1. Terrible environment in China
My hourly employee came to my home yesterday morning. She told me there was a strong fog outside and advised me to leave for my interview early, in case of arriving there late. So I got up at once. I made sure everything was alright and then went to the place where the interview was. It should have only been half an hour's drive, but it took me 2 hours. There were traffic jams everywhere because of the fog. In fact, it was not fog, it was haze.
When my interview finished, it was almost 4pm. The haze still had not gone. I live in the northeast of China, it is getting cold here. News reported that three provinces in the northeast all suffered from the problem of haze. People can't see anything beyond 20 meters, all the schools were shut down. Highways were closed. A bus in the city got lost. People can't go out without wearing a respirator. I can't image how terrible it is.
We all know... many unusual things have happened over the past few years: the haze, the earthquake, high temperatures. The change of the environment already warned us, we should have protected it. The environment problem does not only effect developed cities like Beijing, Shanghai, etc. It effects everywhere in China. We shouldn't make our children pay for our mistakes. Anyway, if gets worse, maybe there will be nowhere we can go in the future, and our children might not have the opportunity to see the beautiful sights we have seen. They will be all gone. Us Chinese may be able to pay high salaries to attract talented people, but we can't make sure foreigners can live healthily in China. We will lose more than we can bear.
