STORYLINE:

SOUNDBITE (Chinese): ALINA, Ukrainian student
"Hello, everyone. I am Alina, an international student from Guangdong University of Finance and Economics. In the landscapes of Raoping (Guangdong Province), I encounter a rekindled surge of poetic inspiration."

The Huanggang River meanders gracefully. Reservoir outflows stream.
Walking along the green bamboo path interwoven with light and shadow. The vast bamboo sea is filled with a fresh rural atmosphere. Villages and bamboos never abandon each other. People and greenery stand together.

SOUNDBITE (Chinese): ALINA, Ukrainian student
"Do you know? This is a 'forest town.'"

The water is clear, reflecting the sleeping mountains. "Sky blue" and "ecological green" interweave. The mountains and rivers are picturesque.

"Green and beautiful Raoping has also attracted rare animals to inhabit this land."

In recent years, rare animals such as Chinese white dolphins, purple Swamphen, coots, blue-tailed bee-eaters have frequently appeared in Raoping. Their arrival is the gentlest hymn to this land, and the most sincere praise for this ecology.

I want to use a camera to record these beautiful pictures one by one. But I found that no matter how much nostalgia, it's better to personally immerse oneself in Raoping. Embracing "green," and moving towards "beauty," I realize that the poetry collection of Raoping has already inscribed the words 'green and beautiful' on the home page.
