No. 10 Xibianmen was originally built in the 1950s. After enduring 60 years of wind and frost, it had 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 surveys. 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 in the courtyard and her instigation of her husband's student Zhou Ganzhi (academician of the two academies) to use his connections to list No. 10 Xibianmen as an excellent modern building in Beijing, the renovation was abruptly halted 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 the State Administration for Public Affairs, seeing no hope for renovation, arbitrarily used the funds from the 2008 Olympic Games project to repair the windows, doors, and roads of the dangerous buildings without any value for repair. There was no consideration for 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 afterward; it was hastily completed. For 12 years, the renovation has been ongoing with no results. Demolition and reconstruction have only resulted in repair projects, with no public opinion, only power! The lives of more than a thousand residents have been dragged on like this. The Chinese people took eight years to drive away the Japanese, and four years to defeat the Kuomintang, but we spent 12 years and still could not obtain a place that originally belonged to us.
