No. 10 Xibianmen was built in the 1950s. After experiencing 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 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. The design plan was made public four times. 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 relationship to list No. 10 Xibianmen as an excellent modern building in Beijing, the renovation of the dangerous building came to a sudden stop in 2009. To date, more than one thousand residents are still living on the brink of life and death. What is more disheartening is that, seeing no hope for renovation, the State Administration arbitrarily used the funds from the 2008 Olympic engineering project to repair the doors, windows and roads of the dangerous buildings that had no value for repair, 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 hastily completed. For 12 years, the renovation has been ongoing without any results. There has only been repair work instead of demolition and reconstruction, and there has been no public opinion, only power! The lives of more than one 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 spent 12 years and still could not fight for a place that originally belonged to us.
