To most Chinese people, Anais Martane is not a well-known name but her celebrity husband Liu Ye has brought her into the spotlight.

Their romantic story has been widely shared on Chinese social media and they have been praised as the model couple in China’s entertainment circle.

As a French woman, Martane is very interested in Chinese culture and has devoted herself to Chinese public service events.

In 2017, Martane served as the ambassador of the 4th Franco-Chinese Month of Environment event.

On Aug 31, China Daily Website interviewed her about her views on environment protection, family and life.

Reporter: Why did you volunteer to become the ambassador of the 4th Franco-Chinese Month of Environment?

Martane: First of all, I am honored to take the chance to learn more about the environmental solutions that France, Europe and China are proposing and bringing to reality.

Also, the Franco-Chinese Month of Environment is conducive to reaching out to a large number of people to explain what is at stake and how to take action for our environment.

My relationship with environmental protection began with a connection to the sea, as my childhood was spent in a coastal town, and I am crazy about everything to do with the sea.
