Today I received a friend forwarded the article, looking very sad.
I know this is not Journey, but I hope that all love travel love for the motherland's great mountains and rivers fellow citizens to know what happened prairie, can understand their responsibilities.
Details:
Today, stirring occasionally to see this post, I can not calm, I think any one has good knowledge of the people are not indifferent. We have been like in the cashmere sweater, light, soft, warm, but in our land with a northern grassland, our compatriots, our land are facing much disaster, so no protection to the environment caused by a disaster may be fatal, since the resumption of a good environment to invest the time and money is too great. Maybe I do not see this post before, I was ignorant of the ignorance of many, like the beauty of being intoxicated on the surface behind the neglect of the practical, such a post worth a look. I'll not buy a cashmere sweater. At least for now.
(A) crying grassland
Ordos, you wear it?
Have to wear cashmere sweater do? There Ordos do not know? How many know that eco-refugees? How many people know that the camel's last drop of tears? ?
Today, I just want to let everyone know that something can be done after reading some of whatever things! Yesterday afternoon classes finished, wandered hundred large auditorium (Peking University) would like to see what a good performance, but far in front to see if there are exhibitions, banner on the "camel's tears," to attract their own walked past !
Just could not see the time has come when the time and read the mood of the time, one is a退休老工人pictures at their own expense for nearly a decade and traveled throughout the territory of Inner Mongolia, Qinghai, Ningxia, Xinjiang, shot down in parts of the ecology of the step by step deterioration, sand pressing back, has come to Yellow River, on dead grass into the sand, past the high prairie that no one can now even the camel's capability to survive starvation in batches! One by one by yellow sand buried villages, piles of wasted step of the bones of the dead, a group of groups wearing all kinds of clothes looks funny goat! Because the goats can eat each other's hair with each other to survive! Herders had to use this to protect their property - the wool!
Turned down a date night, early into the Li-113 down 7 points, a clank of the side branch in Mongolia for several decades old gentleman retired workers Tong-King, this dissipated his fortune the old gentleman called ecological crisis, we must re-use language to let more people to save our ecology! Old gentleman up to the first sentence is "true pastoral poor, pastoralists really hard, animal husbandry, really dangerous!" If I did not think that Mr. Lu Lao tells us that such a degradation of grassland ringleader turned out to be one of the biggest joint venture in Japan 81 Erdos Cashmere Group! 81 years ago, grasslands have goats, to 85 years of breeding goats began to multiply, from 90 years to the decade between now is the most serious grassland deterioration of the decade behind the rise in the Ordos is a pastoral degradation, ecological a sharp deterioration in! Japanese in 81 years ago and is raising goats in their own country, and soon discovered the greatest problems raising goats - goats only eat grass, and eat grass! Riding the spring breeze of reform, the name of supporting the banner of the Chinese economy, with a "favor" of funds and the former woolen mill established a joint venture Erdos cashmere factory! To the prairie of Inner Mongolia has brought a nightmare!
Means to take a look at the Japanese bar! 80's, cashmere herders can sell 280 a pound, it is now 7,8 10 money! Would let you the sweetness, so you have a lot of breeding goats, and then the acquisition prices down, wool is not a food, only to sell cashmere factory! Wool cheaper, they raise some more to sustain themselves by it, more to support some of it is caused by a lower price!
On the one hand to meet the smiling faces of the Japanese because their wallets more and more drums, on the one hand it is a more pastoral life of the poor and our grasslands a step away! Now, do not raise a large number of goats in Europe, the Americas did not raise a large number of goats raised in Australia is not a large number of goats, and even in Africa do not support, and Asia, Singapore, Japan, South Korea did not raise, and only China, a large number of breeding goats!
Of course, small in Japan and in the eight-year war, as is the need agents! The Government called on everyone to sheep, goats replaced, in a pastoral area, can only carry 200 thousand of the grasslands, there are 1.2 million grazing animals, at most, goat! A long-term ecological benefits in exchange for the current short-sighted! In exchange for the so-called economic development! In exchange for these "public servants" of the achievements and Ding Dai! As recently as Phoenix in the western region of Inner Mongolia of the interview, our beloved leader still waving his arms, "Our industry is a pillar of black and one white, white is the goat, is the backbone of our largest foreign exchange!" Is that they there is unspeakable difficulties? Of course, in recent years, the central authorities have introduced a series of returning farmland to forest and pasture are the policy! However, the picture of the grazing area up barbed wire, the wire holes are everywhere, pastoralists need to eat ah! Do not fundamentally think of a way, the surface on the formalism only to those who are more bureaucrats a pretext for extorting money! Just this year, in the Loop area was built a cashmere factory, known as the world's first! Light orhon over Stanford a year take 70 million tons of cashmere, has registered 3000 small and medium cashmere factories and those who are not registered or even tens of thousands of cashmere factory has given way to grasslands into desert! We really need a world's first foreign velvet plant do?
Now the grasslands, there is no a little angry, old village is now densely Wanfeng camel desert! Even camels are able to survive places, what else can survive? Prairie ah!
(2, of the Weeping Camel)
Face of the changes in the natural environment, even if the "ship of the desert," said the camel could not resist the brutal test.
When a strong sandstorm blowing sand when the camel's eye can Daxia. Camel has double eyelashes, be able to withstand wind and sand, but before the strong sandstorms, camels there is no way to resist. By Da Xia camel eyes, due to not see grass, found that only die of hunger.
Under normal circumstances, a small camel for half an hour after birth, will be able to stand up themselves. But now the mother camel due to malnutrition, a small camel born on the very weak, the result after several hours of struggle, Tuiruan is a stand up too. Then who wants to help in the past did not, because there simply would not allow the mother camel near the small camel. Such a small camel certain death. As long as a small camel died, the mother camel will follow die. This is the mother and the child's feelings. And other small camels grow to an age, you can eat in their own. Camel is a three-two-child, rather than a one-year child. White lion's survival is more scarce, so precious. Tong-King is the most careful extinct white lion. Tong-King is the wish of the entire region, white lions all Alashan visit again, to see how many white lion.
Camels can be a very long time without eating, but will last at most two weeks time. The beginning of the hungry camels stand up, slowly, the leg is edema, swelling like the last leg, like a bucket and began to fester. Do not wait until the bad end, camels died. If the camel is in the summer or spring dead, and immediately becomes a mummy. This is mainly dry weather, the annual rainfall of less than 50 mm. The evaporation of up to 4500-4700 mm. Found to stand up as long as the camel herders, they must be employing it lifted, and immediately give it to enhance nutrition, feeding grass feed in order to restore health.
This year's drought Fung Kam Yu Alashan be regarded as an old, grasslands are turning green trend. Pastoralists do not have to buy fodder now, but in the winter, the existing grass is definitely not enough. Because in the desert, grassland ecology is very fragile. As long as the drought over time, due to the grass roots are shallow, and very crisp, very easily blown away, not left uprooted. Now there is no good measure. Even with the introduction returning farmland to forest and pasture in approach, but the desert too much water too little, while the people there are not enough, it can not solve the fundamental problem.
Seeing a camel on the grassland and wasting away, death, Tong-King sit still. He started in 2000, arrived in Beijing in September called for a stay of one to two months, to no avail left. Back to Inner Mongolia and later, went to the desert. He Yi Tangtang to Beijing to run, to do, "the Weeping Camel" exhibition, called on society as a whole Alxa camel and ecological environmental concerns. As to whether we can save the camels, how to save the camel, he not sure.
(C, we can remain unmoved?)
This report has been published in the newspapers, but some friends may not have noticed. Although the situation in the northern grasslands may not be like this, but we hope that through Alashan, let everyone know that environmental degradation in northern China has reached the extent.
* Camel have enough will not die It's that simple!
January 4, 2001, this newspaper reported that the environmental protection volunteers from the header Tong-King to bring "the edge of death - desertification, ecological emergency Photo Exhibition" Beijing to look for organizers to do a "Weeping Camel" and "Do you think you see Sandstorm's face. " A year later, Tong-King to bring his recent photo shoot of the increasingly emergency to Beijing again to "I saw, I can not see you want to see - has never grass to death, and death are peeling Picking carried out when the camel, dressed in clothing of the sheep, the wells filled with sand, sand into the back of the village, a military salute to the dead line of the political commissar of the military camel, camel mother wasted step, in the highway clean-up two-meter-high sandstorm of the forklift truck, crossed the barbed wire, a flock of sheep grazing in captivity, unscrupulous wolves, poisonous weeds of breed, international environmentalists tears ... ...
Photos can be a long-term warning and urgent warning in front of the camel died. To this end, Tong-King to sell their assets to bring to Beijing looking for 20000 pieces of photo organizer - the exhibition to save the camel.
* Mother have enough to eat it live it?
March 3, 2001, Tong-King 6 shooting into the sand storms and ecological Alxa. In the absence of prairie grass, the Tong-King strange how the lens inside the sheep are colorful? Near to a closer look, each sheep wearing different color clothes. Previously, Tong-King met with the individual dressed sheep, but this went so far as the whole dress. "No ah do not wear clothes," herdsmen told Tong-King: "eat eat terrible hair," a sheep herders unlock clothes, Tong-King to see belly bare, blue veins exposed, flesh clear. In 2001, the Alashan drop of rain, goats eaten only grass surface, but also digging grass root out. Cut grass, food and the goat began to sheep Chi Yang. These sheep are the lifeblood of herdsmen, who survive by selling cashmere. Is equal to each other to eat the wool of sheep ate the owner's property. Says the owner, not the less wool is not too big, sheep on the line. Their biggest heartache is the camel, the camel is dead his family of two peaks, no grass to eat, starved to death. Now many people in the village is dead camel, there are just born to die.
Sure enough, Tong-King road continually hit dead camel. He said: "12 miles every other month, we see a yellow Huhu things. Sandstorms a result, they immediately become white, and bones." Alxa Zuoqi, Tong-King observed a newborn little camel 3 hours passed, and not stand up. In general, born half an hour on the free exercise of a camel to go. Pastoralists heavy, shaking his head: "over, not get up the." Tong-King asked the reasons for, herders, said: "Mother have enough to eat it live in?"
At present, the living camel grass waiting for, some not stand by itself is even more eager to grass. Gansu sale 1 kg of grass 0.80 yuan, the local corn 1 kg 0.90 yuan. Pastoral grass price calculation can accept, but can not afford the freight. Camel grass waiting for the end waiting for death. In June 2001, a herdsman of the Tong-King, said: "another two weeks without grass to eat, my family more than 60 camels had to die." Herdsmen could not bear to watch another tragedy becomes a reality, gradually took the bitter pill will be at home more than 80 camels cheap sell, too, paragraph 30 thousand yuan. An old married couple 10000, two sons, one million. Tong-King asked if they sold the property, and to eat? Rely on to make a living? Pastoralists without words.
In the Tengger Desert, herders told Tong-King, one of the consequences of ecological degradation: "The wolf is more, very fierce." His family of four camels become a victim of the wolf. One evening, facing ferocious wolf did not eat the camel grass even call the owner of the voice shouted no. Wolf bite camel pipe drinking blood, not even to drink four peaks. Herders discovered that riding a motorcycle chase more than 100 kilometers have no catch up.
(D, cashmere sweater, you at what price?)
"Alashan necessary to become a second Lop Nur"
No grass to eat before the death of the camel is a sign of peeling Picking. Tong-King of the lens overwhelmed the camel's tragedy: super-skinny, large pieces of skin off, stand up, pulling the water cart Zaibu Dong herdsmen were sandstorms Daxia eyes ... ... the consequences of ecological degradation of the two, grassland grown on a species has not seen the grass, pastoralists called "poisonous weeds." Camel Chile Ta on turning in circles, Du Zhang. Thus herders sharpened bamboo Tongjin of the camel stomach deflated, with the result, life lived large, the infirm and slowly tipped over in front of the owner. Tong-King saw a small camel was killed by the owner. Tone master grief: "God must it be to eat the poisonous weeds are dead, deflation is dead, what can I do."
Similarly, the mood in Inner Mongolia, political commissar of the Military Border regiment ZHANG Li-ming is another manifestation of the body. He saw a dead camel on the off-line military salute, after a short silence. Gobi desert, one person, one animal, one green one black, one-stop one reclining, the film was good, but the Tong-King do not understand. ZHANG Li-ming told Tong-King, he had just joined the army when the army camel feed, and later Qijun camel, camel with him from the soldiers to the political commissar. For 27 years, his feelings of ordinary people can not understand the camel. He feels for each peak are his camel died of a piece of meat fell.
Alxa Right Banner of a force, Tong-King to follow the soldiers to a village 60 km outside the pull of water. The two companies stationed here for two with dry wells, 60 kilometers away, also face dry wells. Military leaders anxious helplessness: "I am afraid that will be moving." Tong-King first reaction: "removed, who will guard?" Leadership sighed shaking his head.
Tong-King captured soldiers how to wells. Bucket into the well, first remove and then a bucket of sand, water barrel. Water is mixing. Tong-King found that people's teeth Alashan yellow, they said water containing excessive fluoride.
Alxa Right Banner Novo Jiguet hematoxylin (Township), in 2089 did not rain, nine wells were dry. Given the fact that there have been more than 200 households in June 2001, Tong-King to see the village's remaining four. Pastoralists by the water door, scattered all over.
Alxa Right Banner, 8 cents a pound watermelon actually will buy it. Harsh natural environment leading to economic contraction, thereby enabling herdsmen living in poverty trend. Alxa Left Banner monetary sum (Township), Wu Liji hematoxylin (Township) away from the highway, 1 kg of 36 yuan a camel's hair no one income, mainly by selling camel's hair to maintain the livelihoods of herders into poverty.
Tong-King saw three years ago, a child, the child to wear clothes or three years ago. Tong-Jing Qi: "How long did then?" Children's parents said: "keep up with ah (nutrition)." Tong-King Survey: Alashan area herdsmen to eat two meals a day, and enough to eat. Pastoral tradition of hospitality etiquette: first, the milk tea, followed by milk, dry milk, tofu cheese. 2001 Tong-King in the herdsmen home to see is "Hey, are to buy milk to eat their own lamb, sheep and where not to eat grass to milk it."
Since 1995 the ecology of Tong-King shot Alashan frustration: "bad year after year. At the foot of the thin layer of soil, stepped down, that is, sand, sandy incurable." 6 years, he recorded his lens Allah Good ecological gradual process. Objective: Education modern warning that those who. Tong-King admitted the only change for the better in the Enge Bei, where there are trees 14 years of Japanese Toyama Zhengying. Tong-King Description: "there is indeed an oasis, an effective curb desertification." Enge Bei, the Tong-King lens full of fragile ecosystems issued by the SOS - "Alxa to become a second Lop Nur", many people say that concerns.
In 2001, Tong-King issued a camel in the newspaper SOS, the Japanese, "Ay Scarlett" civil environmental organizations requested the Tong-King lead the way Alxa. Tong-King noted that Zhezhi inspection team, there are five children, aged 9 to 13 years old. The Japanese told the Tong-King: "This is good for children."
* "Since the early 80s, you have a joint venture with our cashmere sweater factory, after 20 years, we had so ... ..."
April 8, 2001, a sandstorm hit the Tong-King and the "Ay Scarlett." Filled with sand where all five senses. Tong-King to demonstrate experience in crowd: Do not blow his nose, his nostrils the need to use mineral water within the sand slowly sucked out, or broken capillaries. The Japanese see the real living conditions of nomads. They said: "I can not believe how so ... ..." 5 children in the two girls, smell is not accustomed to the taste of cow dung for cooking, ran away, a meal, they gave up the initiative, said: "No to work, embarrassed to eat. "adults nodded. Faced with this situation, Tong-King a lot of emotion. July 23, Tong-King with a Japanese "Mainichi Broadcasting System," TV film "the Weeping Camel." Heat of the summer, dust storms, had to patronize, and visibility of 200 meters so that they forced to hide in the car to see yellow sand blocks out the sun. Desert Wizard camels, lie down on the ground ... ...
Bad natural, poor herders, the Japanese weeping, and the same question marks: "how can this ... ..."
"How could this be?" Tong-King Nanyifenyuan mood: "Since the early 80s, you have a joint venture with our cashmere sweater factory, after 20 years, we had so ... ..." In 1982, Japanese investment in a cashmere sweater factory. Since then, a large number of breeding goats. In Inner Mongolia Environmental Protection Bureau, according to himself on the Tong-King said: "The history of animal husbandry in Inner Mongolia had never raised goats." Goat eating grass.
The consequences are a large number of breeding goats, grasslands suffer an unbearable weight. Scientific, balanced figure should be 80,412 square kilometers stocking 200,000, is currently 1.6 million, 80% of the goats. Over-grazing led to a serious imbalance in grasslands, the first murder is the large grass-eating camel.
The existing national 2600 cashmere sweater factory, cashmere sweater export price of a brand name over 1000 U.S. dollars. 2000 1 kg of cashmere sold 180 yuan in 2001, sold 150 yuan, the highest record of 270 yuan. Cashmere - The quick success, corporate mercenary, herders feed their families. Grassland with limited resources under the people's greed is predatory to zero. In 2001, the ideal of a well-known cashmere sweater factory is 10 years, earned 100 billion, to develop into the world's largest cashmere sweater factory. Tong-King beating his photographs, emotional excitement: "cashmere sweater factory, how much you want to sacrifice the natural exchange for economic benefits; while the number of economic interests, you will be able to restore or maintain the natural balance."
Facing the deteriorating nature, animals dying, Tong-King described the pastoral mentality "helpless." They Tong-King, said: "to live another day is the day." "Then you have children and grandchildren to eat?" "Not so far."
Commit a sin is bound to affect the earth to heaven, the wind does not transfer the rain to flow, and years of drought is the punishment for all life on earth, Heaven and Man, a vicious circle. The Japanese told Tong-King: early development of Hokkaido, natural persons have tragically ravaged by logging, pollution of rivers ... ... did not resume after the efforts of over three generations into this today.
According to information: there are camels to the village Alashan reputation as the number of camels have been as high as 25 Wanfeng. Malian staple camel grass, now malian grass extinct. There are horses extinct. Last year, Tong-King estimates that about a camel 9 Wanfeng, this year's figures become more pessimistic - 4 to 5 Wanfeng. "People do not consciousness, then," Tong-King eyes of tears, "3 to 5 years, the extinction of a camel that was not possible, but a fact." Tong-King grief on the Silk Road Chinese civilization is co-written and camels, and now, the creation of of the ancient civilization of mankind in order to immediate "Xiemoshalv." Camels, the food chain in the absence of a ring, is bound to affect other organisms, healthy and orderly movement.
* Today, camel grass will be able to live there, no grass would die, it's that simple.
Tong-King bad mood when I thought I was an international photography awards photos and photographers: war, a crying children and a coveted his vulture. Award, the photographer committed suicide because he could not bear the weight of disaster; because he saw the human tragedy going too far. Tong-King walk in the desert, often I imagine that is the endangered camel, no one to depend no, but he never thought of retreat. He does, he wants to continue the memory of happiness - a stick Huangyangchuan scoop scoop the fish.
(Five, you can not wear cashmere sweaters, grasslands can not do without grass)
"People can family planning, sheep, why not?"
"Killing goats save China," Tong-King heard at first hand some policymakers say so. He also saw whine sounded rushed to slaughter the sheep. Kill the goat, which means the collapse of pillars of pastoral life, pastoral What to eat drink? Tong-King that the breeding of goats is the extreme left, killing goats are far-right, resulting in two extreme insane greed of humanity. "Are they really going to kill goats to save China?" Tong-King from the mentality that the ecological imbalance. "No human science, planning, orderly grasp of this scale." He says: "Ejin is filled with alcohol advertising Desert King, in the extremely dry areas, wine how much water should be consumed." Flag where there is no one computer , Tong-King advised high ranking official to buy a computer, a good understanding of the outside information. Officials to the Tong-King a tired face, "money." "They are a little less eating and drinking will be able to save sufficient money to buy a computer." Tong-King, while helpless.
"Environmental management lies in the people, the key is the leadership of the decision-making, decision-making errors or not in place, the consequences might have to set things right for generations." For example, Tong-King has its own views on the captive. "Drawback is easy to get infectious diseases; down from one generation to the quality of cashmere." In fact, the captive is Jinerbuzhi. He saw people rushing across the barbed wire grazing sheep in captivity. For the goats is endemic, Tong-King to speculate that "people can family planning, sheep, why not?"
* "You can not wear cashmere sweaters, grasslands can not do without grass,"
In 2001, Zhu Rongji's instructions: "To run eco-warning Education Exhibition." Tong-King excitement: "very good, very timely." He shot his pictures show them some of the ecological emergency officials - indifferent.
He also illustrates, Chifeng a few decades old trees has become a climate, there are always clouds over the woods. Remained expressionless. Numbness of the face, the face of government officials, Tong-King Nan Yi tears. He said that six years of walking the desert, many difficulties had tears do not fall, but the people are not the meat in front of a long official career, he could not help, he was numb to tears. Numbness, because it comes at common things around them do? Tong-King grievance: "fewer and fewer ground, grass growing thin, the more their jobs, Dr. Dai higher."
By contrast, Vice President of Stanford University, looked at photos of Tong-King in tears. Chinese students at Stanford University Wei luxuriant read this newspaper, "the Weeping Camel", he and South Korean students Yong Xiu please Tong-King lead the way into the Alxa. Kim Yong-Xiu shocked "at South Korea 6 million square kilometers, Alashan 270,000 square kilometers, which can place those who are poor water shortage, a pity. Stanford University, commissioned They do pre-inspection, the school has an investment interest.
At present, the Tong-King anxiety, and then go on so spoil the party Central Committee's "re beautiful landscape" is myth. He works in the desert, do not rub the eyes of the sand. He saw trees lie in ambush; annual increase in goats is on the decrease, eco-worse year after year ... ... He called for "not wearing a cashmere sweater, eating boiled mutton." The reason is: you can not wear cashmere sweaters, grasslands can not do without grass.
From the desert back to the city Tong-King, he had asked two Beijing primary school students are eating popsicles, "popsicles save money to buy seedlings is good," the child said, "Planting trees is a national thing." Contrast to the Japanese kids into the desert, Tong-Jing-Xin Liang, particularly the majority of people in front of the ecological crisis, "there is nothing to do with them, hanging" chilling.
In 2002, Tong-King sold his home of five rooms in Baotou to Beijing. He bent to the ecological warning pictures widely advertised. He believes that there is no huge capital, according to a soul-stirring warning.
January 9, 2002, Premier Zhu Rongji at the Fifth National Conference on Environmental Protection, said: "We can not do 'eat their ancestral rice, destroying their future' thing." Tong-Jing Zhu Rongji's speech published in the newspapers drew a green line: " We should continue to improve the environment to warn and educate the public and the media to participate in environmental monitoring as an important means to strengthen environmental protection work. "
Primary culture of Tong-King that the Prime Minister to understand the words - with the temple on the common plaque a meaning: good weather, peace and prosperity.
