A stark reality on the environment. Pollution is one of the big problems that beset a highly urbanized city. Along with harming human health, air pollution can cause a variety of environmental effects. A stupendous write that brings an important message for the promotion of environmental health.10

An elegant piece of poetry! My favorite lines: The air is terrible, like dusk/And beauties are wearing masks. I appreciate the adorable style of your penning!

Glad that you like it, Dr.Swain. Native Beijingers are making the best of the situation. Most of them have a healthy dose of national and local pride.

Lo, the Beijing scene: A hundred leagues in blurring haze, A thousand leagues of floating dust. Around the 3rd ring road A stretch of thick fog white. The Beijing's Bird Nest Shrouded in gray depressed........this scenery of Beijing is really painful. People have to take proper care of environments. Chinese government has been trying hard to improve it. People should support to government. Beautiful poem on weather and environment. Thanks.

A very familiar scene.Yes, It's a social topic now - air pollution (heavy haze) has become a big headache to the beautiful city. If we take a good care of the environment around us and protect the ecological balance, the blue sky will stay long. Thanks for your poem.

Thank you for the great comment, dear Cigeng. Pollution is such a nuisance in fast-developing countries like China. A big headache indeed.
