Environment is one of the important element to show the national prosperity.
Yangtze River environment protection has been a hot topic among the country’s political advisers, who have gathered in Beijing for the annual two sessions.
Pan, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, made the remarks on the sidelines of the ongoing session of the CPPCC which opened in Beijing on Sunday.
Fisherman Zhang Chuanxiong has played a role in those efforts. He became a fisherman in the early 1970s, working the stretch of the Yangtze River that runs through Hukou county in Jiangxi province. However, in 2017, he became a river guard, tasked with protecting the Yangtze porpoise.
“I was born into a fisherman’s family, and spent more than half my life fishing; now I am paying back my debt to the river,” the 65-year-old said, adding that many of his peers have joined him on the river guard team, cruising the waterway to help the local government eradicate illegal fishing.
We only have one earth, whatever you are one of them or not, we all have duty to protect the environment.
