How the photo relates to the theme of 'risk':
" "Bid farewell to the traditional past and welcoming a standardized future," says a slogan written on a dismantled wall, around Dianchi Lake. In an attempt to embrace an Oriental Geneva, the local government is dismantling villages around Dianchi Lake to standardize an eco-future. Once has thrived a civilization, the Dianchi Lake, like many other lakes and rivers in China, serious polluted during opening up and reform period."
