I’m currently in China visiting my grandparents right now and so much has changed about my birth land, new buildings, new technology, but same air pollution still remains. I actually got sick again and felt my lungs burning from the pollutants :( Also the only reason I can still access social media sites like this is through a VPN. Internet censorship is as strong as ever.

I hope the quality of life in my birth country will continue to improve, but in more ways that just new material things. Clean air and freedom of information is just as if not more important.
