epilogue
No matter which country it is, it has its own unique beauty, but for the island country, it faces more challenges, and the slightest problem can lead to the fall of the whole country.
Therefore, if we want to solve this problem, we must plan ahead, and if it does happen one day, it will also be a very big lesson for it, and we must take it as a warning.
I believe that it will gradually get better over time, and we must also protect our environment.
