The author was born and raised in Northeast China, where winters were once bitterly cold. I still recall the harsh chill from my childhood. Back then, I had to bundle up tightly before going out, with only my eyes showing. Frost would coat my eyelashes and turn them white.Today, I can step outside without a hat, and my ears are no longer at risk of frostbite. Driven by global pollution and climate warming, the environment has been severely damaged. Winters in Harbin are no longer as frigid as they once were. This leaves me feeling disappointed. I love the vast icy snowscapes of Northeast China, a preference rooted in my upbringing. May the frosty winters of Northeast China and Harbin endure forever, and may the Ice-Snow Festival last on, unmatched across the world.
