The efforts Xiamen has made in ecological protection over the last 20 years have helped it become a beautiful and clean city.TWENTY years ago,I had the opportunity to travel to the city of Xiamen in southeastern China’s Fujian Province.Unfortunately,due to the fact that I was in a rush,I did not have the chance to see the whole city.My memory of Xiamen was its pleasant climate and unforgettable beauty-I knew if I ever got the opportunity,I would revisit this place.Twenty years went by until I was able to return to this city again.After emerging from the airport,I realized that I had grown older,while Xiamen was becoming increasingly youthful and vibrant.What exactly had given this city such vitality?
