Balanced restoration of natural wetland landscapes Location:Qiantang River,Hangzhou Provience,China Date:2021 .03 Type:Cooperation Team:Yang Chenxuan,Wang Junyu Advisor:Si Zhen 19940023@zafu.edu.cn

BACKGROUND The Qiantang River is the only river and sea wetland in Zhejiang.

The Qiantang River area in Hangzhou has become an important rest stop for migratory birds heading south and a haven for many resident birds. However, since 1966, excessive reclamation of the south bank of the Qiantang River is currently the most important anthropogenic disturbance activity affecting the bird dynamics of Hangzhou Bay, and moderate reclamation and reasonable post-reclamation land use practices may enhance bird diversity levels throughout the region. In order to effectively protect the bird diversity in Hangzhou Bay, especially the bird diversity in the natural intertidal zone, the conservation and sustainable use of mudflat resources should be strengthened; during the process of mudflat reclamation, sufficient number and area of high tide resting places should be preserved as much as possible, with emphasis on creating a variety of artificial wetland systems in the enclosed area suitable for bird habitats.

RECLAMATION PROCESS AND CHANGES IN BIRD POPULATION The best representative of Qiantang River reclamation is Xiaoshan, which is located on the south bank of Qiantang River. Since the large-scale reclamation in 1966, in 40 years, Xiaoshan has reclaimed a total of more than 500,000 mu of land, which is a quarter of its total land area.

With the construction of a large number of reclamations, bird habitats along the river have been severely destroyed, and the number of birds has dropped sharply

BALANCE A BRIDGE OF VIOENCE AGAINST WOWEN

Location:Dadar Railway Station, Mumbai, India Date:2021.09 Type:Cooperation Team:Yang Chenxuan,Xu Hanwen Advisor:Si Zhen 19940023@zafu.edu.cn

BACKGROUND According to global statistics on female assault, India ranks first in sexual violence. And according to Indian media reports, Mumbai, India is the least safe place for women, with an average of one sexual assault case every 15 minutes. Data from the Praja Foundation, a non-governmental organization, shows that crime rates in Mumbai are skyrocketing, with a 289 percent increase in rape cases over the past five years compared to 2021, and a 287 percent increase in sexual assault cases over the same period. In addition, thefts, break-ins and murders are also on the rise. The majority of victims in these cases are women. For the impact of the data, this was studied and discussed in more depth. On this issue, we conduct research on the criminal space and speak out for women.

A morphological and water purifying planting area

Location:Shanghai City Date:2020.06 Type:Individual Team:Yang Chenxuan Advisor:Cai Jianguo yuanlinzhiwu@163.com

BACKGROUND Pollution condition of water body in Shanghai was researched in detail, the result shows that organic pollution in the main water body of Shanghai is increasing. Eutrophication in the Huangpu River basin has begun to threaten the water quality in the upper reaches of the Huangpu River and is affecting both the normal water supply of local water sources and the coordinated economic development of Shanghai.

The main pollution in the Huangpu River basin is pollution from ships, which causes damage to the surrounding water and air environment during navigation, port berthing, loading and unloading of cargoes, and is diverse, mobile, infringing and hazardous.

SHIP POLLUTION CAUSES EUTROPHICATION OF WATER BODIES The organic pollution of Huangpu River, the main water body in Shanghai, is becoming more serious, with TP 0.23 mg/L and TN 4.03 mg/L, exceeding the standard more seriously, and there are conditions for eutrophication to occur. The main cause of eutrophication is the pollution of docks.

Bacillariophyceae

PHYTOPLANKTON SPECIES IN THE HUANGPU RIVER 10.25%

Cyanobacteria 44.26%

The greater the proportion of phytoplankton, the more severe the eutrophication of the water body.

In addition, nitrogen and phosphorus are essential nutrients for phytoplankton growth

An idea for a treatment mechanism for the Pacific Garbage Patch Location:Pacific Ocean Date:2020.10 Type:Cooperation Team:Yang Chenxuan,Xu Hanwen Advisor:Cai Jianguo yuanlinzhiwu@163.com

BACKGROUND The Pacific Garbage Patch is often portrayed as a giant floating land mass in the middle of the ocean, a vortex of 4 million tons of plastic waste in the Pacific Ocean. More than 8 million tons of plastic are abandoned in the ocean each year, accounting for 80% of marine litter. While plastic has brought great convenience to human life, white pollution is also increasing.

According to a 2018 study conducted by The Ocean Cleanup, microplastics make up 94 percent of the estimated 1.8 trillion plastic parts in the Pacific Garbage Patch, but this represents only 8 percent of the total weight. Of the 79,000 tons of plastic floating in that garbage belt, 46 percent of the weight came from discarded fishing gear, while 20 percent came from plastic debris brought in by the 2011 Japanese tsunami. Some plastic garbage enters the ocean through various ways, forming marine microplastics, which directly or indirectly endangers the marine ecological environment.

VISION

URBAN EDUCATION GENTRIFICATION

To propose the concept of an inclusive and egalitarian ideal city with homogeneous education Location:Hangzhou, Zhejiang Provience Date:2021.06 Type:Individual Team:Yang Chenxuan Advisor:Ning Huijuan 20060083@zafu.edu.cn

BACKGROUND

AXIS

Exclusionary dislocation of existing low-income families due to the gentrification of educational facilities. Such gentrification is associated with different stages of education and greater social class mobility. It is particularly noteworthy that education-related gentrification exhibits some typical features in urban China. The division of school districts has led to a competition for scarce educational resources that is mapped to the phenomenon of "School District Gentrification" in urban spaces. Some scholars argue that the phenomenon of school district gentrification in China is a process of capitalization of urban space based on the production end.

This process not only excludes the lower classes from a privileged space (exclusionary dislocation), but also fundamentally cuts off their upward mobility the next generation's access to cultural capital through education.

The effects are undoubtedly more far-reaching compared to displacement in the general sense.

CONSTRUCTION OF EDUCATION NETWORK

Different schools are distributed on different unit axes according to the same type, and the education system of the whole city is formed by a three-axis network, so that everyone can reach the school equally and receive the same education. Functional land is also evenly arranged in the form of units to balance the excessive increase in housing prices.

BACKGROUND

DEPRESSION

Mr. Lu (December 4, 1996 - November 28, 2021), a photographer from mainland China, threw himself into the sea on November 28, 2021, after posting a suicide note on his Twitter account on his birthday. The cause was severe depression caused by childhood school bullying, tragedy in his family of origin and social pressure.

Mr. Lu was a photographer I had been following. We lived in the same city and were about the same age as me. Every time I see his photography, I find it very healing. The point of light in the darkness is always so bright, and that's what makes all the persistence. He is a sunny, dreamy, imaginative and creative photographer. When I finally saw his dynamic updates, I didn't expect it to end with a suicide note, which I couldn't accept.

The battle of depression quietly broke out. Strangers, please don't be stingy with your smiles and compliments. Be kind to others and maybe you can save a life that is about to leave. At this moment, I think I wish the world would be gentler to everyone, regardless of race, religion and gender.

I sincerely hope to read this last letter from Mr. Lu before reading the work

“Hi, this is LU. This is the last time I have introduced myself like this Today is the day I was born How should I introduce you to me, rural villages, left-behind children, mountain children, school bullying experiences, photographers, young people living alone, dream chasers In this way, I seem to have too much identity to talk to you, but I want to say too much, but I don’t know how to say it.

Let’s start from my childhood Just because I looked like a girl when I was young, I was bullied, verbally violent, excluded, bullied, kneeled, threatened in school. People in my family always say that I don't like to talk, but no one has thought about the reason why a person becomes such a person. It is easy to hurt a person, but it is difficult to heal a person. In the long years that followed, I was accompanied by long campus bullying.

Please stop bullying on campus .......

Strangers, please remember that you are worthy of being loved!

People like me, please love us more. We never lack the spirit and motivation to fight for a better life, never fear difficulties and obstacles, but have no love.

Please start loving your child now It is not a straw that crushes me, it is countless grains of sand, and every step I take is like walking with a mountain on my back. ......

Probably because of longing for love and wanting to be redeemed, I wanted to create a god, just like those figures walking on their stomachs in the past, so the subject matter of shooting is all mythological type. King full of love, without pain or injury. .......

When I decided to stop here, during this journey of life, I was devastated and beaten to blood. I think life is like this. I can't think of a better way of relief except for death. Or it’s not enjoyment anymore, but the load forward, I’m exhausted, reorganized a million times, broken a million times, death is not the end, life is... I have forgotten when I started to write this suicide note, I have repeatedly revised this letter many times. It records my emotions in bits and pieces. It has been written intermittently for a long time. I am thinking, how can I write a good one about my feelings in this world, expressing my short and short time Another long 25.

My death has nothing to do with anyone, and I don’t want to blame others. This world needs more love, not harm. I am not crying about how difficult I am or how difficult I have encountered. It is more difficult than me. I just want more people to know that love is always the most important thing. ......

It took a little time this year, to see my friends again, to have one last meal, thank you, my friends, thank you for your company in so many late nights, thank you for listening to me talking over and over again; my friends, In the last days of my life, I always think about the happy time together; thank you, when I roll and tremble in the cold sea, thank you for lighting a little star to warm me, I am nothing.

I have done my best to handle everything, pack all my luggage and send it home, I don't want to trouble anyone anymore.

What a wonderful world, but I know you never belonged to me Thank you for reading this suicide note.”
