		<description>This is exactly the reason that I strongly disagree with the â€œtrendyâ€ anti-GMO environmentalists. 

China does not have the luxury to promoting low yielding â€œorganic agricultureâ€ (itâ€™s scientifically wrong to say organic food is nutritiously better anyway).   Under the heavy pressure of sustaining the populationâ€™s demand of food, China should actively take GM food as a powerful solution to feed itâ€™s people.  The land is decreasing yr after yr. The only way China can feed its  large population is through the increasing of productivity per unit of land. New crops with better capacity to deal with pests, more tolerant to drought, and higher yielding, will largely rely on the new genetic variations created by GMO technique. 

Yes, itâ€™s a matter of survival or collapse.</description>

		<description>amazing. You had first hand experience but I've never been there (I've never been anywhere except a few big cities). I like travelling but hate the physical demand and inconveninence (translate: lazy).</description>

		<description>I spent 5 years of middle school time in GanSu. I do still remember how I feel the climate there. During Spring season when there was always strong wind,(I am not sure if i should use "gust"),girls usually have their scarfs(almost transparent) and boys always have their glasses in their backpacks in case wind visited us at any time. Even armed in this way, when I got home, there were too much sand and dirt in my ears, hairs.  So when I saw women in BJ used scard during the Sand storm from TV, I was so familar with that scene in my mind. 

Thanks for your asking. That encouraged me to try to maintain my blog. I do not want to make it a mental burden to me by pushing myself to update it always. But I do need to take more care of it.
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival. A bit late^_^</description>
