      Get this though. They sent my grandfather to australia and my grandmother, with two children, to chilli!
      Only after 4 years did the mother and kids get status in Australia. (Probably wanted to see how my grandfather performed). The month before they were to leave Chilli to come to Australia, my would be uncle contracted the flu and died. My grandmother went crazy shortly after they landed in Australia. Likely due to the experiences she had in Chilli. (She didn’t know Spanish. They just sent them over and threw them in a box to fend for themselves back in those days.)

    You missed one of the big fun parts of Harbin. Deep underground, in the area for about a kilometre radius from the St Sophia church is an network of old 'fallout' tunnels that have been converted into long, skinny shopping malls. Deep in Winter you go down 3 long flights of steps from street level to get there. Most of the above ground streets have been replicated in tunnels. There's even an underground McDonalds. In winter it provides good protection from the -25º C topside.

      To be fair, there are birds in china. Zhejiang province seems to have more sparrows than the UK. However, in general, the UK is absolutely replete with birds, and the dawn chorus in summer sounds like a jungle. Not so much in china, which is weird given that it's mainly subtropical. Most of the countryside that I saw in china is depleted. Many European countries are much more densely populated than china yet retain a fair amount of wildlife and 'unspoilt' nature. That was one of the many things that made me glad to return to the UK after my stay in china.

      @@user-xq4st9ie7r I had to look this up:
      The "Four Pests" campaign was introduced in 1958 by Mao Zedong, as a hygiene campaign aimed to eradicate the pests responsible for the transmission of pestilence and disease:
      the mosquitos responsible for malaria
      the rodents that spread the plague
      the pervasive airborne flies
      the sparrows-specifically the Eurasian tree sparrow-which ate grain seed and fruit[1]
      By April 1960, Chinese leaders changed their opinion due to the influence of ornithologist Tso-hsin Cheng[6] who pointed out that sparrows ate a large number of insects, as well as grains.[7][8] Rather than being increased, rice yields after the campaign were substantially decreased.[8][9] Mao ordered the end of the campaign against sparrows, replacing them with bed bugs, as the extermination of sparrows upset the ecological balance, and insects destroyed crops as a result of the absence of natural predators.
      By this time, however, it was too late. With no sparrows to eat them, locust populations ballooned, swarming the country and compounding the ecological problems already caused by the Great Leap Forward, including widespread deforestation and misuse of poisons and pesticides.[9] Ecological imbalance is credited with exacerbating the Great Chinese Famine, in which 15-45 million people died of starvation.[10][11] The Chinese government eventually resorted to importing 250,000 sparrows from the Soviet Union to replenish their population.[12]

I used to say, " Actually, elk live in the mountains. Deer live everywhere. Squirrels and birds live everywhere. Rabbits live everywhere. I live in the city. I can see a squirrel outside my window." My higher level ( elite-level) students would tell me they never see squirrels or birds in the city, so I stopped saying those things.

    Don’t forget the Four Pests campaign-one of the first actions taken in the “Great Leap forward”. The thrust of this campaign was to eliminate four pests-rats, flies, mosquitoes, and sparrows. One was known as “Smash Sparrow”, a campaign in 1958 by Mao Zedong. Mao felt that sparrows ate too much grain and thus decreed that all sparrows be killed. Nobody knows how many sparrows were killed but estimates say that even if everyone killed at least one sparrow each, more than 600 million sparrows would have been killed, making it an extinct bird in China. Maybe that’s why you only saw one sparrow, not a flock of them?
