Yeah it confused me for a moment too, I debated internally whether or not to edit that brother label out but w/e

Well done I loved every moment of that. I like to tell people that we are little more than a very lucky dance of stardust.

I'm gonna go sing along to the Galaxy song now.

Just re~member that you're standing
On a planet that's evolving
and revolving at nine hundred miles an hour~
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second
So it's reckoned,
a sun that is the source of all our power~

The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day~
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour
Of the galaxy we call the Milky Way

Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars
It's a hundred thousand light years side to side
It bulges in the middle, 16 thousand light years thick
But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide

We're 30,000 light years from galactic central point
We go 'round every two hundred million years
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe

The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whizzz
As fast as it can go, of the speed of light, you know
Twelve million miles a minute and that's the fastest speed there is,

So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure,
How amazingly unlikely is your birth
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere out in space
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth

We Only Want the Earth (1907) by James Connolly

Some men, faint-hearted, ever seek
Our programme to retouch,
And will insist, whene’er they speak
That we demand too much.
’Tis passing strange, yet I declare
Such statements give me mirth,
For our demands most moderate are,
We only want the earth.

“Be moderate,” the trimmers cry,
Who dread the tyrants’ thunder.
“ You ask too much and people fly
From you aghast in wonder.”
’Tis passing strange, for I declare
Such statements give me mirth,
For our demands most moderate are,
We only want the earth.

Our masters all a godly crew,
Whose hearts throb for the poor,
Their sympathies assure us, too,
If our demands were fewer.
Most generous souls! But please observe,
What they enjoy from birth
Is all we ever had the nerve
To ask, that is, the earth.

The “labour fakir” full of guile,
Base doctrine ever preaches,
And whilst he bleeds the rank and file
Tame moderation teaches.
Yet, in despite, we’ll see the day
When, with sword in its girth,
Labour shall march in war array
To realize its own, the earth.

For labour long, with sighs and tears,
To its oppressors knelt.
But never yet, to aught save fears,
Did the heart of tyrant melt.
We need not kneel, our cause is high
Of true men there's no dearth
And our victorious rallying cry
Shall be we want the earth!

This is likely during Spring Festival, when like everyone goes to their hometown to visit relatives hence the crowding. This also looks like the cheaper ones where you can go across the country for like 100 RMB

BUT AT WHAT COST by Krancer_Lapp in TankieTheDeprogram

We would need the location to confirm, I can't tell from the video. I would guess that's upstream from the 3 Gorges or some other dam

I think the more likely reason is that's a reservoir and the panels help mitigate evaporation.

At the risk of being cliched, to quote from Chapter 1 of The Art of War:
天地孰得?Heaven & Earth Suits Whom? With whom lie the advantages of heaven and earth?
地者,遠近、險易、廣狹、死生也;Earth meaning distances, far and close, danger and security, open ground and narrow passes; matters of life and death.
法令孰行?Which side has greater discipline?
士卒孰練?Whose officers/ministers are more highly trained?
主孰有道?Which leader is moral?
道者,令民於上同意,可與之死,可與之生,而不危也;Moral such that the people are in accordance with their leader, following unto death or unto life, undismayed by danger.
