Description

There is the Sisilon Island, which enters only inland from the eastern port of Santau. There are dense factories and workshops that are processing the reusable parts of discarded electronics. Electronic waste and waste plastics from around the world are disassembled, processed and re-processed on the island. The taxonomy and disassemble work is done by man, and here by the local tots, by the eyes and nose and hands of foreign workers called 'the garbage man.'. Both local and foreign people are willing to make a dollar more on the island, and they share common dislikes of it. Women wash with their bare hands in the black water, and children jump on plastic ash, play, or swim in dark blue ponds where polyester films float. The ancient wisdom of the irrigation and geography to overcome the natural conditions has turned into acidic solution ponds filled with broken displays and plastic waste or melted circuit boards. A combination of toxic chemicals and white mists that are produced and plastics burning in river and field, a green gray mist that is added to the atmosphere of the island, permeates the motherland of all living things.

Colonies and empires and dynamics in developing and developed countries are nothing but plunder that is not covered by any words. I've been sent to the studio to remind you of what we think China is supposed to be a factory in the world. The situation in this story is the reality. We put the garbage on a boat and we send it to the doghouse, where people are separating it and living. The background of the waiter's line is the capital. Not so long ago, we were Chinese as well. Not now, right?

A book that was so intense and so painful, that it was a novel that was all about its wealth and its resources and the people who had no control over the means and the means by which it was used to use the children, and it was about the idea that we would grow up with a book force that was closer to Sf than it was to thrill.

Covered in the last chapter of the book, the cover is fresh again. It looks like garbage accumulates to create mountains and form a village. That's where the trash people in Silicon Island, the background of the book, live. And in those harsh circumstances, people who bond with each other and cry and laugh and sometimes fight in anger. In fact, I don't like SF fiction. There's only so much to be done with your imagination, but it's hard to visualize things with your mind. Nevertheless, the

Weast Tide is a novel by SF of the sky-spot writer. I was curious about the SF work written by Chinese writers, and I was expected to be a poetic story, as it were, of environmental disaster. Silicon Island, bordered by a Chinese port city. The island is a place where waste is processed around the world. As environmental pollution becomes so severe, corporate terra Green, who specializes in recycleing, proposes a contract to relieve the country of crisis and sends out a care species from here

Where all the trash is coming together. There are people who live off the garbage and use them to enrich themselves. One side changes the body into a fashion, while the other side breaks it down and processes it. I remembered that once our country was also arrested for illegally exporting trash to China. In the end, someone has to step forward to changing the world, and it shouldn't be accompanied by someone's sacrifice. The most embarrassing SF novel I've read recently.

The novel begins with the arrival of a foreigner and his home island, Kai, who are trying to bring down the garbage people and tera Green project on the waste - Island. Among them is the fun of reading from abundance of descriptive parts. I was afraid it would be too much for the future. Because of the garbage age, it seems that if we don't solve the problem, we are warning them that silicon is our future.
