Have you ever wondered who keeps the majestic mountains clean? High up on the steep cliffs of Tianzhu Mountain in Anhui Province, China, a team of extraordinary people work hard to make sure the mountain stays beautiful and clean. They’re known as the mountain’s “beauticians”! 🌟
For the past 20 years, over 100 brave workers, led by a man named Tu Yousheng, have taken on the daring task of cleaning up litter and picking up lost items from cliffs that are 1,000 meters high. That’s as tall as about 300 school buses stacked on top of each other! 🚌🚌🚌
Mr. Tu has been climbing and rappelling down these cliffs for so long that he has covered a distance of 2,800 kilometers. That’s like traveling all the way from Beijing to Urumqi! 🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️
Every day, they put on safety gear and carefully make their way down the rocky cliffs. Their hands are covered in calluses, and they often work up a sweat. But they never give up! They work hard to make sure that all the visitors who come to Tianzhu Mountain can enjoy its beauty in a clean and tidy environment. 😊
Next time you think about littering, remember the cliff cleaners of Tianzhu Mountain and how hard they work to keep nature beautiful. Let’s all do our part to keep the environment clean! ♻️🌳
