Jianye Li, the wall in Jianye Li

From the end of 2012,65438+10, I made several field trips to Jianye, and what impressed me most was the wall that folded around and trapped it. A fence prevented people who were concerned about Shikumen from taking a step forward and not letting them visit. Not only that. Crossing the fence is like stepping into a heavily guarded private space, where the secrets of the mansion should not be peeped by outsiders. Ironically, the biggest secret surrounded by this wall is actually the "murder" and "resurrection" of the excellent historical buildings inside. Protecting buildings, of course, has its owners or users, but in a larger sense, it is used by all Shanghainese and even China people. Although luxurious and secret, it must also be in the public eye. In Jianye, which has become a "luxury house", will tourists be shut out in the future? Perhaps this will be another kind of regret. But let it be, in front of Jianye, it has become two-thirds of the fake. There is really no need for public attention, even if it is closed. In a sense, the wall of Jianye is an image-a besieged city in the dilemma of Shikumen protection or opening. I only hope that the appeal of experts can get more responses, and everyone can devote themselves to the protection of historical buildings in the city, so that we and future generations can see that someone once lived like this in this city.
