“To hear that the Green Films and Solutions for Better Planet Tour is to be organised makes me feel very happy. In fact, everyone should attach great importance to our environment. What we need to do is to make use of nature at our convenience for our lives, but make use of nature does not mean to change it.
Now with climate change many living beings can only be seen in textbooks or museums. This is an extremely irresponsible example for our future generations. We wish to create a “good living environment” for them but we are thinking only from a small inside the home environment point of view and forget the planet we need for our survival.
The concept of publicising environmental conservation among the public through films is a new and effective way. I would like to promote this event in my program.”

“Greenland glaciers fracture, the accelerated melting of Arctic ice, the Maldives islands disappearing ..., these far-away matters have not touched us yet. A rainstorm can change the boundless avenues, a hurricane can uproot and remove the trees of the streets, thunder can make the roofs collapse, all these phenomena constantly remind us that the cities where we live are very fragile when facing weather disasters. As a result, environmental conservation is no longer just a question of feeding people and plundering the natural resources of the whole world in the style of the merciless former colonial powers. China as a developing country is facing a serious water resource problem, this late and desperate effort makes us recall the old proverb: “fixing the fence when the sheep is already lost” - better late that never.
Thus, holding such an activity has a cautionary purpose. At this point, I sincerely wish for Green Films and Solutions for a Better Planet Tour events to be successfully held and can contribute to saving our blue planet.”
