What they say

Wu Hua, environmental law enforcement official in Liangshan Yi autonomous prefecture, Sichuan province

When I first arrived in the 1990s, I was shocked by the damage caused by the rare earth mining boom in Sichuan. As far as I could see, there were mines everywhere, and safety accidents occurred from time to time. That prompted me to devote myself to the cause of environmental protection and join the local environment bureau to protect the green mountains and clear waters of my hometown. In recent years, under the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization, the joint efforts of authorities and enterprises have profoundly changed the situation. The green mountains and clear waters are smiling again.
