In China， each year we produce about 150 million tons of city waste according to report．Where does the waste go？ People usually burn or bury（埋）it．On the other hand， we receive waste from some developed countries． We get useful materials from it．What about the useless part？ Still burned or buried．But is it a proper way？
Waste pollutes the environment， harms people's health and causes animals to die．It also gets in the way of green and sustainabledevelopment． We can't make money at the cost of the environment．We should leave clean water and green mountains to our next generations （一代人）．
China is getting really serious about waste now．
We are taking less waste from developed counties．From January 2018，China started to stop 24 kinds of waste coming into our country．And more laws and rules about dealing with waste have been made．Anyone who breaks the law will be punished．
China also tries to put waste into good use． One example is the waste electricity factories． They burn waste to make electricity in a green way， No harmful gases or water will get into the environment．
The Chinese government is encouraging people to do waste sorting （分类）． Cities like Shanghai，Chongqing and Beijing have their own storing systems．More will join then soon．As President Xi Jinping said during a visit to Shanghai，waste sorting is a new fashion （时尚）．More and more people are forming the habit of separating their waste．

Last year， I went to Italy as an exchange student． Before leaving，I asked my mother what gifts I should take to the teachers and the students there． Mom said that the Chinese fan was a good choice，for China is praised as"the Fan Kingdom"．I couldn't agree more，because it is more than a tool for cooling． It's also an important part of Chinese culture．
I went shopping and bought three kinds of Chinese fans． The first kind was the feather （羽毛）fan for the teachers， which was made of bird feathers． It was the symbol of Zhuge Liang， a very smart man in ancient China． The fans I bought for the girls were silk fans． They were also called "round silk fans"． Fans of this kind were made of silk with paintings of beautiful women， birds or flowers． They were very popular with women of all ages． As for the boys， I picked the folding fans from Rongchang ， a place in the west of Chongqing． The folding fans were made of paper and bamboo and there were great paintings and calligraphy （书法） on them．
At the welcome party in Italy ，my new teachers and classmates were all excited to get the wonderful fans． And they were even more excited after learning about the stories and culture behind them．
