No. 10 Xibianmen was originally built in the 1950s. After enduring 60 years of wind and frost, it has become a dangerous building long ago. In 1999, a big fire killed four people, one of whom was a pregnant woman. After that, the State Administration for Public Affairs (SAPA) proposed to renovate the dangerous building. During this period, there were two appraisals of dangerous buildings, three public opinion surveys, and each time more than 90% of the residents supported demolition and reconstruction. There were also four public announcements of design plans. However, 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 connections to designate No. 10 Xibianmen as an excellent modern building in Beijing, the renovation of the dangerous building came to an abrupt end in 2009. To this day, more than a thousand residents still live on the brink of life and death. What makes people feel even colder is that SAPA, seeing no hope for renovation, arbitrarily used the funds from the 2008 Olympic engineering project to repair the doors, windows, and roads of the dangerous building that had no value for repair, without considering repairing the walls and structure. The 25 million yuan repair project was carried out without prior notice or bidding, and there was no audit or acceptance afterwards. It was hastily completed. For 12 years, the renovation has been ongoing but with no results, only demolition and reconstruction have been replaced by repair projects, and there has been no public opinion, only power! The life and death of more than a thousand residents have been dragged on like this. The Chinese people spent eight years driving away the Japanese, and it took the Chinese four years to defeat the Kuomintang, but we spent 12 years and couldn't fight for a place that originally belonged to us.
