A yellow sand advisory was issued today. I got gloomy to hear that. I saw the disastrous scene of streets in Beijing and a highway of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. In Beijing, the sky was cloudy with yellowish particles. I'm afraid that lots of people would have respiratory problems. On the Mongolian highway, some people were removing sand on the road using a shovel. The visibility on the highway seemed to be only 20 meters. I don't mind where they want to go, but I'd like them to stop troubling other countries. I understand that they don't have the tradition to plant trees for the coming generations. It's a really pitiful thing.
