II. 学习榜样
Simon想参与海滩清洁活动,在搜索过程中,他了解了一位守护三亚海洋生态的志愿者的事迹。
Li Jin was born in Guangxi but raised in Sanya, Hainan. Li has made great efforts to protect the waters of Sanya in the past several years. He is now spreading the knowledge of environmental protection. He does this through the internet.
Around 2014, he began doing volunteer work to clear rubbish from the beaches and officially registered as a volunteer in May, 2017. Li took the lead in a clean-up activity on the Sanya River. In April, 2021, he used his own money to set up a volunteer service centre. The centre has 1, 170 registered members who take part in all kinds of activities without asking for payment.
Because of Li's growing influence in environmental protection circles, the city government invited him to make a number of short videos in 2021. In the videos, he used simple words to explain how to protect the environment. Several of the videos have been watched millions of times.
By 2023, he had spent about 3, 800 hours on volunteer activities in over 550 events. More than 2, 300 people have joined in the activities with his encouragement. They have drawn the attention of both adults and children to the importance of protecting oceans and beaches. His centre has organized 51 beach-cleaning activities which have seen about 1, 800 people join in since it was set up.
"Although many people speak highly of my work, what I have done is not for the praise. I just want to make a difference to environmental protection. My volunteer work would be meaningless if I was paid. It is everyone's duty to protect the environment. The work itself is of great value, so I will continue doing the environmental protection work, " he said.
