In resettlement areas, grand and luxurious houses stand side by side, yet the sidewalks remain abandoned, overgrown with wild grass as if no one has ever cared. These areas are only accessible to those with financial means, but the neglected sidewalks starkly contrast with the elegance of the homes.
When we started cleaning up—trimming the overgrown grass and collecting trash—the local residents looked on in surprise. They pointed and whispered, seemingly unable to believe that someone was taking the time to tidy up the area right in front of their houses—something they should have cared about long ago. But as the sidewalks gradually became clean and orderly, the space in front of their grand villas felt more open and refreshed. People started glancing at each other, perhaps realizing that they had been too indifferent to the very place they call home. #cleanup #clean #mowing
