BEIJING: No one is a hero, a renowned Chinese leader once said, until he steps onto the Great Wall. Nowadays too many Chinese want to become heroes, as they flood onto the Great Wall and carve their names on its bricks.
The Great Wall has been suffering this graphic damage for many years. Now according to a Xinhua News Agency report the Association for the Great Wall and the management of the Great Wall at Badaling have initiated a joint campaign to curb the graffiti vice and also invite proposals as to how the wall can best be patched up and repaired so as to better protect this World Heritage site.
