No. 10 Xibianmen was originally built in the 1950s. After 60 years of weathering, it has long been a dangerous building. In 1999, a big fire killed four people, one of whom was a pregnant woman. Afterwards, the State Administration proposed to renovate the dangerous building. During this period, there were two dangerous house appraisals and three public opinion surveys. Each time, more than 90% of the residents supported demolition and reconstruction. There were four design plan announcements. However, due to the strong opposition of Mrs. Wang Kewen in the courtyard and her instigation of her husband's student, Zhou Ganzhi (a member of the two academies), who used his relationship to list No. 10 Xibianmen as an excellent modern building in Beijing, the renovation of dangerous buildings 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 disheartening is that, seeing no hope for renovation, the State Administration擅自used the funds from the 2008 Olympic engineering project to repair the doors, windows and roads of the dangerous houses which had no value for repair, without considering repairing the walls and structures. The 25 million yuan repair project was rushed through without prior notice or bidding, and without audit or acceptance afterwards. For 12 years, the renovation has been ongoing without results, demolition and reconstruction have only resulted in repair projects, there has been no public opinion, only authoritarianism! The life and death of more than a thousand residents has 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 belonged to us.
