My Beijing, My Story
Beijing is a city that is always in flux. It is a metropolis that is constantly evolving, with new buildings and developments springing up all the time. And yet, despite all the change, there are certain things that remain the same. The people of Beijing are still incredibly hospitable and welcoming, and the city still has a unique charm that is all its own.
I have been living in Beijing for just over a year now, and in that time I have come to call this city my home. I love the fast pace of life here, and the endless opportunities for exploration. There is always something new to see and do in Beijing, and I never find myself getting bored.
Of course, living in such a big city does have its challenges. The air pollution can be tough to deal with, and the traffic can be incredibly congested. But, for me, the pros far outweigh the cons. I am grateful to have the chance to live in such an amazing and vibrant city.
If you are thinking of making the move to Beijing, I would say go for it! It is an experience that you will never forget. And who knows, maybe you will even come to love this city as much as I do.

last 20 years now I feel like I'm just a
Beijing boy that speaks putang Hua

production of Man of La Mancha I felt
very much in love with it I got to see
that show man of a mancha by the time I
was 14 or so and fell in love with it

theatrical Heritage I've kind of grown
up with men of La Mancha

I think theater including musical
theater are stories that resonate for
all people
across cultural and societal barriers
across language barriers you don't have
to go anywhere you just stay here and
talk and let Don Quixote come back and
forth to you and we're using some of
that kind of expression in this
production of medical mancha too there
are many Chinese art forms that I have
become a big fan of

the wenyu river is really important for
Birds the water quality has improved a
lot and that's probably meant that the
fish population has increased
so we have here today many many by Lou
the egrets and they breed here they eat
fish
Beijing is like a service station on
this Expressway and many different types
of birds can be seen here
I was seeing big numbers of birds you
know this is something that Beijing
should be very proud of and so that's
why I really started to build the
website and help to to create awareness
about the richness of the bird life here
in Beijing
one of the things that I did was to
research the number of birds that have
been recorded in different Capital
Cities
if you look at the G20 so the 20 major
economies of the world
they've been ranks number two behind
only Brasilia so it's it's much better
than my Capital City London it's much
better than Washington DC Paris
everyone wants to protect what they love
but they can only love what they know
you know that the key first step is that
awareness
there are many many Wildlife
Conservation ngos like Chantry
Conservation Center at Peking University
there's a NGO in Union focusing on
Gibbons NGO and xinjiang focusing on the
mountain Wildlife so all these local
ngos are springing up and all doing
great work to to celebrate and protect
China it's amazing natural heritage I
think I'll be working in conservation
all my life I think it's my it's like my
mission
even if I retire from a job you know I'm
sure I'll still be working on on
wildlife conservation
