Blue algae breaks out in Taihu Lake Taihu The ecology is in danger

Suzhou literati: Chen Tianqu

The outbreak of blue algae in Taihu Lake has sounded the alarm that human ecology is in danger. The ecology of Taihu Lake is in danger! This is the revenge of heaven and earth on mankind!

Why did blue algae bloom in Taihu Lake? Relevant officials explained that due to continuous high temperatures and high temperatures, blue algae accumulated and exploded in Taihu Lake in a short period of time, and the water quality of the water source deteriorated. "Experts" say global warming is the main reason for the early outbreak of blue algae in Taihu Lake.

I don’t know how many springs, springs and autumns have passed through the ancient Taihu Lake? ! I don’t know how many hot and scorching summers we have experienced? !

This continuous high temperature is over forty degrees? still? joke! Are people easy to deceive? !

Over the years, there have been many people who have the same sense of historical justice as the author and have written many articles about "Taihu Lake Ecology is in Danger", but who cares about it!

Why does Taihu Lake water become smelly? The problem is: for a long time, it has not only been detrimental to the pollution control and sewage discharge measures in the Taihu Lake Basin, but also acted against the will, deceived the superiors and deceived the inferiors, fought against heaven and earth, and unscrupulously destroyed the ecology of Taihu Lake under the banner of "modernization construction". is the root cause. We can’t help but ask, is the blue-green algae outbreak in Taihu Lake a warning of global warming, or nature’s revenge on us? ...

"Taihu Lake is beautiful, Taihu Lake is beautiful, and the beauty lies in the water of Taihu Lake..." The vast expanse of Taihu Lake has rippling blue waves, scattered islands, dotted with fishing boats, and the gentle breeze; the green mountains and dense shade block out the sun. The pine wind is powerful, the ancient temples and towers are shadowed, and the strange rocks are majestic. The scenery here is beautiful and charming every step of the way, and there are allusions and legends everywhere. A soft-spoken song by Wu Nong sings out the vast softness and beauty of the 36,000 hectares of Taihu Lake. Throughout the ages, countless literati and poets have left many touching chapters in Taihu Lake. The pleasant climate, fertile soil, and hard-working people have given birth to the intoxicating and charming scenery of Taihu Lake.

Taihu Lake is in emergency, and cities near the lake have also sounded water quality warnings. The water pollution in Wuxi this time is a "sudden ecological disaster" caused by the outbreak of blue algae in Taihu Lake (Wuxi City Prefecture). Why did the graceful Taihu Lake suddenly become violent and cause a pollution attack on the citizens of Wuxi, the "Pearl of Taihu Lake"? The superficial reasons are that the water level in Taihu Lake is too low, and too much domestic, industrial and agricultural sewage is poured into it, which ferments into oxygen-rich water in hot climates, causing blue-green algae to bloom and cause pollution. In fact, this "ecological disaster" has revealed that the pollution of Taihu Lake is caused by humans. Because of poverty and urgency, we simply competed for land with Taihu Lake. Because of urgency and arrogance, we simply ignored history and culture. "Money" looks at it. In just a few years, Taihu Lake has changed beyond recognition. When people have not fully enjoyed the great achievements of their "modernization" happily, whether they are impatient or delusional, heaven and earth are affectionate and ruthless. At this time, heaven and earth are treating human beings. Corresponding retribution was made!

Taihu Lake was not polluted in the mid-1980s, but since the 1990s, Taihu Lake has become polluted as the region industrialized and the stench caused by algae growth in summer has become common. The prosperity of rural enterprises in southern Jiangsu, the take-off of Shanghai, and the primitive accumulation of the private economy in the Linhu area of ??Zhejiang Province, which people were once proud of, also became the source of the pollution of Taihu Lake. Taihu Lake has a surface area of ??only 2,400 kilometers, but its drainage area reaches 36,895 square kilometers. In ancient times, this place had the reputation of "Suhu Lake is ripe and the world is rich". Today, it accounts for less than 0.4% of the country's land area and 3% of the population. It has created 13% of the country's GDP and 19% of fiscal revenue. It is the largest economic and social center in my country. One of the most developed areas. The impressive economic figures have concealed Taihu Lake's overwhelming pollution removal capacity, making Taihu Lake polluted by industrial sewage, agricultural wastewater, pesticide residues and domestic sewage. Taihu Lake has transformed into a huge "swill bucket" while the people living on the lakeside are enjoying modern life.

Shocking! shocking! Since the launch of water pollution control in Taihu Lake in the mid-1990s, Taihu Lake has not escaped the curse of "development first and governance later", but it has also not spent less on water treatment in Taihu Lake. What a summit forum! ? What is the Shanghai Forum of Senior Experts on the Governance of Taihu Lake! ? The results are disappointing. For the public, what they expect is the merits of public governance rather than the ineffective hard work that consumes public resources.

“The ancients have never been seen before, and the newcomers will never be seen after.” It seems that the contemporary people are eager to express themselves and are “excellent and greater” than any generation, so they break through the world, cut down mountains and forests, and destroy the old. Build new. In just a few years, the green mountains were gone. Some ancient trees that were still alive beside Taihu Lake yesterday have disappeared today. A group of ancient trees may fall down by Taihu Lake every minute, causing serious damage to the natural environment of Taihu Lake. The natural ecology and cultural and historical ecology of Taihu Lake are in danger...

Some people say that this is a market economy. Isn't the market economy for better survival of mankind? Does the market economy only recognize "money"? Our generation cannot become a gangster-like generation of gamblers who only want "money" and don't want the environment or their children and grandchildren. If the beautiful ecology, lakes, mountains, rivers and seas, in the hands of our generation, become covered with scabies and acne, how can we bear it and say it rationally?

The public wonders, since the pollution control in Taihu Lake has both policy support, regional political awareness, and financial assistance, why is it so difficult to achieve results in Taihu Lake pollution control? The author believes that there are three major problems:

The first is the issue of cultural concepts. Our traditional Chinese culture talks about the "Five Elements", which means that metal, wood, water, fire and earth complement each other and develop in a balanced and coordinated manner. The so-called metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Material civilization belongs to metal, spiritual civilization belongs to water, and political civilization belongs to fire. Then ecological civilization belongs to wood, and social civilization belongs to earth. The real progress of mankind, countries, and dynasties lies in these five civilizations. of mutual complementation, balance and harmonious development. Economy is only a reflection of material civilization. If material civilization improves, the other four major civilizations cannot, okay? ? For this reason, one of the biggest ecological problems in Taihu Lake is the imbalance of the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire and earth.

The second is the issue of administrative divisions. The division of interests caused by administrative divisions has made Taihu Lake a blind spot or dead end that is difficult to trace in public administration. Wuxi scolds Suzhou, and Suzhou scolds Wuxi; Jiangsu scolds Zhejiang, and Zhejiang scolds Jiangsu; this kind of geographical administrative division is a difficult situation that everyone cares about and no one cares about. This is the first level of public security management that makes Taihu Lake pollution difficult to control. Troubled. The Rhine River flows through 9 countries in Europe. The water quality of the river is clear and the scenery along the coast is breathtaking. The nine countries along the coast regard the environmental protection of the river basin as a common interest and work together over a long period of time to control pollution in a coordinated manner. If 9 countries can do it, why can’t we?

The third is the damage caused by fence farming in Taihu Lake. Taihu Lake is rich in aquatic products, especially East Lake crabs, which are of beautiful quality and have a large area for pen breeding. The feed put in for breeding becomes fertilizer for the growth of harmful algae in the water, causing eutrophication of the water quality. Rotting of aquatic plants and crab excrement can have adverse effects on water quality. It is urgent to reduce aquaculture and restore Taihu Lake's own ecological environment.

Fourth is the damage caused by urbanization and industrialization around Taihu Lake. It is caused by the urbanization and modern industrial sewage discharge around Taihu Lake, as well as the domestic sewage discharge caused by the large number of villas and local people around Taihu Lake.

Fifth, relevant functional governments and management departments have deceived superiors and concealed information from subordinates, neglected their duties, and suffered serious corruption. Relevant personnel in relevant government and management departments ignore the laws of the country, and he or she is the law. If you take advantage of your power and bend the law for personal gain, what does the lake management have to do? ! As long as you bring money, you can fence for farming. It is stated that the contract is 50/10 acres, but in fact it is 20/30 acres. As long as the government above cannot see the water that cannot be reached. As long as you secretly interview the fishermen, there will be plenty of secrets!

Just last year, when leaders from above came to inspect the water quality and the situation of Taihu Lake, the relevant functional management departments would put a large amount of chemicals into the area inspected by the leaders, and at the same time use hundreds of farmers to wash beaches and stones along the coast. This was a huge and deceptive move. Superior.

The above-mentioned problems are the imbalance between development and environmental protection, the imbalance between material civilization, ecological civilization, and social civilization. They are the main reason why the beautiful Taihu Lake is so "stinky and beautiful".

This is a major life event for tens of millions of people, and it is also a major event related to the survival of future generations. The ecology of Taihu Lake is polluted, so what if we become rich?

When a coal mine boss ignores national laws and a gas explosion kills or injures workers, the coal mine boss will definitely be punished by law.

But they... I think about those officials who are in charge of Taihu Lake, the people have owed your power and responsibility, how can you explain to the people! When Taihu Lake is foaming, emitting bursts of stench, lifeless and dying; when the sewage slurry of Taihu Lake flows into thousands of households along with the water pipes, where is your conscience? I think there will always be a law that will punish you in the future.

Finally, I bow to those who have contributed to human ecological civilization and give my highest salute!
