When storm clouds gather and the wind blows strongly, most people choose to stay at home. But some run to the danger. Photographer Liu Yijing is one of them. He records storms with his camera.
One of his photos showed a supercell storm(超级单体风暴) in northern China on August 22, 2021. The picture became the cover photo for Advances in Atmospheric Sciences, one of the most important journals(期刊) in its field.
The supercell is a type of storm. It can last a long time and travel long distances. And it usually comes with dangerous weather conditions, including hailstones(冰雹) and winds.
Recording storms became Liu's interest in 2020. In 2021, Liu traveled about 24,000 kilometers across China, running after and recording them.
While a storm may be beautiful in a certain sense, for most farmers storms are very terrible. Once, an old farmer cried and told Liu that storms brought his life into great trouble. The young man suddenly realized that the things he loves can bring disasters to others.
As a result, he decided to do something to help the public better understand storms and their influence(影响) on people's lives. He tried to explain the danger of storms to the public. He also calls on everyone to take action to help fight against climate change.
“I hope my efforts can help people better understand nature,” Liu said.

Hello, everyone!
I'm Li Hua, a Grade 8 student in Sunshine Middle School. Today I want to talk about how to keep safe during floods.
When floods come, water rises quickly and covers streets. If you are at home, it is wise for you to move to higher floors right away. If you are outside, never try to walk through deep water. In a word, the higher you are, the safer you will be. Finally, shout or call 119 for help if you get stuck. Follow these tips and you can keep yourself safe.
That's all for my video. Thanks for watching.
