Tang Xiyang was a reporter for Beijing Daily from 1952, but was denounced as a Rightist in 1957. In 1980 he became editor of the Great Nature magazine, and later he wrote the book A Green World Tour, which has become important for China's younger environmentalists. From 1996 he has been organizing "Green Camps", which in turn has led to spin-off camps in many parts of China. The last years he has been a tireless lecturer, in 2005 alone he delivered 130 lectures in 17 cities.
