In 1980 he became editor of the "Great Nature" magazine, and later he wrote the book "A Green World Tour", which has become important for China's younger environmentalists. From 1996 he has been organizing "Green Camps", which in turn has led to spin-off camps in many parts of China. The last years he has been a tireless lecturer, in 2005 alone he delivered 130 lectures in 17 cities.
