People in Beijing cannot see the sun because the air is full of smog (a mixture of smoke and fog). The smog is so thick that it blocks the sun all day. People really miss seeing the sun. Beijing’s leaders decided to put giant LED screens across the city. People stand in front of the digital screens and watch the sunrise. The screen in Tiananmen Square also had a special message on it. It was a public announcement that read: “Protecting the atmosphere and environment is everyone’s responsibility.” The live, digital sunrise is really a hit with tourists. One from Mexico said: “It looks like science fiction. It’s kind of cool, but it’s also worrying.” The air quality in China’s cities often becomes bad in winter. People burn more coal for heating in the winter months. This causes more pollution. Many workers wore face masks on their way to work. They did not want to breathe the poisonous air. One man told reporters: “I couldn’t see the tall buildings across the street this morning. The smog has become worse in the last two to three years. I often cough and my nose is always running.”
