No. 10 Xibianmen was built in the 1950s. After enduring 60 years of wind and frost, it has long become a dangerous building. In 1999, a big fire killed four people, one of whom was pregnant. Afterwards, the State Administration for Public Affairs proposed to renovate the dangerous building. During this period, there were two dangerous house appraisals and three public opinion polls. Each time, more than 90% of the residents supported demolition and reconstruction. The design plan was announced four times. Due to the strong opposition of Mrs. Wang Kewen in the courtyard and her instigation of her husband's student, Zhou Ganzhi (academician of both academies), to use his relationship to list No. 10 Xibianmen as an excellent modern building in Beijing, the dangerous renovation came to an abrupt end in 2009. To date, more than a thousand residents still live on the brink of life and death. What is even more heart-breaking is that, seeing no hope for renovation, the State Administration for Public Affairs arbitrarily used the funds from the 2008 Olympic engineering project to repair doors, windows and roads of the dangerous buildings that have no value of repair. The walls and structures were not considered for repair. The 25 million yuan repair project was rushed through without prior notice or bidding, and without audit or acceptance afterwards. For 12 years, the dangerous renovation has been moving forward without any result. There is only a repair project instead of demolition and reconstruction, and only authoritarianism without any public opinion! The lives of more than a thousand residents have been dragged on like this. The Chinese people spent eight years driving away the Japanese, and four years defeating the Kuomintang, but we have spent 12 years and still cannot fight for a place that originally belongs to us.
