After watching a television news report about Yin's tireless work, he was deeply moved and raised the $5,000 to help Yin and her husband in their afforestation campaign. Yin spent almost all the money on buying more saplings, keeping just one dollar bill as a souvenir.    Today, the slender saplings have grown into a vast forest.    Yin gained national attention in May when she issued a public search for Sakolsky, which ended successfully.    On the day of the reunion, Yin chose a green coat and arrived early at Ordos Ejin Horo International Airport. "I plant trees, and the earth is green," she said. The red scarf draped around her neck was the same one she had worn during her early days of planting trees in the desert, although it had been washed over and over again.    She had practiced three English phrases: "Welcome to China," "my brother," and "more, more," her way of saying "Please eat more" to show hospitality.     But when they finally met, she couldn't utter a single word.    As Sakolsky came down the escalator, he kept wiping tears from his eyes. Yin hurried forward and held out her arms. The two held each other tightly, tears welling in their eyes.    "This is a dream come true," said Sakolsky. "She made a promise 27 years ago and kept her promise. I never thought I would see her again. It is a miracle, but it shows culture and people can still keep promises."    He praised Yin as an extraordinary woman who has made great contributions to China.    He mentioned that he had intended to take a tree home to the United States, but was prohibited by law — which drew laughter from the tearful onlookers. Yet he was determined to bring back some sand home with him, saying in all seriousness that if necessary, he would pack it in his shoes.    Invited by the China Education Association for International Exchange (CEAIE), his itinerary from Aug. 23 to Sept. 1 will also include China-U.S. teacher exchange events, a visit to Henan to meet with teachers and students at the school where he worked, a visit to the press briefing hall of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and visits to historical and cultural landmarks.    Official figures show that China has contributed about one-quarter of the world's increase in green vegetation and rehabilitated 152 million mu (about 10.13 million hectares) of desertified land between 2021 and 2025.    (By Zhang Dongfang)                    。

C | 非共识项目是指在基础研究领域，创新性强却还没有达成共识、争议大、难识别、风险高的创新研究。这类项目往往因挑战现有范式，难以通过常规同行评议获得支持。该专项重点支持科研人员提出具有非共识性、原创性、颠覆性等特征的原创学术思想，涵盖开辟新领域、提出新理论、发展新方法、研发新材料和揭示新规律等方向，尤其鼓励多学科交叉融合的探索。

D | 申报项目须同时具备三个条件：研究工作具有或潜在具有重大科学意义或培育颠覆性技术的价值；研究思想、范式或内容具有突出的原创性或颠覆性，尚未取得领域内专家共识，存在较大争议，难以通过常规评审获得资助；探索性强，难以依据现有科学认知完全判断可行性，完成研究风险高、难度大。在申报资格上，申报人须为从事基础研究、应用基础研究的一线科研人员，项目鼓励优秀青年人才申报。非共识项目不计入申报人申报和承担省自然科学基金项目的总数限制。

E | 这一政策松绑将有效激发科研人员的探索热情。在推荐机制上，非共识项目采用专家实名推荐制。推荐人须为具有深厚科学素养、前瞻性思维和跨学科见解的杰出学者，包括两院院士、国家自然科学基金青年科学基金项目（A类）负责人、全国重点实验室主任、燕赵实验室主任等。

F | 每个项目需至少1名专家实名推荐，且每位专家每年仅限推荐1项。“建立这一机制，就是要给那些‘不被大多数人看好’的科研想法一次开花结果的机会。

G | ”省科技厅相关负责人表示，他们正着力构建专家实名推荐、深度辩论式评审、择优滚动支持的全链条非共识项目工作机制，特别是设立宽容失败、允许试错的政策导向，将赋予科研工作者坚持独特赛道的底气。此项举措将有力引导省科研力量聚焦国际空白领域，抢占学术制高点，培育有望开辟新赛道的颠覆性成果。
