Q: Can you hear the birds?

I can hear them. Everything stops tonight. And we can hear nature again. I can hear the birds singing. But the Chinese can't. Can you hear the birds?

Yeah, I heard the birds the other afternoon. Yesterday afternoon/night not so much. (unless some birds go BANG)

I find Chinese people don't appreciate nature as much as e.g. I do. Nature is something to be combated not enjoyed. I have yet to be "in nature" in China where the isn't a paved/concrete path and streetlights. I know I can find that further out in the sticks but why not also near the bigger cities ?

Industry stops. traffic stops. I open my windows and hear nature. Love it.
