving

　　The mysterious man "looks forward to the river green" and never stops donating money.

　　The first time I learned about "Panjiang Green" was on May 14th, 2000. Green River received a money order from 10 yuan, which came from Guiyang, Guizhou. The remitter’s address came from the post office, and the name column read "Panjiang Green". In the message office, "Panjiang Green" wrote: "May 14th is Mother’s Day. I think the Yangtze River is also the mother of our Chinese nation. Thank you for your dedication to your mother. I will always support your work." At first, Yang Xin and others didn’t care too much. After all, there are many anonymous donors. By the time they noticed again, "Panjiang Green" had been donating for a period of time, and the amount was 10 yuan every month. "I don’t think his financial conditions are very good, otherwise he won’t only donate ten yuan at a time, but it’s touching to donate even if his income is limited."

　　Since 2000, the annual donation of "Panjiang Green" has never fallen, with the amount from 10 yuan to 20 yuan in 2009 and 30 yuan in 2011. The donation method of "Panjiang Green" is changing. At first, it was a handwritten money order from the bank, then it became a printed money order, a wire transfer order, and then it was transferred to the post office. The only thing that remains unchanged is the donation and signature as promised: "Panjiang Green". Who the hell is "Panjiang Green"? Yang Xin has always hung in his mind and thought about how to find it, but he only knows that "Panjiang Green" is in Guiyang, and there is no other clue. "Only once, when he donated money, he sent an email to the public mailbox of Green River, saying that the donation had been remitted this year. Please check it." Yang Xin said, "I quickly replied to a letter and invited him to the protection station to have a look." But reply like Shi Niu into the sea. However, the donation of "Panjiang Green" has not been interrupted. Yang Xin said that the office of Green River has moved several times, and every time it has a new address, "Panjiang Green" knows that remittances are all remitted to the new address. Yang Xin also thought: Since he didn’t want to show up for 23 years, "Panjiang Green" may not be to show himself, so he has been silently paying attention and supporting.These small details made Yang Xin and others warm and moved. When they were weak, they thought of these, and they straightened their backs and moved on. Sometimes, Yang Xin himself has become a "green river". He said that his photographic works often use the name "Panjiang Green". In Yang Xin’s view, no one can participate in all public welfare, but there will always be people involved. They are here, and the power to move forward is there.

　　Looking for "Panjiang Green"

　　Pay tribute to the 10 million supporters of Qian Qian.

　　Yang Xin mentioned in many interviews and speeches that what moved him most was not the person who donated the most, but the "Panjiang Green" who donated for the longest time and had never met. After a recent speech, his idea of looking for "looking forward to the river green" began to spread again. In Yang Xin’s view, "Panjiang Green" is a person and a group of people, representing the people who have been silently supporting the public welfare undertakings for years. "We lead the public welfare undertakings forward, but behind them are countless ‘ Panjiang Green ’ This is their recognition and encouragement to us. "

　　Looking for "Panjiang Green" is to awaken more people’s awareness of ecological environment, let more people know about green rivers, know that "Panjiang Green" continues to support public welfare and pay attention to the ecological environment protection of the Yangtze River for 23 years. In addition, Yang Xin also wants to let everyone know that it is these material support and spiritual strength that have become the driving force for himself and his peers to persist. I hope that through this search, more "looking forward to the river" will emerge, and we will work together to pay attention to the Yangtze River and participate in ecological environment protection.

　　Alibaba’s charity "Everyday Positive Energy" team responded quickly after learning about this incident. Together with Chengdu Business Daily-Red Star News, Guizhou Metropolis Daily, the media where the money order was first issued, and the media along the Yangtze River, on the eve of China Charity Day on September 5 this year, a special action was launched to "look for the riverside green", find TA, pay tribute to TA, and pay tribute to thousands of "riverside green" in Qian Qian, China.

　　Yang Xin was moved by this move. He said that environmental protection work is diversified. Green River has gone through 28 years, and now there are more than 3,000 volunteers. These volunteers participate in public welfare and environmental protection in a variety of ways. They have the money to pay, make great efforts, and have technology. Among them, there are many big names such as stars. There are thousands of people in Qian Qian who are "looking forward to the river green" in society. I hope that everyone will participate in more ways and make more contributions to environmental protection and charity, so that more people can become "looking forward to the river green".

　　Of course, the value and significance of looking for "Panjiang Green" do not stop there. Yang Xin said that it’s certainly good to find TA. If you can’t find TA, it’s also a process to show the society, so that more people can know it and become it.

　　"What would you say if you found it and met?" The reporter asked. Yang Xin thought for a moment, and his expression became serious: "At the same time of thanking, I will sincerely invite TA to visit the protection station when she has time. It is precisely because of Qian Qian Wanwan ‘ Panjiang Green ’ With the same supporters, the ecological environment protection of the Yangtze River has achieved so much. " When he said this, Yang Xin seemed to be back on the plateau. The clouds dispersed, revealing the sky and snow-capped mountains. The setting sun hung in the west, and the sun shone on every mountain and river. Chengdu Business Daily-Red Star Journalist Jiang Lin
