Wang Fengqin, a 61-year-old woman in Beijing, volunteers to sort rubbish in her living area in Beijing Chaoyang District.
At 6:30 every morning, while half of Beijing is still in sleeping dreams in bed or enjoying a delicious breakfast, Wang rushes through her busiest hours in the day.She gets up, gives her face a quick wash, takes a simple breakfast and rushes to the four rubbish dustbins beside the gate of her living area.There she checks the waste left by her neighbours to make sure it is sorted correctly.
"Sorting rubbish will improve the environment for all of us and it only takes a minute," Wang said."I want to help my neighbours develop good habits."
As Wang spoke, an old man came by and threw a plastic bag full of rubbish into the dustbin marked "recyclable(可回收)".
"Hey, please there are some orange peels and fish bones in your bag, so they are supposed to be put into the dustbin marked ' kitchen waste '," Wang told him.
Learning the old man was in a hurry, Wang let him go, opened the bag herself, picked out the kitchen waste and threw it in the right dustbin.
Wang has been doing this every day from 7∶30 am to 9 am and from 6 pm to 8 pm since March 10.She says people usually go downstairs and throw out rubbish at this time.
Most people had no idea about sorting rubbish at first, but now 90 percent can put rubbish in the correct dustbin, Wang says.However, she plans to keep doing this job until all her neighbours sort correctly.

I don't know how she met my father.but after they met several years, they got married and moved into an apartment in New Jersey.Then I was born and we were a perfect family of three who went out to dinner and watched movies in the dark and loved each other.
