Features: Born a journalist, Wang Yongchen, along with her friends, organized the environmental NGO Green Home Volunteers. Under conditions of no funding and no fixed affiliation or activity locations, they persistently carried out environmental public welfare activities. With her camera, microphone, and pen, she faithfully documented these activities, warning people not to cling to yesterday's mistakes and to treat nature with kindness in order to spare future generations from suffering. Over the past 20 years, her footsteps have left imprints on the grasslands of Inner Mongolia, the deserts of Xinjiang, the sources of the Yangtze River, the northern Tibetan Plateau, and the snow-capped mountains of Yunnan. This book, through hundreds of selected color photographs and concise, simple text, showcases the past and present of nature, records the destruction of the ecological environment caused by unreasonable human activities and the severe consequences that follow, and expresses the author's concerns and hopes.
