[Well-off China] The epitome of Shanghai’s old reforms from "nail households" to "spokespersons"

　　[Explanation] Independent bathroom, independent kitchen, balcony... The basic configuration of ordinary people, for the once vermilion light, is beyond hope. Two years ago, Zhu Hongguang moved out of the community with the 153 households in Lane 222, Wuchuan Road, Yangpu District, Shanghai. In the past two years, their house was demolished and rebuilt, from an old brick-and-concrete house with a combined kitchen and bathroom with outdated supporting facilities to a small, single-family, sunny high-rise. Recently, the reporter visited the community.

　　It is reported that the original 14 houses in the 222 area of ​​Wuchuan Road, 7 of which are non-complete houses with two-story brick and wood structure. A dozen residents share a kitchen and bathroom, and the supporting facilities are backward. Since the house still has kitchen and bathroom facilities, the type is designated as a staff residence, which has not been within the scope of the old reform for a long time.

　　58-year-old Zhu Hongguang has lived in the community for 50 years. In a house with an area of ​​only 26.1 square meters, there are 9 people living at most at a time. When the two neighbors are counted, at most 26 people share a kitchen and bathroom.

　　Nine people lived in 26 square meters. No matter what was eating, nothing was safe. Lime fell from the ceiling.

　　[Explanation] In recent years, Shanghai has continuously explored multiple ways to upgrade and renovate old communities in the central city. The demolition and reconstruction, commonly known as "demolition", is one of the mechanism innovations. On January 3, 2018, the demolition and reconstruction project of Lane 222 on Wuchuan Road was launched, and residents were finally able to usher in a new life in the new houses rebuilt on the original site.

　　According to the results of the lottery, Zhu Hongguang's home has obtained two 2-floor one-bedroom units with a total of 78 square meters, which are now being renovated. Zhu Hongguang has already found a good home improvement company and designed it. As long as the renovation is two or three months, he can move in. He smiled and told reporters that one was for his son to get married, and the other was for him and his wife to live with.

　　I must be happy to get the new key. After getting the new key, everyone is happy. In the past fifty years, I have not enjoyed this kind of treatment.

　　[Explanation] 70-year-old Bu Aizhen has lived in the old residence for nearly 50 years. She said frankly that in previous years, Huang Meitian was the one who was most afraid of, and her house would be "flooded" when it rains. At the end of June this year, she took her granddaughter to get the keys to the new house. She went to see the new house that day and was very happy.

　　The kitchen must be renovated, the bathroom must be renovated, and some furniture must be added to the room. You must choose the furniture you like.

　　[Explanation] The renewal and changes of residential housing are the epitome of Shanghai's rapid development and the continuous improvement of people's living standards. Under the guidance of the concept of “reserving, reforming and demolishing, focusing on preservation and protection”, between 2017 and 2019, Shanghai completed a total of 1.47 million square meters of houses below the second-level old li, benefiting 75,000 residents.
