The picture is wonderful, but what a shame for Chinese people it is.

Because so many foreign friends are calling on to protect the Great Wall, but some Chinese people are damaging the relic.

The people who should protect are only interested in drinking Maotai;getting drunk; KTV and visiting prostitutes; driving black audis; Porsche jeeps; eating exotic animals and seafood

I went to the " Great Wall Society of Ningxia" office near the Shuidonggou scenic area entrance. Guess what? Inside was just a table and chair. Nothing else.

In the USA and Germany, history and heritage is seen as pride and a reflection of deep culture. In China, they use it to earn money. Some even consider history to be a shameful part of China

事实上,当我1996年拍这张照片时,我还不知道羊群走过的是汉长城.我想说的是:像牧羊这样对长城的破坏 是令人遗憾的,但还不是最糟糕的——我在另一个地方曾见过因开垦者修路，而将长城挖出一个豁口！在另一个地 方，通讯公司把发射塔建在了烽火台上……你们可见到这些照片。

This is the Shandan County Gorge Village, a castle close to the Great Wall, with other similar sites, like Gap, the serious destruction of the city also, leaving this city of openings. But it's beautiful. Unfortunately, that is: when I was in the photo shoot when the foot points where the amended legislation into a plaza with many large rocks - and that government officials want to have it developed into a tourist zone to do ... ...

这是山丹县峡口村，一个紧靠着长城的城堡,同其它类似的古迹一样,峡口城也毁坏严重,只剩下这座城门洞.但 是它很美。遗憾的是：就在我当年拍这张照片时所站脚的地方，现在修成了一个立着许多巨大石块的广场——那是 政府官员想把它开发成旅游区时做的事情……
