A Great Wall on the Tibetan Height

A Great Wall on the Tibetan Height


A Japanese researcher was once on a bus running on the Tibetan Height.

He was feeling really high, enjoying the splendor of the great grassy plain.

Meanwhile, other travelers, mainly Chinese, on the bus were throwing garbage out of windows to the wayside of the highway cutting through the Tibetan Height.

On the great grassy plain, a bus was running, tossing empty cans, plastic bottles, paper bags, and other miscellaneous garbage out to the wayside.

The Japanese traveler found that simmering lines were also running along the highway lanes as far as he could see.

Now he knew what they were. A Great Wall of Garbage was under construction on the Tibetan Height.

Yes, I saw the video on the Internet.

A Tibetan was shot and fell on the snow field where several other were also escaping from gunshots fired by Chinese soldiers.

The Tibetan Height seems to have a size equal to Western Europe or the area west of the Mississippi.

In the 21st century or the 22nd century, the height might be very useful and important for human beings which are said to face serious climate problems.

However, garbage highway and easy firing today on the height might be very ominous not only for China governing the territory now but also for mankind.

If you throw garbage out of a window of a public bus in Japan, you are asserting that you are a very dangerous person sitting among decent people.

Nonetheless, I can understand it means nothing when you have to be careful not to be shot or bombed while riding on a bus on a street of Iraq or Afghanistan.

Yet, I hope that I will be comfortably riding on a bus in any places on the earth just like in Japan. With no garbage throwers, no shooters, and no suicide bombers, you also should be going.
