On Monday afternoon, American teacher Ronald Sakolsky visited the homeland of Chinese desert fighter Yin Yuzhen in Uxin Banner of Ordos, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. This was a place the American man had visited in 2000 and it has completely changed since then.
In 1999, Sakolsky, a teacher in a China-US education exchange program, was touched by a report on Yin and her husband's afforestation efforts in the harsh wilderness of Mu Us Desert, and raised $5,000 to support her green cause. During that visit, they took pictures - in front of the sunken pit where the Yin couple once resided and in the barren land with a finger-thin sapling they had just planted against a backdrop of dust and bare earth.
What has the $5,000 changed?
On Monday, they came to the Sakolsky forest - a permanent tribute honoring Sakolsky's early contribution to the region's ecological revival - and replicated the vintage pictures, standing in front of a pit that has long been abandoned and beside a newly planted sapling. This time, however, there are bushes and trees in the background.
This contrast not only witnessed their friendship across time and the Pacific Ocean, but also showcased a promise Yin has kept for 27 years and a green dream that has been made possible through generations of joint unwavering efforts from Yin, her husband and countless other sand fighters.
Homecoming with family cooking

Yin hosted Sakolsky on Monday at her home, filling the air with the aroma of home-cooked meals during their long-awaited reunion. Watermelons were served along with other fresh fruits and vegetables, all harvested locally. Yin told the Global Times earlier that she learned the English word "more" to persuade him to eat more.
In 1999, Yin had few options for showing her hospitality, so she cooked a bowl of plain noodles for Sakolsky. Now, the harsh wasteland has transformed into a vibrant green oasis, thanks to unwavering afforestation efforts.
In the courtyard, the Global Times reporter saw Yin grinning from ear to ear with pride as she introduced the produce from the farmland - green pepper longer than a palm, a bottle gourd even bigger than Yin's head, and bags of foxtail millet packaged with the assistance of Yin's grandchildren, who are proud of the family's generations of commitment to green causes.
During a tour of Yin's home, Sakolsky was impressed by the beautiful house with its green courtyard, saying "You deserve every centimeter of this house." Throughout the visit, he repeatedly praised Yin's hands, which the desert fighter and model worker used to change both the land and her own life through arduous work.
The $5,000 Sakolsky donated in 1999 was equivalent to three years' income for Yin's entire family at the time. Today, that money has grown into more than 50,000 trees.
But Yin's journey did not stop there. Over the following decades, with the support of China's growing ecological restoration policies — including subsidies for afforestation and compensation for forest managers — she transformed the barren land into a productive family forest farm. Her success has inspired many others in the region to take up tree planting and sand control, transforming what was once a desperate struggle into a sustainable livelihood.
From the sandy hollow where the Yin couple lived in in 1985 and the earth hut they resided in until 1993, to the solid brick house Sakolsky saw when he last visited, and the two-story house the big family now lives in, the change in living environment is a clear example of ecological dividends.
Uxin Banner lies in the heartland of the Mu Us Desert. The desertification rate was over 90 percent in the 1950s and forestation coverage was merely 7.2 percent as of 1980. Now, the forestation rate has increased to 33 percent, while plantation coverage has expanded to 85 percent, per official data.

Carry on the greenness, kindness
This miracle would have been impossible without numerous people like Yin, long-term systematic planning and scientific governance.
Chen Ziliang, an expert from the local forestry and grassland bureau, said that Mu Us Desert's sand‑control journey has evolved from collective afforestation to contract desert‑reclamation, moving beyond the simple goal of "keeping trees alive" to restoring vegetation based on water‑resource conditions.
Putting the idea of "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" into practice, Uxin Banner no longer views "greenness" and "growth" as an either‑or proposition. On restored sandy lands, the under‑forest economy, eco‑agriculture and eco‑tourism have flourished. Sand‑fixing shrubs are now processed into animal feed and biomass fuel, and local authorities are exploring photovoltaic‑powered desert control, the Global Times learned.
Sand control is no longer just about keeping sand away; it's a development approach that guarantees a greener and better living environment alongside a booming economy and increasing incomes.
On Monday afternoon, when Sakolsky finally stepped into the forest named after him, this American teacher witnessed the Chinese woman's perseverance and commitment to her promises. The $5,000 donated without expectations has grown into a thriving forest of around 50,000 trees.
"A promise is a promise. Ms. Yin fulfilled her promise," Sakolsky said. After 27 years, the wasteland is green, and Sakolsky and Yin are "brother and sister."
"This is the answer to how we guide young people: We must teach them love and perseverance. We need to show young people photos of Ms. Yin planting trees, digging the soil with her bare hands," Sakolsky remarked while packing a jar of sand. He said he planned to bring it back to the US, telling his grandchildren it is not just a jar of sand, but "a jar of love."
Sakolsky told the Global Times earlier that the younger generation only knows about the dust-covered landscape from photos and stories of the elderly. It is important to tell them how the greenness is achieved, and how every single person can contribute to making an extensive forest in the harshest environment.
"I see where China and America can work together. I see it, so I will not quit. She [Yin] never quit. 'Quit' is not in her vocabulary," Sakolsky said with emotion on Monday.
"Chinese and Americans can be family. We can get over the differences if we focus on the similarities... If we focus on our similarities and not our differences, we can solve the problems."
At the end of Monday's schedule, Yin and Sakolsky planted another sapling together, just as they did about three decades ago, but in a completely different landscape.
This new sapling carries on the story of not only greenness through generations of joint efforts, but also kindness across the Pacific Ocean.

二 | 英维达已于2019年CES正式发布了面向主流玩家的RTX2060图形卡。与其他20系列图形卡相比，RTX2060图形卡仍然具有较高的性价比，而且性能的提高幅度也可以承受价格。

三 | 作为上游GPU的核心制造商，考虑到20系列图形卡的非公开和公开版本，您在过去几天看到了Invida RTX 2060图形卡的性能。图形卡的一般特征与非公共RTX2060的性能相似。那么，非公共图形卡是否有自己的特点呢？显然不是。与20系列公共图形卡相比，非公共图形卡以其夸张的散热器和强大的散热能力而闻名。在对Sotai公共图形卡的测试中，我们还看到了Sotai Geforce RTX 2060 Supreme Plus带来的超级散热。外貌：索台的散热器，祖传的散热片，总是给人一种大胆的感觉，这在索台Geforce RTX2060 Supreme Plus中也是如此。

四 | 三个球迷向世界展示了他们出色的散热性能，至于这是否与官方所说的一样，我们还是要测试一下。Sotai Geforce RTX 2060 Supreme Plus有一个金属背板。目前，背板设计已经成为高性能游戏图形卡的标准。它可以扩大散热面积，有效地辅助图形卡的PCB高热元件散热。即使对于RTX 2060图形卡，Sotai Geforce RTX 2060 Supreme Plus仍然使用8pin的豪华电源接口，这是官方的RTX 2060接口。

五 | Sotai Geforce RTX 2060 Supreme Plus的扩展接口仍然是那些，包括一个HDMI接口和三个DFP接口，但我不知道为什么Invida不添加一个HDMI接口。性能：非公共图形卡和公共图形卡之间的差距可以忽略不计。有了Boost4.0和增强版的公共图形卡，您更难使非公共图形卡具有反天堂的性能。否则，更难直接使用液氮超频。

六 | 一般的非公共图形卡和公共图形卡在同等的基础上。Sothey Geforce RTX 2060 Supreme Plus是这样的吗？我们使用三维标记理论测试和实际游戏来观察它们之间的区别。在3dmark测试中，我们发现Sothegeforce RTX 2060 Supreme Plus在三次测试中都高于公共版RTX 2060，但是这个头部可以忽略，几乎50分的差异甚至可以认为是由错误造成的。1080p分辨率测试1440p分辨率测试在1080p和1440p分辨率测试中，Sothey Geforce RTX 2060 Supreme Plus和Public RTX 2060之间的性能差距不是很大，可以说是来了又走了，这也对应于3D标记的理论测试，也就是说，非Public图形卡和Publ之间几乎没有差距。IC图形卡。然后讨论超频。我不知道发生了什么事。从20系列开始，超频之王的名字似乎应该给英伟达的公共图形卡，而不是非公共图形卡。在英伟达RTX2060FE的评估中，很容易对170MHz的图形卡进行超频，并顺利通过了时间拷贝测试。

七 | 在Sotai Geforce RTX 2060 Supreme Plus的超频测试中，情况远不如公共版RTX 2060理想。当频率增加到100MHz时，它不能通过时间拷贝。

八 | 只有当它降到70MHz时，它才能顺利通过。至于公共版本RTX2060是否使用特殊芯片，目前还不清楚。散热和功耗：目前，主要的非公共图形卡的性能基本处于同一水平。当然，我们的竞争对手是散热器的散热能力和额外的照明效率，这也是毫无意义的，而Sotai Geforce RTX 2060 Supreme Plus通过强大的散热为我们提供了一个令人满意的答案。_furmark温度测试在复印机中通过furmark，sothey geforce rtx 2060 supreme plus显卡的满载温度仅为59摄氏度，低于官方rtx 2060显卡的63摄氏度。虽然4摄氏度似乎不是很大，但它足以反映散热器的性能水平。在功耗方面，由于Sotai Geforce RTX 2060 Supreme Plus加灯，该图形卡的功耗比公共RTX 2080卡的功耗更大，比公共RTX 2080卡的功耗大20W-30W左右，整机满负荷约320W左右，毕竟非公共图形卡的功耗更大。强大的散热。小结：公共图形卡和非公共图形卡的性能差距没有预期的大，尤其是20系列图形卡。增强版的公共图形卡的性能与非公共图形卡基本相同，有些游戏稍好一些，这让非公共图形卡制造商有点尴尬。幸运的是，今天的非公开显卡也可以在散热器上制作物品，所以我们看到很多产品都带有大量的热管，以及众多的RGB灯饰王。在本测试中，Sotai RTX 2060图形卡具有与公共版RTX 2060 FE相同的性能，这取决于其强大的散热能力。应该知道，RTX2060的FE版本是标准版本的增强版本。
