Fantasy travel in a village: "Blood lead toy tour group" is more worrying than "elephant tour group"

Recently, the circle of friends, TV stations and newspapers are all tracking reports

"Elephant Tour Group" in Yunnan

Since March last year, the elephants have left Xishuangbanna in a group, all the way north.

Over the past year, they have passed through many urban and rural areas

Entering a private house, eating noodles, drinking roasted wine, taking a bath in a pond, strolling on the street, walking on the highway...

Experts analyze reasons for elephant migration

The biggest possibility is that their habitat is not enough food

In order to survive, they had to leave their homes and find a new home.

And nearly 1,000 villagers in two villages somewhere in Henan

(The specific address cannot be disclosed until the media reports,

Worry about being harmonized immediately by the local authorities)

Over the years their children became blood lead children

Desperate and want to relocate

But it's not that easy to go on a trip

They plan to make 99 toys

Buy a train ticket per toy

Take the train instead of them and find their new dream home

The blood lead village a few hundred meters away from the smelter

Desire to relocate

In China, behind almost every incident of excessive blood lead is a polluted factory.

A smelter in a certain place in Henan, Central Plains (the specific address cannot be disclosed before the media reports, for fear of being harmonized immediately by the local authorities), it is only a few hundred meters away from the nearest village. Over the years, the villagers have been poisoned by pollution, and the smelter eventually relocated some villages to new homes, but there are still two villages where thousands of villagers are forced to stay where they are, including many children, suffering from pollution day and night. They generally have symptoms of insomnia, dreaming, lower limb pain, and memory loss due to lead poisoning and other heavy metals exceeding the standard.

Local children's blood lead is 2.5 times higher than the standard value

Who will protect the most precious resource - our children?

The United Nations report says lead is a potent neurotoxin. Children are the first to suffer if it seeps into soil and water or becomes airborne. WHO has confirmed that young children are particularly vulnerable to lead poisoning. They can suffer serious and permanent damage, especially to the development of the brain and nervous system.

A doctor said: "The first people to discover lead poisoning are often children, because lead dust floats at a height of about 1 meter above the ground, which happens to be the height and breathing height of children."

The latest domestic research results show that if the blood lead in children exceeds 100 micrograms per liter, the intelligence index will drop by 10 to 20 points. Experts from the International Alliance to Eliminate Lead Poisoning in Children warned that if China does not pay attention to the prevention and control of lead poisoning, the average intelligence of Chinese people will be 5% lower than that of Americans in 20 years.

The United States also experienced a period of high incidence of lead poisoning in children, but the government and health departments took active actions and vigorously promoted it, and even launched the "National Lead Poisoning Prevention" campaign week, with the slogan " Protect the most precious resource-- our children ".

"Elephant Tour"

Drag the family to the north to find a new home

"Blood Lead Children's Toy Group"

Taking the train south is also looking for a new home

Why did 99 blood lead toys take the train to start a journey of seeking dreams for thousands of miles?

Because the home has been shrouded in poison gas for many years, there is no way to complain about blood lead poisoning of children!

We plan to collect 99 toys from children in the villages where the pollution source is located, representing these villagers who have been harmed by pollution for many years. They want to relocate the poisonous land but are powerless. So far, they live in a village that is only a few hundred meters away from the smelter. These 99 toys represent the poisoned children as well as the desperate adults. These 99 toys will take the train, and we will buy a hard seat ticket for each toy (with the ID numbers of the 99 local poisoned villagers) Purchase, each hard seat ticket is about 250 yuan), from Henan to Kunming, long-distance travel, just to find a home without pollution in the distance.

99 sad and clumsy toys representing their sad owners. They want to escape from their heavily polluted homeland to find their dream home. From Henan to the south of Yunzhi, the most livable place in China, it is a 34-hour train hard seat, a journey of nearly 2,000 kilometers.

Not all childhoods are happy, and not all fairy tales have happy endings, but through this journey of blood lead children's toys, we hope to push relevant departments to face up to the problems and solve them! Promoting relevant local departments to help meet the wishes of families with children with blood lead: move the whole family and escape the source of pollution!

Fundraising time: June 6th - June 12th

Implementation time (tentative): September 15th - September 25th

Projects we've done before ➘➘➘

In 2015, in response to air pollution, we made "smog bricks"

At the beginning of 2015, Chai Jing's documentary "Under the Dome" on the smog investigation exceeded 100 million broadcasts and was later blocked. In the middle of the year, we went to Beijing and spent 100 days, from hot summer to cold winter, on the streets of Beijing, pushing more than 200 kilograms of industrial vacuum cleaners every day, collecting dust in the air, and finally mixing the dust collected in 100 days into pottery clay to make A "smog brick" was created. It was the worst time of Beijing's smog every year. This brick carried the general dissatisfaction of everyone, and it was widely disseminated and aroused extensive discussion. Some netizens commented: "This brick It was shot directly on the forehead of the Minister of Environmental Protection."

In 2016, in response to light pollution, we launched the "Artificial Starry Sky"

More and more light pollution has caused more than 60% of the world's people to not see the Milky Way. The artificial starry sky is an immersive behavioral installation. In the 700-square-meter pure black exhibition hall (7 meters high), the official visit is limited to two couples (gay, heterosexual, husband and wife, etc.) each time, each time 6-10 minutes. When the couple enters the huge dark space, they can directly control the lighting or extinguishing of more than 3,000 star lights above their heads by shouting out hundreds of words (through voice recognition technology) (there is a 700-square-meter black mirror at the foot, which can Mapping the ever-changing stars above), for example, when couples say positive words such as "freedom" and "equality"..., the stars will light up in response, and when they say negative words such as "kill" and "slavery" ( (including some sensitive words)..., then the stars will disappear; through continuous shouting, the audience will continue to dialogue with the world, creating a wonderful starry sky that is constantly changing, and experiencing a series of emotions such as pure quietness, loneliness, surprise, deep thinking, romance, and rebirth. Fluctuate, relive the intimacy between man and nature.

In 2018, in response to water pollution, we launched the "Nongfu Spring Supermarket"

We replaced 10,000 bottles of Nongfu Spring with the villagers of Xiaohaotu Township, and then used empty Nongfu Spring bottles to fill the local polluted water, and transported them to Beijing and Xi'an for an exhibition "Nongfu Spring Supermarket". Through the follow-up series of projects such as "The First Xiaohaotu Environmental Protection Hero Selection", "Crowdfunding air tickets for the chairman of the coal mine, flying thousands of miles to Shanghai to learn garbage classification", "Adding some salt to the sea", etc., we have joined forces with NGOs, media, enthusiasts and local The villagers acted together. Later, the Ministry of Environment intervened. Together, we pushed the local government to spend more than 100 million yuan to build deep wells and pollution control for the whole township of Xiaohaotu, so that the safety of drinking water for the whole village was basically guaranteed.
