In the eyes of American scholar William Brown, environmental issues are the very essence of life for the Chinese people.
In Ya'an, Sichuan Province, villagers living near the mountains are no longer cutting trees and have now become "forest guardians" who help protect the Giant Panda National Park. In Shanxi, once a significant coal-producing province, barren saline-alkali lands are turning green and solar panels are providing electricity for an entire county. This progress embodies the ecological wisdom of the Chinese people.
Since ancient times, the Chinese have viewed humanity and nature as a holistic entity, with human happiness being closely related to nature. In today's China, ancient environmental wisdom has evolved into steadfast exploration of paths for green development, as the country pursues modernization where humans and nature coexist harmoniously.
