1 . Lce Hui Ling was exposed to environmental and social issues at a young age. Born into a family of artists, she was impressed by the environmental subjects of her mother’s art works and thus developed a pasion for the environment. “As a child, would worry about the ozone layer (臭氧层) expanding, rubbish pollution, and animals going extinct. Very serious topics for a little girl!”
After graduating from the Sarah Lawrence College in New York and moving back to Malaysia, Hui Ling’s conceras for the environment grew. She set up a Greenpeace Malaysia online community on various social media platforms. This was instrumental in the eventual setting up of the Malaysian office in 2017.
Hui Ling helped to organise and lead at meet-ups, as well as run workshops and training. An artist and educator, Hui Ling organised participatory art projects in line with Greenpeace Malaysia campaigns on deforestation, plastic pollution and consumerism. One of them was the Wings of Paradise project, where she led a team of 30 youth volunteers in creating a 64-meter long mural (壁画), showing the essence of the brightly coloured feathers, crazy dances and fantastic behaviours of birds of paradise (天堂鸟). The project aimed to remind the public of the constant threat to this Indonesian wildlife, and inspire people to act to protect it.
“Environmental activism has taught me that doing good is not a sprint, but a marathon, and we need to make ourselves tougher and stronger to keep going through the difficult times,” Hui Ling said. “There is a ray of hope in the youth activism of the last few years. The youths of today are well organised and passionate in expressing their desire for positive change and a green and sustainable future for all.” said Hui Ling.

My Uncle Joe had a farmland in the countryside. Every summer, I would spend a few weeks there, playjing around and doing some help. his farmland is often visited by crows (乌鸦). I discovered that they were so intelligent. They would drop nuts onto roads to be broken open by passing cars and even could use their sharp beaks (鸟喙) to open cups of bottles.
That day was the hottest day of the year. Even the birds would rest in the shades of our yard to cool themselves. Uncle Joe was wiping sweat off his face when he came into the house. “Ken, did you let the air out of two tyres on my old truck?” he asked me. And I denied.
“I guess I must have run over some nails,” Uncle Joe said. I helped him pump (打气)some air into the tyres so we could drive to the garage. The garage man couldn’t find any nails, It seemed it was due to the opening of the tyre valves (阀门).
“Maybe, Ken, here, was playing a trick,” he told Uncle Joe.
“I wouldn’t do that!” I said with red face, “Flattyres aren’t funny.”
“But there are only three others who live nearby, and they’re on vacation,” Uncle Joe said. “It’s a mystery.”
The next morning was even hotter. Uncle Joe stormed into the house, shouting at me, “Now three tyres are flat! Who else could be pulling such a trick?”
We pumped up the tyres again. When Uncle Joe went back inside, I decided to solve this mystery myself. I hid behind a bush, keeping an eye on the truck. Maybe some kid who is visiting one of our neighbors is doing it, I thought.
The sun got hotter and hotter. I got sleepier and sleepier. Suddenly I heard a ssst, ssst hissing sound. My eyes flew open, and I stared at the strangest sight I’d ever seen.
