　　Since the beginning of junior high school, I have told my son that we must do forestry, and we must become three generations of forestry professionals, or even four generations of forestry professionals.

　　The biggest difference from before is that I used to have a playful mentality, I climbed as much as I could, and went straight down the mountain if I couldn't.

But this time is different. As a forest ranger, this is my job and my responsibility.

　　[Explanation] It is understood that on the Chongqing Internet Politics Platform, people are concerned about the Jinyun Mountain Fire Ecological Restoration Plan, and want to participate in the tree planting in 2023 to restore the green ecological homeland.

The local officials thanked and replied that they had organized a team of experts to carry out on-site research and planning of Jinyun Mountain ecological restoration.

　　For the forest rangers, this Spring Festival is a journey from one mountain to another, from one forest to another. They are accompanied by old trees and birds, and what they guard are all spring creatures in the mountains and forests.
