Aim2D: real time, 24/7 #ChinaBusinessMarketing, Tech and Social Media News Portal of The Bicaverse based in sunny Shunyi, North east Beijing.

Friday is image gallery where we examine a place, topic or subject giving you greater insight, background to life in China, and of course, your Chinese consumer. If hard, practical, realistic China consumer marketing support is what you need, do drop into our sister site: Unegager. Finally, in a sign of the times, we can assure you that our content is 100% loving created and hand crafted by a fellow human. No AI chatter bots here.
For this Friday’s image gallery we’re drawing inspiration from The Ancyent Marinere. If you’re thinking the what, here followeth a quick explanation.
The Rime o’ The Ancyent Marinere, better known as Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner, is a poem by Samuel Coleridge, written sometime in the 1700’s. It’s classified as a poetry, but TheBic, as a young, 14 year old student, it seemed like a tediously long novel that rhymed, written in a foreign language~
Probably one of the best known phrases is: “Water, water, every where, And all the boards did shrink – Water water everywhere and nor any drop to drink.” Full version.
In short, the poem postulates that all life on earth is precious and the best way to live is in harmony with and respect for nature. Else nature and the super-natural will rise up to destroy humankind.
If you’re keen to understand the poem better, this site has an intellectual analysis; Literary Theory and Criticism or a more student orientated site here: The Rime of the Ancient Mariner Summary and Analysis.
That was written almost 225 years ago. Sadly, today we still have not fully understood this. Globally, the summer / winter of 2022 has seen unprecedented floods and droughts.
In the US, Lake Mead is revealing some of it’s gruesome past as water levels drop. In China falling lake levels in Sichuan are creating electricity generation issues. Meanwhile, other parts of China are experiencing devastating floods.
So, it is from here we sail on to today’s post. In fact, a hexalogy as we have put together 6 image collections looking at the droughts and floods in China this year. All links are courtesy of Caixin Global – a safe and secure site.
To put the following into contest, all 6 galleries were shot in August 2022. For those of you who may be a little China geography challenged, we have added short location tabs. This neat little map of China’s Provinces might help too.
