  • Dark Side of the Chinese Moon
    REVIEWS Chen Guidi and Wu Chuntao, Zhongguo nongmin diaocha [Survey of Chinese Peasants] People’s Literature Publication Company: Beijing 2004, 460 pp Publication suspended March 2004 Yang Lian DARK SIDE OF THE CHINESE MOON A growing literature in recent years has documented the disparity between rural and urban living standards in China, and the deteriorating situation of the country’s 900 million peasants. Li Changping’s bestselling Telling the Prime Minister the Truth, He Qinglian’s Modernization’s Pitfall and other pathbreaking works have explored the social costs of China’s headlong econ- omic development. Intellectual journals and the popular press alike have devoted acres of space to the crisis in the countryside. Amid this ferment, Chen Guidi and Wu Chuntao’s Survey of Chinese Peasants stands out for its vivid narratives of peasant life and for the real voices of the toilers that speak from its pages. Not only does it name the names, one after another, of the petty local tyrants whose abuses and brutalities make these agricultural labourers’ lives a living hell. The Survey also raises the underlying political question of how this situation came about. Chen and Wu—they are husband and wife—both come from peasant backgrounds, in Anhui and Hunan Provinces respectively, although they have made their careers as writers in the city. Wu had written warmly of her village childhood in an earlier essay, ‘Cherishing a Faraway Place’, while Chen, a novelist, had written on environmental questions. On 1 October 2000 they set out from Hefei, the provincial capital, some 500 miles south of Beijing, to explore the conditions of peasant life throughout the fifty-plus counties of Anhui, from the floodplains of the River Huai to the Yangtze Valley, travelling by bus or even on foot to reach the remotest villages.

  • Assessing Heavy Metal Pollution in Surface Sediments of China's
    Pol. J. Environ. Stud. Vol. 28, No. 6 (2019), 4495-4502 DOI: 10.15244/pjoes/94992 ONLINE PUBLICATION DATE: 2019-07-30 Original Research Assessing Heavy Metal Pollution in Surface Sediments of China’s Shaying River Kaisheng Zhou* Geographical Science School of Nanjing Normal University, Nanjing, China Center of Environment Science Experiment, Bengbu University, Bengbu, China Received: 24 June 2018 Accepted: 8 September 2018 Abstract To comprehend the contamination levels of heavy metals in surface sediments of Shaying River (Anhui Section, China), samples of sediments were collected using grab samplers in 14 sampling sites in the river. Chromium (Cr), cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), and lead (Pb) in sediments were monitored via flame atomic absorption spectroscopy, and arsenic (As) via atomic fluorescence spectroscopy. The geo-accumulation index (Igeo), pollution load index (PLI), and potential ecological risk index (RI) were applied to evaluate the sediment pollution of the five heavy metals. The results indicate that the mean concentration levels (range) of Cr, Cd, Cu, Pb, and As in sediments were 58.38 (29.89-116.66), 5.41 (3.14-10.93), 38.51 (23.77-60.83), 35.10 (19.28-82.21), and 0.44 (0.13-1.46) mg/kg, respectively. The mean Igeo values of Cr, Cd, Cu, Pb, and As were -0.69, 5.41, 0.36, -0.13, and -4.84, respectively. i The average potential ecological coefficients E( r ) of Cr, Cd, Cu, Pb, and As were 1.95, 324.70, 6.42, 7.02, and 0.29, respectively. The RI values of the five heavy metals ranged from 197.65 to 687.24, and the mean was 340.38.

China has 123,000 km of navigable waterways, of which 61,000 km are officially classified for commercial navigation purposes. Most of the commercial waterways are well positioned to link the prosperous eastern coastal regions, which have increasing demand for raw materials, with the resource-rich but less- developed inland and western regions. This mutually beneficial connection helps to achieve the nation’s central and western development strategies. 2. China’s inland waterway transport (IWT) industry already handles about the same volume of freight as the USA and the EU waterways combined. Accelerated economic growth in China is generating a greater demand for the transport of coal, construction materials and other Public Disclosure Authorized bulk materials and goods.
