How powerful can a person be? During the 30 years of China's reform and opening up, Liao Xiaoyi answered this question to countless people in China. Liao xiaoyi is a car-free family forever, preferring to take the subway or bus, and only chooses to take a taxi when he is in a hurry or the traffic is really inconvenient; In the absence of outsiders to visit, the office does not open air conditioning, try not to take the elevator; Only take a bath once a week except in summer; Don't buy or accept cashmere products presented by friends.
She tried to convey the idea to the people around her through her own behavior: less material desires and more spiritual prosperity will make another life possible.
"The' 26-degree air conditioning energy-saving action' is not only an economic saving behavior, but also an environmental protection fashion that cares about maintaining the ecosystem. It is also a humanistic concern for future generations. In fact, it is a quality education. " "Living in a materialistic world is indecent, unwise and unhealthy. The real decompression is liberation from material desires, otherwise it is a slave-like life. " Liao Xiaoyi said that he had never installed an air conditioner in his life. "This is not only an environmental issue, but more importantly a health issue. Since people entered a constant temperature environment, human life functions have deteriorated. Don't sweat in summer, and don't open your pores when they should. In winter, when it's time to shrink, it can't. The more I sweat in summer, the happier I am, because my metabolism will be better, which indicates that I will be healthier next year. " "In fact, everything we do is a goal, which is to promote public participation, that is, to promote citizens' environmental protection through civic awareness and civic participation. "
