There is no excuse for not doing good deeds. Blind Jia Haisia and his friend Jia Venchi, who had both arms amputated, turned a lifeless valley into a beautiful grove in 12 years. Despite the fact that friends are no longer young and cannot do some everyday things on their own, together they are a real power!
Haixia, 53, was born with a cataract on his left eye, and in 2000, as a result of an accident at work, he lost sight in his right eye and became completely blind. His peer Venci lost his arms when he was only three years old. Of course, it was incredibly difficult for both one and the other to find work, being disabled, but the desire to be useful did not allow them to give up. Together, they decided to turn 8 acres of wasteland near their home village into a green grove, in order not only to improve the local ecology, but also to protect the settlement's dwellings from the spring flooding of the river.
Every morning, friends get up at 7 am and go to work. Alas, they have no money to buy seedlings in the store, so Haisia and Wenchi sprout cuttings on their own. For several years, the friends got the hang of doing everything together: Venchi carries the blind Hayxia on his back across the river, and Hayxia climbs a tree to get new cuttings; Wenchi watches over the cuttings and water them, while Haisya plants them in the ground. Thanks to such friendly work, the friends have already managed to plant more than 10,000 trees. This is a serious result, even for those who have both eyesight and hands in place.
After covering their heroic everyday life in the news in China, Haixia and Wenchi received tremendous attention and support: someone even donated money to provide both friends with a pension for their lives. There was also a proposal to operate on Haixia to restore vision in his left eye. Truly, good deeds are contagious!
As life itself shows, if work brings real pleasure, it makes life incomparably better and … longer! So, 109-year-old Australian knits cute clothes for penguinsthat suffer from temperature extremes due to environmental pollution. And grandfather is glad, and thousands of penguins survived. And how beautiful these sweaters are!

What is the secret of the cult film of a native of Ukraine, without which there would be no "Starship Troopers" and "Alien": "Dune" by Khodorovsky
He was called the Prophet in the world of cinema. The unfinished epic saga Dune is one of the most famous cult films in film history.

3 literary Soviet dystopias that predicted the future more accurately than we would like
In the Soviet Union, science fiction was held in high esteem throughout the history of its existence. And many authors did not pass by such a genre as dystopia. Some branded the horrors of militarism, others imagined a terrible future in a world obsessed with industrialization, others soared with fantasy, imagining terrible civilizations on other planets (where, of course, they flew to save local progressive earthlings). Some of the things described seem to have come true anyway
