More and more old-fashioned people are turning into business streets
It's an ecological change
It's a beijing-specific scenery, with bricks and bricks and flowers, which make so many people dream, but today it's rare that the old yard opens up a bar café and becomes a restaurant, a fashion shop and a “creative factory”. Over the years, the homo industries have emerged, and the “mixing” of old hobos has become more intense. The quietness of the alley is more intense than ever, and the original ecology of the beijing alley has changed。
What does this ecological change mean to the rest of the population? In situ, journalists visited shishahai, tsai tsai miya, south tung tong lane, fong jia, five camps and the north new bridge. Many residents told journalists that the economic boom in the alley had brought benefits to them, as well as a lot of trouble and trouble, and that the quiet life that had existed had not been found。
In the face of the noise, they were a little distracted. They looked forward to the development of the business sector in tandem with the need for better government guidance to protect the ecosystem and to allow residents and businesses to win。
Happy to change
Three years' rent for a new house
On arrival at the famous south ending road, journalists found a few familiar employers to talk about issues that were already prohibitively high. “the landlords here have given up, and it is said that for three years they can buy a new house in the city, and that a small family lives on rent.” the reporter called the landlord, and the 40-year-old indigenous mr. Liu of beijing said that his grandfather had chosen the right place when he bought the house, “let his younger generation finally get a good life!”
In mr. Liu's mouth, it is not an aspiration to live in an alley: “the family has two private houses in the south corner, 30 square metres in total, five members of the family are crowded together, more than 100 metres to go to the toilet, it is necessary to heat their own stoves in winter, and the children's feet are frozen, and the whole family has been waiting for years to be demolished. “the inhabitants of the town, which had no prospects for demolition, were waiting for the south end to become a commercial street, and when the plaguing building was set up, the inhabitants were not aware of how their lives would change. As a small shop opened, the residents became “landlords”, mr. Liu realized that life was changing。
“our house was not on the street, the back wall was facing the street, but in the year, people dug holes on the wall and turned it into a front room for rent, and i opened the back wall and put a sign on it, and i didn't think it was a good idea, the first year of the lease was in 2006 and i rented $80,000.” with $80,000 in rent, mr. Liu's family left the alley, renting an old house in 40 houses in the near east, “when they were living in a building, the children were happy”. The next surprise was that mr. Liu was in a bit of a hurry, and the rent in the south end lane went up at an alarming rate, tripling several times over the last three or four years, “i didn't know that two flats were worth as much, and i hear that 10 square meters are now renting 300,000 a year.” mr. Liu's house is now a café, asking about the rent, and mr. Liu hesitated to say, “not more than half a million”. Now, he has bought a new house in the east triangular, where the difficulties and constraints of the past are long gone。
Change
The first nations of the wall are disappearing
After the rise of the alley industry, perhaps the most direct beneficiaries were the landlords, whose rents rose in the south, giving landlords the opportunity to be “rich,” and others whose rents were rising. The five camp blocks known as “second in the south ending lane” and the annual rent of a 40-50 square metre front room exceed $100,000. These special streets are surrounded by a chrysanthemum and hats, and residents have put up rental signs, rent thousands of dollars a month, leave the alley and become channels for many residents to improve their quality of life。
“i've been collecting rents once a year for years, and i don't usually go back, even though i was born in this alley, and i grew up here with a bunch of kids, but now i'm completely different, and i can hardly find the past, and i feel lost back, and old neighborhoods and friends are gone.” according to mr. Liu, as long as the inhabitants were able to rent the house, they largely left, rented or bought it with money. “it is easier to live in a building, and is there anyone who can live in this mess?”
Can you call it a alley without an indigenous? Following a shop, journalists have barely been able to find traces of the lives of their inhabitants, leaving only the noise and prosperity of the commercial streets. At the corner, journalists found a small house on the street with locks and old curtains, which did not appear to be rented. The nearby shopkeeper confirmed this: “the owner is an 80-year-old man, living alone in a small room of 8 square metres, unwilling to rent it, and in fact can rent 180,000”. The old man had not waited until he came home, and journalists had assumed that he would not leave here alone, perhaps only used the place for years, even if everything had changed。
In the five camps, the indigenous population is relatively large, and there are currently more than a dozen businesses, many of them saying that they chose this place because they liked the less commercial quality of life, and they saw the master and the sister who jumped with the bird cages in the morning. But how many more people are willing to live in a alley as business values rise here
