I’d like to talk about the capital city of China, Beijing, which is famous for its places
of interest like the the Great wall, and also some modern tourist attractions. But
these years, I believe it has become well known for its heavy air pollution. I don’t
remember since when high levels of air pollution have become commonplace in
Beijing, especially during winter months when temperatures drop and more coal is
burned when heating systems are switched on.All I can hear
from the news every
now and then is Beijing is hit by hazardous smog
again and the municipal
government issues yellow smog alerts all the time, and the number of patients who
suffer from respiratory disease is on the rise.
I guess that’s why I don’t have too
much affection for this city.
But a few months ago,
my best friend was getting
married in Beijing and I was asked to be her bridesmaid. So I had to fly there to
attend her wedding.After I landed at the airport, I just had this weird feeling in my
throat and I started to cough. I noticed that most people around me were wearing
masks, I just regret why I didn
’t get one before I went there. When I looked out of
the window, I could see the city was covered in a dense layer of smog, and some
of the skyscrapers were barely visible. I remember I was wearing a white blouse,
but by the time I got to my hotel, the collar was dirty, it was only like 4 hours? So
you see, the pollution was that serious.
Honestly I’ve no idea why people still flock
to this city to make a living at the cost of their health.
