In 1960, the cover of the 21st issue of "People's Pictorial"**: Gao Xuelan was telling Ajahan about and comparing planting techniques such as cotton topping.
Gao Xuelan recalled that in the summer of that year, Uyghur villagers came to their work unit at the time, Tarim No. 1 Farm (now Tarim Township, Yuli County, Xinjiang) to exchange and learn technology. ”
On the cover of the 21st issue of People's Pictorial in 1960, Gao Xuelan (left), a female worker in Tayi, introduced the experience of cotton pruning to Ajahan. In the 50s of the last century, Gao Xuelan came to Xinjiang from her hometown Shandong to work. She said that at that time, when preparing to build a tower on the edge of the desert, she and her colleagues first lived in a "nest in the ground", through the straw-covered "eaves", and the stars could be seen at night.
We used the cantuman to plough and build a lot of large fields, but fortunately the cotton also grew. Gao Xuelan said.
After Tayi built farmland, irrigation facilities, and cultivated a windbreak belt, Gao Xuelan and her colleagues were sent to an even more barren area to open up wasteland, which is now the 34th Regiment of the Second Division of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps. Under the development of generations, today, the regiment has become an oasis regimental field with a wide range of canals, vertical and horizontal canals, and a network of forest belts. And the "cotton story" continues.

In a cotton interplanting cumin demonstration base, Gu Yi, a researcher of the 34th Regiment of the Second Division, introduced that interplanting cumin helps cotton seedlings resist wind and frost, and is conducive to the shaping of cotton plants and improves the net picking rate during cotton picker operation.
In the 34th Regiment of the 2nd Division, Gao Xuelan is ** display wall. Returning to the place where he once sweated, Gao Xuelan said: "The planting level is much higher now than when we were there. ”
Gao Xuelan and related staff have tried to find Ajahan, but there is no news. The story of the two is painted on the display wall, and Gao Xuelan gazes at herself and Ajahan when they were young, and their happy smiles solidify into eternity. (Zhao Chenjie, Guzarinur Tayirjan).
