Arrr, matey! That grand scheme be makin' the Chinese scallywags scrub the air in Beijing, and it spread like a sailor's tall tale to ports far and wide! But lo! The whole venture’s been tossed overboard, like a stinky fish! What a jolly mess, eh?
Ahoy mateys! Gather 'round, fer I’ve a tale of woe from the far-off lands of China, where the air be thick enough to cut with a cutlass! Once upon a time, a grand initiative set sail, pressurin' the goodly rulers of Beijing to scrub the skies clean o' that foul, murky breath. Aye, it worked like a charm, makin' the air as fresh as a sea breeze, and soon spread its sails to dozens of cities, makin' ‘em all feel like they were on the high seas, free from the stench of landlubber life.But lo and behold, just as the seas were calm and the air was sweet, a storm brewed on the horizon! The initiative, like a ship caught in a whirlpool, found itself abruptly halted. Arrr, what treachery be this? The cities that once sang praises to the clearer skies now be left gaspin' for breath, like a fish outta water. It seems the winds of change have turned, leavin' our noble cause stranded on a deserted isle. So, me hearties, let us raise a tankard to the good ol' days of clean air and hope that the sails be hoisted once more, lest we all end up snorfin’ like a scallywag from a leaky ship!
