In Baoding, China’s most polluted city, the smog is so dense that it’s visible; it can burn your eyes and leave an unpleasant taste in your mouth. This is the reality of daily life there, under a shroud of pollution. It’s the air that Zhao Shuang and his family breathe every day. He grew up in Baoding and remembers a childhood with sunny skies – something that is now rare. His young son is one year old, and has seen far more gray skies than blue ones. “When the pollution gets really severe, we can’t even see the buildings next to us,” said Zhao, from within the small apartment he shares with his son, wife, and mother. On Monday, the air quality index at one of the city’s monitoring stations was nearly 1,000, the worst figure in the country according to China’s Ministry of Environmental Protection. According to United Nations standards, an index above 100 is considered unhealthy for vulnerable groups. On the day Zhao spoke to CNN, the air quality wasn’t that bad – only four times higher than the United Nations’ threshold. But in a place like Baoding, that’s considered a good day. A city full of contradictions: Every morning, Zhao goes to work like thousands of others, wearing masks as they pass by coal-powered plants that emit pollutants into the air, while cold snow falls. Yet Zhao’s factory aims to make the coal responsible for much of the city’s pollution obsolete – ironically, Baoding is at the forefront of the country’s efforts in renewable energy. This city of one million people has been declared the world’s first “carbon positive” city, home to more than 200 companies that produce alternative energy and energy-efficient technologies. Zhao works on the production line for solar panels at Yingli Solar, one of China’s largest solar power companies. The company’s headquarters is located in Baoding, and its business is thriving. Over the past two decades, the company has rapidly expanded its production capacity, with plans to double it by 2020. “I believe there will be a significant growth in the renewable energy sector, whether it’s solar power, wind power, or other forms of energy,” said Allen Geng, the company’s international sales manager. The severe pollution in China’s skies has led to a surge in demand for cleaner energy across the country. In 2014, Chinese companies invested over $80 billion in projects related to hydroelectric, wind, and solar energy – more than any other country in the world.
I think I get it; it’s fog mai
The content is good; next time when posting, you can first copy it into a”.txt notepad” and then paste it into the post, and that way external links and sponsored content will be removed. :handshake
Okay, thank you! Give it a try next time!
Please check it; feel free to point out any mistakes. :In Baoding, China’s most polluted city, the smog is so dense that it prevents visibility; it can burn your eyes and leave an unpleasant bitter taste in your mouth. Baoding, the most polluted city in China, is covered by such thick smoke that it’s impossible to see anything. Smoke irritates the eyes and can leave a pungent taste in the mouth. This is the reality of daily life under the cloak of a toxic shroud. This is everyday life under the cover of toxins. It’s the air that Zhao Shuang and his family breathe every day. He grew up in Baoding and remembers a childhood with sunny skies. This is the air that Zhao Shuang and his family breathe on a daily basis. He grew up in Baoding and still remembers the sunny skies of his childhood. Today, that is a rarity. His young son is one year old and has seen far more gray skies than blue. Now, sunlight is very rare. His youngest son is only one year old and sees more gray sky than blue. "When the pollution gets really serious, we can’t even see the buildings next to us,” said Zhao, from inside the small apartment he shares with his son, wife, and mother. “When the pollution is extremely severe, we can’t see the buildings that are right next to us. ”Zhao said this while standing in their small apartment, where they were a family of four (living with his son, wife, and mother). On Monday, the air quality index (AQI) at one of the city’s monitoring stations was nearly 1,000, the worst figure in the country, according to China’s Ministry of Environmental Protection. According to United Nations guidelines, an AQI value above 100 is considered unhealthy for vulnerable groups. On Monday, based on the measurement methods used by China’s Ministry of Environmental Protection, the air quality index at one of the city’s monitoring stations reached 1,000, making it the place with the worst air quality in the country. According to the United Nations guidelines, an index above 100 indicates an unhealthy and high-risk environment. On the day Zhao spoke to CNN, the air quality wasn’t that bad – just four times higher than the United Nations’ guidelines. But in a place like Baoding, that counts as a good day. Zhao said to CNN that the air quality wasn’t that poor; it was only 4 times above the United Nations’ guidelines. But in Baoding City, this is considered good weather. City of contradictions/The city full of contradictions: In the morning, Zhao goes to work like thousands of others, wearing masks over their mouths as they pass by a coal-powered plant that is emitting smoke into the sky, while cold snow falls. Like thousands of other people, Zhao has to get up early to go to work. They were wearing masks (face masks?) ), just like snow falling into the buildings of carbon-based energy facilities that emit toxic gases into the atmosphere. But Zhao’s factory hopes to make the coal, which is responsible for much of the city’s pollution, obsolete – Baoding, ironically, is leading the country’s renewable energy efforts. Zhao’s factory is actually the source of pollution in that city; in Baoding, it is the steel industry that drives the use of renewable energy. This city with a population of one million has been declared the world’s first “carbon positive” city – it is home to over 200 manufacturers of alternative energy and energy-efficient technologies. Among cities with a population of one million, it was named the world’s first such city, with more than 200 companies specializing in alternative energy and energy-saving technologies. Zhao works on the production line that manufactures solar panels at Yingli Solar, one of China’s largest solar power companies. The company’s headquarters are located in Baoding, and its business is thriving. Zhao’s job is on the solar panel production line at Yingli Solar, one of China’s biggest manufacturers of solar panels. Her headquarters is located in Baoding Center, and her business is quite successful! The company has rapidly expanded its production over the past two decades or so, and hopes to more than double its current capacity by 2020. It has increased its output significantly over these past twenty years, with production levels expected to exceed twice the current level by 2020. "“I believe there will be a large increase in the renewable energy industry, whether it’s solar power, wind power or others,” says Allen Geng, the international sales manager for the company. “I’m convinced that the renewable energy sector will see significant growth, regardless of whether it’s solar energy, wind energy or other types of energy,” said Allen Geng, the company’s international sales manager. The severe pollution lingering in the skies over China has led to a surge in demand across the country for cleaner energy. The persistent heavy pollution in China’s skies has made the country’s need for cleaner energy even more urgent. In 2014, Chinese companies invested more than $80 billion in various projects ranging from hydroelectric to wind to solar energy. No other country in the world invested more. In that year, Chinese companies invested over 80 billion dollars in projects related to hydroelectric power, wind energy, and solar energy. No country in the world has **invested more funds.
That’s the fastest way. Alternatively, when posting, click “Plain text” in the upper right corner of the post and delete the string containing the URL – that will also work.
In the past it was ‘the country is destroyed, but the mountains and rivers remain’, while now it is ‘the country still exists, but the mountains and rivers are destroyed’’

I didn’t have time to finish reading it; the changes below are for reference only. The smog is thick enough to be seen; the fog is so dense that it can be viewed with the naked eye. A reading of more than 100 is unhealthy for at-risk groups. An AQI over 100 is already harmful to the health of high-risk individuals. On the day Zhao spoke to CNN, the air quality wasn’t that bad – just four times higher than the United Nations’ guidelines. On the day CNN interviewed Mr. Zhao, the air quality wasn’t bad at all – it was only four times higher than the United Nations’ standards. They wore masks over their mouths as they passed by a coal-powered plant that was emitting smoke into the sky, while cold snow was falling. They wore masks as they went by that coal-fired power plant; on that cold, snowy day, the plant’s chimneys were releasing smoke. But Mr. Zhao’s factory hopes to eliminate coal, which is responsible for much of the city’s pollution – ironically, Baoding is at the forefront of the country’s efforts to develop renewable energy sources. Ironically, Baoding has led the development of renewable energy in China.
