Since the night of the 19th, North China and other places have suffered in an all-round way, and now the scope of smog has obviously expanded, and 12 provinces and cities such as Northeast China and Central China have not been able to escape the bad luck of "the cold wind blows the smog, and the thick clouds cover the sun and hide the sky" …
Foreign media reports
The Guardian highlighted the number of cities swept by the smog:
"Telegraph" said, how bad is this smog? The group map brings you the most intuitive impact:
CNN is more direct-the school factory is closed. Is it serious? !
The New York Times said that it is no longer appropriate to call this level "smog". This TM is called "meteorological disaster":
Fortune magazine reported the smog disaster in Beijing (and its surrounding areas) these days:
Beijing and the surrounding provinces are experiencing a steady smog haze that the government has deemed a serious enough threat to public safety to sh ut down businesses, restrict cars, and close schools around the capital city.
Beijing and its surrounding cities have been affected by severe smog recently. Due to the serious harm to public health caused by this smog, the Beijing Municipal Government announced that factories were shut down, vehicles were restricted and schools were closed.
Despite the preventative measures, which started Friday, by Monday evening the city’s air quality index had reached 260. That’s more than five times what’s considered healthy and eight times New York City’s level. Outside of Beijing, the index level climbed twice as high.
Although Beijing has started defensive measures since last Friday. However, as of Monday evening, Beijing’s air quality index was still as high as 260, which was five times higher than the healthy value and eight times that of new york. In the surrounding areas of Beijing, this figure is even twice that of Beijing.
Like embarrassing smog episodes before this, the best the government can hope for is strong winds to clear the air.
Similar to every previous smog pollution accident, the only thing the Beijing municipal government can do is to expect a strong wind to purify the air.
Three years ago China’s central government approved measures to dramatically reduce air pollution over 20 years. The causes of the country’s air qualit y issues—coal-derived power, poor quality gasoline, and unregulated heavy industry—do not have quick fixes, and the government isn’t sure it can reach its goal for two decades.
三年前，中央政府启动了一系列政策，目标在未来20年内改善空气污染问题。中国空气质量问题产生根源有如下几点：对煤炭能源的过分依赖，汽油燃料的落后，以及重工业的管理不当——这些问题都无法在短期内得以解决。因此，对于是否能在20年内达到预期目标，政府也忧心忡忡。
Smog remains a contentious point among the Chinese affluent urban class. In Chengdu earlier this month, police shut down a city center to prevent protesters complaining about pollution.
雾霾也引来了都市居民的广泛争议。本月早些时候，成都警方被迫叫停了一座城中村的建造工程，以平息民众的抗议。

Hazy jokes
But no matter how difficult the time is, we must have a heart of taking pains and having fun-in the face of smog, Duan Zishou is as dedicated as ever!
1. The real warrior faces the smog.
2. The smog expression pack is online
3. Today is not a good day to go down to earth
4. The reporter also joined the teasing team.
The serious translation of Fortune Magazine;
In Beijing, online posters seem to be taking it in cynical stride. One Weibo user said she was listening to the local radio station when a man called and said the smog outside was so serious he couldn’t see the traffic lights. He had already driven through six red lights.
In Beijing, netizens’ various "spits" hit the nail on the head. A user in Weibo said that she heard a man connect to the local voice, saying that the fog was so thick that he couldn’t see the traffic lights clearly, and he had already ran six red lights.
“What I’m going to do? ” he asked. The host reassured him and told him not to worry: Considering the density of the fog, traffic cameras and policemen couldn’t see him.
"What should I do?" The man asked. The host comforted him and told him not to worry. In such a heavy fog, neither the camera nor the traffic police should see him clearly.
How to deal with smog
How to deal with smog? The first thing to do, of course, is to wear a mask and go out!
However, there are really few fashionable masks on the market now, but a China designer came up with a "mask for detachable sports shoes":
A Chinese designer is dismantling valuable pairs of sneakers and reinterpreting them as smog masks in a bid to tackle pollution in China.
A designer in China dismantled expensive sneakers and converted them into haze masks to deal with air pollution in China.
The Beijing-based creative, Zhijun Wang, first began experimenting with re-purposing sneakers back in 2014 when the former marathon runner noticed the air was not clean.
When Wang Zhijun, a Beijinger, participated in the marathon in 2014, he found that the air in Beijing was a little dirty, so he began to transform and reuse sports shoes, and began his journey of mask transformation.
Most Chinese citizens wear face masks as a result of extreme pollution but despite this, there is a severe lack of fashionable choices on offer.
Although most people in China wear masks due to heavy air pollution, there is a serious shortage of fashionable masks in the market.
As a result, he challenged himself to create face gear that was both functional and stylish.
Therefore, he decided to challenge himself and create a mask with both function and appearance.
For his first creation, he used a panel from a Nike Jacket combined with a Nike Flyknit racer silo shoe but his next was exclusively crafted from a sneaker.
His first work was transformed from Nike jacket and Nike flying line running shoes, but his second work was completely transformed from a sports shoe.
Since then, he has gone on to create around twenty unique masks all made from collectable footwear and fitted with 3M filters.
Since then, he has successively transformed about 20 unique masks, all of which are transformed from shoes with great collectible value, and installed 3M filters.
The most lauded of which was crafted from two halves of Yeezy’s orange and grey primeknit uppers with the signature “SPLY 350” branding visible on either side.
One of the masks is the most popular. It uses two and a half pieces of Yeezy’s orange-gray knitted upper, and the iconic "SPLY350" brand is clearly visible on both sides.
The special-edition mask drew an impressive bid of more than $5,000 on eBay China.
This special mask sold for more than $5,000 on eBay China, which was impressive.
Zhijun Wang is clear that China still has a long way to go when it comes to bridging the gap between fashion and environmental consciousness but his tr endy twist on the ubiquitous face mask is certainly fuelling a much needed dialogue.
Wang Zhijun knows that China still has a long way to go to combine fashion with environmental awareness. However, his creative transformation of ordinary masks will inevitably promote the necessary exchange and dialogue between them.
"As long as there is sunshine and oxygen in your heart, the smog will eventually disperse" is obviously nonsense. Wearing a mask is the first step to save your life …
It is said that heating also has an impact on smog. …
So, which do you choose, smog or heating?
