Plant and the Lianhua factory were not sure whether to worry more about the polluted air or the contaminated water they had been breathing and drinking for a large part of their lives. For much of the previous twenty years another Huai tributary, the Yun, that ran near to their homes had been choked with chemicals, while the air above, they said, had been tinted green on the smoggiest days. At the local industrial primary school, everything from windowsills to the leaves on the trees was coated in fine black dust. A cleanup was finally under way, but for many it was too late. “The rich folk have already moved out. Just a couple of hundred families remain. It has become a slum,”said one local woman. “Among those left behind, almost everyone over the age of forty has some kind of disease …We have complained about the pollution but no one cares.

Perhaps the most famous of them is Huo Daishan, who has led the battle again pollution in Henan. Huo smiled as he recalled nearly drowning in the Huai as a three-year-old. “There were lots of kids diving in the river and swimming around. It looked really exciting so I decided to join in. In I went, then down, down under the water thinking ‘Isn’t this fun!’Especially after a little while when I could see a blaze of lights in my head. Only later did I realize this meant I had fallen into a coma.”He came to love the river that nearly killed him. During his childhood in the 1950s it was a source of drinking water,
