BESIDES posing health hazards, Beijing's notorious smog is taking its toll on people's spirits - at least according to a leading Chinese director.
"Cornered by the terrible weather, I have nowhere to go," said film director Chen Kaige, a newly elected member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. "I am unable to focus on my artistic creation."
Smog has shrouded many parts of the country since the beginning of 2013. Beijing experienced only five days with clear skies in January.
Chen cited the death of a prized jujube tree two years ago as evidence of the worsening environment in Beijing. "If a tree dies like this, how can humans fare any better?" he said.
Chen vowed to raise more awareness on environmental pollution in his new role as a political adviser.
