Unlike a fool such as Greta Thunberg, Isabella Bird, the British woman who traveled around the world in the nineteenth century and left travel accounts describing the realities of various countries, was truly remarkable.
Once again, a new coronavirus has emerged from China.
Even without seeing it, one can imagine the appalling sanitary conditions at the market in Wuhan where the outbreak originated.
Unlike a fool such as Greta Thunberg, Isabella Bird, the British woman who traveled around the world in the nineteenth century and left travel accounts describing the realities of various countries, was truly remarkable.
She was, quite literally, a formidable woman.
It is only natural that she became a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society.
Until she visited Seoul, she had considered Beijing, China, to be the filthiest and dirtiest city in the world.
Why are people in the Chinese cultural sphere so untroubled by unsanitary environments?
It is no exaggeration whatsoever to say that this, too, stems from their essential nature of “bottomless evil” and “plausible lies.”
Greta, in any case, it is no exaggeration whatsoever to say that the roots of all manner of evils lie in China: air pollution = global warming, novel influenza viruses, an evil hegemonic ideology and its product, the Belt and Road Initiative, human-rights repression, and even the establishment of the surveillance society depicted by George Orwell, etc.
