We always hope our life will go well, but sometimes it doesn't. It is my hope that, at the moment that I die, I will be able to think that,"You know, my life really wasn't so bad at all". Bike is a good tool for improving the quality of my life.

China cancels waste project following protest
Chinese officials have canceled plans for an industrial waste project in the coastal city of Qidong. The action comes after more than 1,000 demonstrators gathered in the streets to protest plans. They pushed cars over and invaded government offices. Local officials released a statement on Saturday, saying the project have been canceled after protesters clashed with police. The project involved a pipeline that would have emptied industrial waste from a nearby paper factory into the sea. Protests against project that harm the environment have increased in China. 30 years of unrestricted industrial expansion in the country have resulted in several cases of mass poisonings and health scares.

中国当局は、海岸部に位置する啓東市での産業廃棄物処理計画を取りやめた。計画に抗議するため1,000人以上の抗議者が町に集まったあと、このような動きになった。抗議者たちは、車をひっくり返し、行政関係の事務所に押し入った。地方政府は、土曜日抗議者たちが警察と衝突した後、計画は中止となったことを伝える声明を発表した。計画では、産業廃棄物(排水)を近くの製紙工場から海に流すパイプラインも含まれていた。環境を破壊するプロジェクトに反対する抗議行動は中国国内で増加している。中国国内では、30年間の制限のない産業振興がいくつかのケースで大規模汚染や健康被害をもたらしている。
My opinion/thought on this news
The paper factory is managed by a Japanese company, so I am a little bit afraid that this movement might lead an anti-Japan movement.
