If human beings disappear forever, what will the city where human beings live become?

If human beings disappear forever, the cities where human beings live will become barren and uninhabited. At first, cultivated land was abandoned by wild plants, and the growing trees destroyed buildings and roads. Plants attract herbivores and herbivores attract carnivores. Finally, the high-rise buildings in human cities are slowly abandoned, collapsed and occupied by animals and plants. Then, after years of natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, floods and even nuclear leakage, coupled with plate changes, there are basically few left. Iron products rust and corrode, wood products rot and moth-eaten, glass breaks and plastics decompose, leaving only some ruins of human traces. There may be a group of orangutans and monkeys who have evolved higher wisdom to rule the earth and discover ancient high-tech relics.

In recent years, due to global epidemics and natural disasters, people pay more and more attention to environmental protection, which is a big problem worthy of deep thinking and human attention. Most of us want to protect ourselves and every family member from virus infection and sudden physical disasters, and everyone can live safely in this world. The pneumonia epidemic in 2020 makes the city streets we live in seem empty, which is a bit gloomy in the doomsday movies.

It's sad to see the once vibrant city, but now it's quiet and empty, and it's abandoned. When we see this picture, it is bound to make people fidget. When one day we can't go out because of environmental factors, we will stay at home for a part of the time except shopping in full gear or receiving treatment. This reminds us of an exhibition by a photographer named Chris Moran a few years ago.

Chris Moran is a French artist who is keen on photography and sometimes shoots short films. He also holds a degree in architecture. When he traveled in Cambodia, Angkor Wat left a deep impression and inspiration on him. Angkor was once the capital of the Khmer Empire.

He said: "When you look at these buildings, you can't help thinking that they might have been more impressive and amazing in the past than they are now. However, Angkor Wat collapsed sometime in the15th century. Slowly, nature took over it, and desolation and decline replaced it.
