There is a city called "street lamp project" in Shapo tail of Xiamen. Who built it? Why build it?

There is a strange house at No.20 Shapowei, Xiamen (Shapowei-behind Chibaolou 10 meter). This house, from 20 16, has never turned off the lights inside and the doors outside, no matter day or night.

It turns out that this is a "24-hour self-help free space", and the name of the warm-hearted hut in this city is called "street lamp project".

The owner of the "street lamp project" and the story behind the hut: the owner of the street lamp project is a post-80 s generation, and the Jianghu people call it "Hippo Shao". Its real name is Shao Dongqiang.

/kloc-When he was 0/8 years old, he left his hometown and became a navy in Fujian. In addition to the sea, blue sky and seagulls, he was accompanied by comrades in the army.

20 13 Shao dongqiang, retired from the navy, rented an old house on daxue road to entertain his friends.

At first, he saw a friend give him a key. Unconsciously, more than 400 keys were "distributed".

Later, Shao Dongqiang simply didn't lock the door, and strangers could stop in the "living room" to make tea. Shao Dongqiang named the first hut "Wo".

Not long after, he rented a place with his friends and created a second space, named "Ideal Home" for backpackers to use.

The "fuse" of the birth of the "street lamp project": May 20 16, the second space "Ideal Home" was officially opened to the public, where you can have coffee and tea, cook in the public kitchen, and even watch an art exhibition.

2065438+September 2006, the super typhoon "Moranti" landed in Xiamen, and the whole city was affected. When Typhoon Moranti landed in Xiamen at 3 am, 350,000 trees in the city were blown down, leaving most areas without water and electricity, and the city was paralyzed.

Before the typhoon landed, a mother and daughter came to the "ideal home" for the night because they lived in a dangerous attic. At that time, Shao Dongqiang's heart was very moved: in front of nature, human beings are very small. If only there were a street lamp on in the dark.

From this moment on, the prototype of the "street lamp plan" was born. ......

The difficult birth process of "street lamp project": site selection+fund raising+decoration. When decorating the second space "Home of the Ideal Home", the rented house was demolished to only three walls, and every brick and tile in the house was newly added by him. Therefore, Shao Dongqiang spent 200,000 yuan, but he lived in a tin house at 250 yuan/month.

In order to create the third enjoyment space, Shao Dongqiang found an old factory building without a roof at Shapowei, and finally rented it as the third space, which is now the "street lamp project".

In order to save money, he didn't dare to hire a decoration team when decorating, so he found a temporary worker from 1 to help him do odd jobs.

In order to save money, he painted walls, laid tiles, and beat cabinets ... He did a lot of work by himself. Without extra money to buy furniture, Shao Dongqiang simply picked up old boards that others didn't want and made them himself.

Today's "street lamp project" has two-thirds of the money donated by strangers.

After half a year's efforts, the transformation of the old factory building was completed and the "street lamp plan" was officially opened.

Internal structure of "street lamp project": the cabin has two floors. It can be used as an activity room, and it can hold a reading meeting and a food tasting. On the lower floor, it is a completely open space. There is a kitchen, a big and long coffee table, rows of bookshelves and a soft sofa, where you can cook, read, chat and have a rest.

The green plants and old things everywhere in the house look like a home.

In the street lamp plan, as long as you abide by the "street lamp code", you can stay as long as you want. 365 days a year, 24 hours a day It's all open, free of charge, without closing the door or turning off the lights.

This veteran, in the most intuitive way,

For everyone who passes by,

Tell his promise.

Xiamen, a small literary town,

There will be more such warm-hearted stories waiting for us to discover.

Because of the epidemic, the "street lamp plan" has not been opened yet. However, due to the special epidemic situation this year, in order to cooperate with the national epidemic prevention and control, the "street lamp plan" was temporarily closed, and the specific opening time was to be determined.
