China has made its due contribution to fighting against climate change.The author of this book — as a journalist witnessing the efforts Chinese leaders, such as Premier Wen Jiabao, had delivered at Copenhagen to save the world from a "no-deal" scenario — could not help but include in the collection the true stories of what happened last November and December ahead of another round of negotiation in Cancun. This is also the starting point for the conceptualization of this book. Climate change is not merely a political negotiation affair. For many Chinese, especially those in ecologically fragile regions, it's a life-or-death issue. The stories of those climate witnesses are also the shining parts of this collection.
