Tapescript
The Great Wall winds(蜿蜒) through vast mountains, sometimes visible, sometimes hidden. Once a great project that underwent 23 centuries of construction, many sections of it have now fallen into ruin or even disappeared without a trace, depending on when they were built.
Each section of the Great Wall records its transformation through the years and has incomparable historical value. This section of the wall is not far from the famous Badaling Great Wall. Mr Mei Jingtian has walked this six-kilometre mountain path for 30 years.
Weeds not only affect the wall’s image, but will also speed up its collapse, as their roots grow into the cracks in the bricks. These past 30 years, Mr. Mei Jingtian has been pulling weeds throughout this section of the Great Wall.
After six long years of hard work by surveyors and archaeologists, in 2012, the State Administration of Cultural Heritage in China announced the final data that the total length of the Great Wall of China is 21,196.18 kilometres. This is equivalent to the distance between the North and South Poles on the earth’s surface. This is clearly an astonishing figure, for it is four times longer than what has been described in the textbooks of China as the "Wanli Changcheng (10,000-mile Long wall) of the Qin Dynasty.
Tapescript
Since 2006, Mr Mei, together with surveyors and archaeological experts, has been measuring this section of the Great Wall. This, obviously, is a tough but fun task.
For the last 30 years, this ordinary elderly man has been taking care of the Great Wall in his own simple manner.
With the participation of more volunteers, the area around the Great Wall has gradually become more natural and peaceful. Each time we approach the Great Wall, without touching it, we can feel the memories and strong emotions from the ancient times.
