Another RMB100 Billion Ghost Town?

Recently, the city government of Kaifeng in Henan province
presented a restoration project costing over 100 billion Yuan.
The project plans to transform its old town
into a 20-square-kilometer tourism zone.
This is to restore the historical outlook of Bianjing city,
the capital of Northern Song Dynasty.
For the past two years, foreign media have reported that
many Chinese cities where buildings are newly developed
are seldom used so that they look like ghost towns.
Similarly, Kaifeng's project has been speculated
to produce the next ghost town.
Another unrealistic project of city building.
Kaifeng's project of restoration of Bianjing outlook
aims to develop tourism with the city's historical background
as the capital of the Song Dynasty.
However, according to media reports, just the demolition
fee of this restoration project will cost as much as 100 billion.
More than 80,000 residents of old town will be forced
to move.
Some media report remarked that the project is an
extremely dangerous gamble for Kaifeng city.
Their annual revenue is less than 5 billion Yuan.
Scholar of China Academy of Art, Wu Zuolai remarked that
most local governments wanted to benefit from ancient
architecture and traditional culture rather than appreciating their historical value.
Replacing civilian houses with fake historic sites actually
destroys the social ecology of civil life.
Most residents' families have lived there for hundreds of years.
Demolition of their houses is violation of human rights.
Wu said what the Chinese Communist Party(CCP) officials
real aim is economic value, not restoration of history.
(Wu Zuolai, scholar of China Academy of Art): Each
municipal leader will stay in his position between 3-5 years.
They try to earn money in this short period by collaborating
with developers in demolishing civil houses, selling lands
and building fake historic sites. Money is their ultimate goal.
A real restoration of historical architecture will not be like this.
It won't destroy an area by depriving local residents of their
basic rights to build a fake 'historic town' on their land.
Cultural commentator Ye Kuangzheng also remarked that
while purporting to restore traditional culture, the CCP
only really cares about the income from land sales.
(Ye Kuangzheng): Since the price of land has
sharply increased recently,
many developers are interested in the land from
the cities with tourism resources such as historic sites.
Therefore local governments try to sell those lands
in different ways.
In fact Kaifeng government also wants to earn
this income from land sales.
According to China Business News,
the city government of Kaifeng started to demolish
civil houses in Longting Scenic Area several years ago in the name of improving environmental quality.
In recent two years, a corporation called Dichen Group Ltd
has developed tens of luxury homes in the area.
The report also revealed that a big hole of 15-meter depth
can be seen at the former site of Kaifeng's Drum Tower.
The Drum Tower is a signature ancient architecture of Kaifeng,
but its foundation has been removed.
It is reported that the city will build a huge underground
mall in the hole below the tower.
Ye Kuangzheng said that such acts of destroying real historic
sites will only create fake productions with no cultural value.
Two years ago, American media posted on their websites
some satellite pictures of a so-called ghost town.
In the picture, most houses and streets are empty with
few visitors, which looks confusing.
It is believed that many local governments in China mainland
had built such ghost towns in recent years.
They wanted to generate nice-looking GDP numbers.
As an example, the perspective concept project in
Zhengdong New District of Henan covers 150 square kilometers at a cost of 200 billion Yuan.
However, more than 90% of the houses are still empty.
The Jingjin New City in Tianjin,
which is called the largest villa area in Asia,
covers a planning area of 25,000 properties
for 500,000 residents to move in.
However, only 1000 luxury homes were built in five years,
less than one tenth of the development planning numbers.
Actually only 10% of the houses have been lodged
with residents.
Chinese civilians have questioned whether Kaifeng's
restoration project will benefit civilians. Is it only an image project?
Many of them believe that the project is unrealistic,
attempting to restore the historical image without traditional values within.

The Jews in Shanghai: When China Welcomed Jewish Refugees Fleeing The Holocaust in Europe
Did you know that there were about 23,000 Jews who fled to China during the 1930s to the 1940s? Around 18,000 of them settled in the area called Tilanqiao in Shanghai. Fleeing the Holocaust in Europe, these Jewish refugees were welcomed in Shanghai, making this city as the modern “Noah’s Ark”. The Jews in Shanghai were received by the Chinese and lived harmoniously with them, overcoming numerous challenges together.
Today, proof of this history and existence can be explored at the Shanghai Jewish Refugees Museum. In this video, you will see a glimpse of the former Ohel Moshe Synagogue that has been restored to its original architectural style when it was used as a Synagogue in 1928. The permanent exhibition hall will tell the unforgettable experience of 27 Jews who had managed to survive the Holocaust in Europe and lived a new life in Shanghai. #Jews #Jewish #Shanghai
