Every country has its typical animals. Some animals can even stand for the country. So which animal can best stand for China? Maybe you would say the panda because it is Chinese national treasure. But there is another animal that can really represent China and even Chinese culture the dragon. Although nobody knows if there is a dragon in the world, it has been regarded as the symbol of China for thousands of years. There are many descriptions of dragons in Chinese history.
The dragon is the symbol of emperor in ancient times, and the dragon is great, because it gets the respect of all the Chinese people. In China, the dragon is an amazing animal. Even now we call ourselves descendants of the dragon, and we are, proud of it. But in the western countries, people think the dragon is a strange thing.It is a terrible animal like a huge snake , and it’s not positive and beautiful.

Since the pneumonia epidemic broke out in Wuhan in December, the number of people infected and patients who have died keep climbing. It is reported that the epidemic has something to do with the killing and selling of wild animals at South China Seafood Market. With the decrease of wild animals, many animals are endangered. Worse still, some of them may disappear forever.
There is no doubt that hunting and killing wild animals has a bad influence>For>wild animals are killed for their fur, which causes the imbalance of nature. For another, due to the contact between humans and wild animals, epidemics like SARS and pneumonia may infect humans easily.
As far as I am concerned, something must be done to stop this illegal action. First, Nature Reserves are supposed to be built so as to offer more living space to wildlife. Second, be aware that never have wild animals for food, as they are part of environment. Third, it is high time that we raised people’s awareness to protect wildlife. In this way, we can build a harmonious society and ensure a sustainable development.
