are doing important work collecting rubbish. What they do is not dirty. Littering the street is, he adds.

calligrapher (书法家), he lived in Huangshi, Hubei Province.

working for nearly 20 years to stop people from getting the bile (胆汁) from moon bears for use in traditional
medicine.
She began working for the International Fund for Animal Welfare in Hong Kong in the mid-1980s. A
business trip to a bear farm in the mainland in 1993 changed her life. She saw so many moon bears killed by
people. That made her cry. She said she would be back to set them free.
In 1998, she set up the Animal Foundation. In July 2000, the foundation agreed to free 500 farmed moon
bears. In 2002, the Moon Bear Rescue(救援) Center was set up in Chengdu, capital of Sichuan.
Now, bear farms have been sto pped in the area of two-thirds of China. "As much as we rescue them,
they rescue us. These bears rescue us every single day and they teach us to be better people," Robinson says.
