The name of Kunming is famous all over the world again. On October 11th, many scientists came to take part in a big international meeting, COP15 in Kunming in southwest China.

What is COP15?

The topic of the meeting is about biodiversity. Biodiversity means different animals and plants live in peace on the earth.

What does COP15 work for?

Scientists are working hard to protect rainforest and wetland to return home to animals. To stop the sandstorm and improve weather, COP15 is developing tree planting plans in deserts(沙漠). When we plan to build cities or farms, we need to make good use of the earth’s land and seas.

What are the goals(目标) of COP15?

Scientists hope to protect at least 30% of land on the earth. To do this, we should stop factories from polluting the air and water. We also need to try our best to stop too many ecosystems(生态系统) disappearing, because they offer our basic needs in life.

Protecting other living things means protecting ourselves.

In China, a lot of food is wasted every year and the wasted food is enough to feed (喂饱) 200 million people. The food is wasted in restaurants, at home and in schools, etc. In restaurants or at home, people often order or cook too much food. But they can’t eat it up. When they go out of a restaurant, full and happy, they never look back at the uncertain food on the table again. Should Chinese consumers (消费者) feel sorry for the terrible waste?

In schools, we can often see a lot of students throw food away after meals. Everyone is supposed to have enough food to eat. However, in some places, the food is so little that a lot of people died from hunger. Although China has tried hard to solve the problem of hunger over the past thirty years, the job is not finished yet. Food is important to us all. We can’t live without food. So it is necessary for us to love food and try to eat up everything on our plates. When we eat in restaurants, we should pack up the leftovers (剩菜剩饭).

       It seems food deliverymen（送货员）are always in a hurry. They wear blue, red or yellow helmets and many of them don’t follow traffic rules. They drive on the wrong side of the road and run red lights. They use mobile phones while driving. Their reckless（鲁莽的）behaviors have caught the public’s attention.

In the first half of 2017, food deliverymen had 76 traffic accidents in Shanghai, according to Shanghai Public Security Bureau. That means every two and a half days, a food deliveryman will die or get hurt on the road.

What makes deliverymen take such risks? The strict rules of the food delivery service companies and the anxious（焦急的）customers are the answer.

Many companies will fine（罚款）a deliveryman up to 2,000 yuan, if he fails to deliver an order on time, reported China Daily. Fines also go to those who get bad reviews from customers.

To solve the serious problem, food delivery service companies need to improve their incentive systems（激励制度）, noted CRI Online.

Some cities are also taking action. Shanghai has asked companies to train their deliverymen on traffic rules and safety. Now in Shenzhen, if a deliveryman gets caught breaking traffic rules more than twice, then he will be banned（禁止）from driving food service delivery vehicles（车辆）for a whole year.

The Great Wall of China is called the “Ten Thousand Li Great Wall” in Chinese. In fact, it’s over 21,000 kilometres long. It winds its way from west to east, across deserts, over mountains, through valleys till at last it reaches the sea. It is one of the wonders of the world.

The Great Wall has a history of over 2,000 years. The first part of it was built during the Spring and Autumn Period. During the Warring States Period, more walls were built to defend the borders of the different kingdoms. Later, the Qin dynasty united the different parts into one empire. To keep the enemy out of his empire, Qin Shi Huang had all the walls joined up.

The Great Wall is wide enough on the top for five horses or ten men to walk side by side. Along the wall are watchtowers, where soldiers used to watch enemies. They lit fires on the towers as a warning when the enemy came.

It was very difficult to build such a wall in ancient times without any modern machines. All the work was done by hand. Thousands of men died and were buried under the wall they built. The Great Wall was made not only of stone and earth, but of the flesh and blood of millions of men.

Today the Great Wall has become a place of interest not only to the Chinese but to people from all over the world. There’s a famous Chinese saying—He who has never been to the Great Wall is not a true man.

People who are scared of heights should try not to drive over a new bridge in Guizhou. The new bridge, called the Beipanjiang Bridge, is the highest one in the world. Located near Bijie in Guizhou Province, the bridge stands 565 meters above a deep river. It connects the mountainous provinces of Guizhou and Yunnan. Just how high is the new bridge? Think of a 200-storey (层) building.

Guizhou Province is already home to seven of the ten highest bridges in China. The Beipanjiang Bridge has just overtaken (超过) the Sidu River Bridge in Hubei Province to become the world’s highest.

The building of the Beipanjiang Bridge started in 2012 and it was opened to traffic (通车) on December 29, 2016. It cost about 100 million yuan.

The Beipanjiang Bridge is part of a highway (高速公路) connecting Hangzhou City in Zhejiang Province and Ruili City in Yunnan Province. The bridge is 1,341,4 meters long and it cuts the travel time from Liupanshui in Guizhou to Xuanwei in Yunnan from around five hours to just over an hour.

China is no stranger to record-breaking bridges. The second- and third-highest bridges in the world are also located in the country. The Beipanjiang Bridge is five meters higher than the previous (先前的) record holder.

Hongcun, with a history of about 900 years, is an extremely beautiful village in Anhui Province. Located under Mount Huang, the village has kept the major Chinese styles from ancient times. It’s also one of UNESCO World Heritage Sites (世界文化遗产).

Walk along the old stone streets and lanes, and you will feel like travelling back in time. All the houses with grey roofs and white walls were built during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. On the front gate of each household is decorated with red Chinese knots and lanterns. All of them are outlined (映出轮廓) against the blue sky and reflected into the clear rivers, lakes and ponds, with dark green mountains around. It’s a living water-ink picture.

Step into a tea house to take a rest. A piece of classical music, played by guqin, fills up the house and floats into your hearts, as if you hear birds singing, and rivers flowing. You will be lost in a world, full of peace and happiness. Holding the tea cup, you will find some lines of poems on its out layer coming into your sight:

No dust is rising on the road, wet with morning rain.

The willows by the hotel look so fresh and green.

Walk out of the tea house, and go to the open-air theatre. The actors with coloured make-ups (脸绘) are performing on the stage in special clothes. It’s a local opera called Huangmei Opera and different from others, such as Kun Opera, Beijing Opera and Yue Opera. Also, you can enjoy a feast of varieties of quyi: crosstalk, kouji and pingshu.
