No. 10 Xibianmen was built in the 1950s. After 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 for Affairs proposed to renovate the dangerous building. During this period, there were two appraisals on dangerous houses, three public opinion polls, each time more than 90% of the residents supported the demolition and reconstruction, and four design schemes were announced. 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 the two academies) to use his relationship to list No. 10 Xibianmen as an excellent modern building in Beijing, the renovation of dangerous buildings came to a sudden stop in 2009. To date, more than a thousand residents are still living on the brink of life and death. What is even more heart-breaking is that, seeing no hope for renovation, the State Administration for Affairs arbitrarily used the funds from the 2008 Olympic engineering to repair the doors and windows and roads of the dangerous building which had no value for repair, without considering repairing the walls and structures. The repair project of 25 million yuan was finished hastily without prior notice, bidding, post-audit and acceptance. For 12 years, the renovation has been moving forward without any results, only the repair project instead of demolition and reconstruction, only authoritarianism instead of public opinion! The lives of more than a 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 failed to fight for a house that originally belonged to us.
