从北京出发,朝任一方向开出160千米,看不到一条健康的河流。朝西进入中国的产煤大省山西省,人们看到的是一条又一条枯竭的河流。即使是那些仍然有水的河流,其中80%的水质已被政府评价为四级,即“不适合人类接触”。 Departure from Beijing to either direction 160 km, can not see a healthy river. West into China’s coal-producing province of Shanxi Province, people see one after another of the depleted river. Even those rivers that still have water, of which 80% of the water quality has been assessed by the government level four, “not suitable for human contact.”
