No. 10 Xibianmen was originally built in the 1950s. After 60 years of weathering, it had become a dangerous building long ago. In 1999, a big fire killed four people, one of whom was pregnant. After that, 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 the demolition and reconstruction. There were four design plan announcements. Due to the strong opposition of Mrs. Wang Kewen inside the courtyard, she incited her husband's student Zhou Ganzhi (academician of both academies) to use his connections to establish No. 10 Xibianmen as an excellent modern building in Beijing, and the renovation was abruptly stopped in 2009. To date, more than a thousand residents are still living on the brink of life and death. What makes us feel even colder 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 the doors, windows and roads of the dangerous houses which have no value to be repaired, without considering repairing the walls and structures. The 25 million yuan repair project was carried out without prior notice or bidding, and there was no audit or acceptance afterwards. It was just hastily finished. For 12 years of dangerous building renovation, there has been no result but only proceeding, demolition and reconstruction but only repair projects, no public opinion but only power! The lives of more than a thousand residents were just dragged like this. The Chinese people spent eight years driving away the Japanese, and four years defeating the Kuomintang, but we spent 12 years and still failed to strive for a place that belongs to us.
