No More Nest And No More Birds.
Personal memory by Yige Zhao
2002 • 中国陕西省榆林市
When I was a kid, there was always a nest of swallows on my home's window, my parents and I would always build some nests for them and hang them on the trees. Last year when I back to my home town, I didn't see any swallows. Because of the pollution, China's nature world has been polluted more and more, I almost can't hear any birds singing or see any butterflies that I loved to see when I was a child.
