在新界的鄉野和岸邊，政府建造了一些人工河道和人工斜坡。這些看似平淡無奇的結構不是為了美學目的而存在，卻在防洪和抵禦山泥傾瀉方面發揮著重要的作用。然而，這些結構在特定的時間和環境條件下會展現出一種不同的生命力。每逢旱季，當這些人工構造物開始逐漸乾涸，排水孔和地表的空隙上會有一些野草、灌木或青苔悄悄地生長著，這些植物成為了這些構築物的點綴。
In the countryside and along the shores of the New Territories, the government has built some artificial channels and slopes. These seemingly unremarkable structures are not designed to beautify the environment, but they play an important role in flood control and resisting landslides. However, these structures exhibit a different kind of vitality at specific times. Every dry season, when these structures begin to dry up, some wild grass, shrubs or moss grow quietly in the drains and on the ground, and these plants become the embellishments of these structures.
