I visited the forest park with Mr Cao last week. I found there were not enough there. I’m going to help the Forest Centre build new hiking paths in the mountains. It’s going to be great —I’ll spend seven days living in a forest and enjoying the clean mountain air. I’m going to with friends in the day and then sleep under the moon and stars. It will be a nice sport, and I’ll be able to do good at the same time.
