On October 3, the top half of the famous “Stone Old Man Sea Eclipse Pillar” in Qingdao, Shandong Province suddenly collapsed. Many netizens felt sorry for the damage to the 17-meter-high sea eclipse pillar which has stood for 6,000 years. According to the on-site investigation by experts, it is believed that due to perennial weathering and seawater erosion, together with the influence of recent weather, the Shilao sea erosion column has collapsed naturally. The official said that the “Old Stone Man” will be urgently repaired in the future.

Of course, some people call it “the sign of great evil”. A stone longer than the history of Chinese civilization cannot escape the laws of nature Why should humans with limited lives demand back?

Perhaps due to concerns about the appearance of politically-related comments such as the above, the well-known popular science writer @中国METEOLOGY opened the “Comment Selection” directly when publishing the news, and some real-time comments could not be displayed. Some netizens are surprised that the weather information comment area will also open the restriction comment operation.
