Yesterday, a post on Xici Net titled "Joking about the cityscape! This shopkeeper is really talented!" caught the attention of netizens. The post included several photos of promotional posters displayed in the window of a small restaurant. The posters humorously commented on the forced demolition of restaurant signs by the Jiangning Dongshan cityscape management office. Yesterday, reporters conducted an investigation into this matter. The restaurant owner stated that he wanted to vent his frustration and promote his business through this method, princess wedding dresses.
My stomach hurts from laughing so much
Cityscape Team Leader:
Already issued a notice for self-demolition within a deadline
Later, the reporter entered the restaurant and found the owner. It was learned that the owner's surname is Yang, 38 years old, and he is from Shaanxi Province. Thirteen years ago, Mr. Yang graduated from university and was assigned to work in Shaanxi. Later, due to dissatisfaction with the rigid nature of his job and low income, he went to Xiamen alone to work, doing several jobs before eventually deciding to settle in Nanjing and opening this small restaurant in Jiangning a year ago. The restaurant was small in scale, and its business was average when it started. He tried various methods to improve it. Since there were many restaurants on the street, to stand out, he spent over a thousand yuan to install a neon sign above the existing restaurant sign, resulting in one store having two signs. However, less than a month later, a cityscape official came to the store, gucci replica, ordering him to dismantle the neon sign within a week. The reason given was that a store cannot have two signs.
The forced demolition fully complies with regulations
Neon sign forcibly demolished by cityscape
Yesterday evening, the reporter interviewed Mr. Zhang, the captain of the Jiangning District Administrative Law Enforcement Team Dongshan Detachment, regarding the incident of the small restaurant posting posters mocking the Dongshan cityscape. Mr. Zhang told the reporter that according to relevant regulations of urban management, business establishments opened in the past two years must have unified signs, and no store can have two signs. As for some stores on Jinsheng Road that have two signs, these stores were opened five or six years ago, and the cityscape is currently undergoing gradual renovations. Some stores, such as pharmacies, are allowed to have two signs. Regarding the case of the "Wei Zhi You" restaurant having two signs forcibly removed, Mr. Zhang said he was aware of it. Due to the addition of a new sign by the restaurant, it caused dissatisfaction among local merchants. After understanding the situation, the cityscape team issued a notice for self-demolition within a deadline. However, the restaurant owner was extremely uncooperative, exceeding the deadline, leading to the forced demolition by the cityscape team. "Forced demolition will certainly result in losses for the shopkeeper, and mocking the cityscape through posters is understandable," Mr. Zhang said. While the shopkeeper may mock the cityscape out of anger, the cityscape team will not hold the shopkeeper accountable. However, if the content of the mockery contains aggressive or insulting language, causing negative impacts on the cityscape team, they will certainly pursue legal action to defend the dignity of the cityscape.

Around 7 p.m. yesterday, the reporter located the "Wei Zhi You" restaurant mentioned in the poster. The restaurant is located on Jinsheng Road in Jiangning District. It was dinner time, and the restaurant was bustling with business, with many patrons enjoying home-style dishes. Inside the restaurant window, there was a poster taller than a person. The poster was divided into two parts; one part consisted of images, showing three characters resembling "big shots" leading a group of cityscape officers, seemingly ready to "charge into battle." The image was accompanied by the text "Dongshan Cityscape Returns to the Scene," clearly indicating that the poster was related to the Dongshan cityscape. The other part was entirely text, filled with humorous undertones and a touch of chivalry, narrating how the cityscape forcibly dismantled the restaurant's sign and expressing the shopkeeper's helplessness towards the strict enforcement by the cityscape. The large poster was very eye-catching, often drawing passersby to stop and look. Many people who saw the poster couldn't help but chuckle, praising the creator of the poster for being highly talented. "It's too interesting, the poster is hilarious. I laughed for a long time after seeing the poster, until my stomach hurt," said customer Mr. Sun. He mentioned that the day before yesterday, while passing by, he noticed the shopkeeper putting up the poster and took a closer look. The content of the poster mocked the cityscape, with amusing descriptions, both humorous and full of chivalry, conveying a sense of "the shopkeeper does not hate the cityscape, the shopkeeper is just helpless." It subtly pointed out that the strict enforcement by the cityscape had caused losses to the shopkeeper, but the shopkeeper was truly helpless.
"At that moment, I already raised objections. There are many shops and banks on Jinsheng Road with two signs, why single me out?" Mr. Yang said that he communicated multiple times with the cityscape, hoping they could be more lenient and not dismantle his sign, but the cityscape remained firm in their decision to remove it. A week later, at around 7 a.m., the cityscape came to the restaurant and forcibly dismantled the neon sign when no one was present. The neon lights shattered all over the ground, and the iron frame used for installing the neon sign was completely taken away by the cityscape. Afterwards, Mr. Yang was very angry but did not argue with the cityscape officials, instead choosing to create a poster to tell his story. "When creating the poster, I wasn't overly angry anymore; I just thought it would be fun, so I wrote it in a humorous and chivalrous manner. The goal was to vent without hurting anyone, clearly explaining the events and promoting my business a bit," Mr. Yang smiled and said that although the content was humorous and full of chivalry, he isn't a martial arts enthusiast or a fan of triad movies; he simply created it spontaneously.
The mocking poster is very witty
