      Here is the speech on the environmental protection made by the US ex-president Bill Clinton during his visit to Guilin .

      "We are all delighted to be among you in Guilin today . Since Chinese civilization first began to express itself thousands of years ago , its poems and paintings have sung the beauty of the land , the air , and the water . No place in China is more evocative of the beauty of your country than Guilin . The stunning mountains along the Li River are instantly familiar to millions and millions of Americans . When we see them , the landscapes of Guilin remind us of China's part , but we know they are alive , and we are grateful for their  preservation . "

      "Not so many years ago in the United States , one of our rivers was so polluted that it actually caught on fire . Foul air blanketed our cities , acid rain blighted our landscape .Over the last generation , we have worked hard to restore our natural treasures and to find a way to conduct our economy that is more  harmony with the environment . "

      "China's extraordinary growth has put the same kind of pressures on your environment , and the costs of growth are rising right along with your prosperity . You know better than I that polluted air and water are threatening your remarkable progress . Smog has caused entire Chinese cities to disappear from satellite photographs . And respiratory illness is China's number one health problem ."

      "We also know those more and more environmental problems in the United States , in China , and elsewhere are not just national problems . they are global problems . We must work together to protect the environment and there is a great deal that we can do together. "
