Few people today know that reinforced concrete buildings are rising one after another in Beijing, and the renovation project first started in the Qiansanmen area.
In 1976, with the goal of solving the problem of housing shortage for employees in the capital, a five-kilometer-long road started from Chongwenmen in the east, passed through Qianmen, and ended at Xuanwumen in the west. It was divided into eight sections and covered an area of 22 hectares.
In Beijing, the capital began the construction of high-rise residential buildings for the first time in history.
These tens of thousands of houses are also the first large-scale construction project in the capital that adopts a large-scale formwork building system and industrialized construction.
However, due to the tight construction schedule at that time, the lack of experience in the unified construction of streets, and the fact that the construction was carried out when the national economy was seriously disturbed by the "movement" and the national economy was extremely difficult, many aspects of the construction project of Qiansanmen Street were not considered enough.
I left a lot of regrets in the end.
For example, the insulation and construction quality are relatively rough. Another example is that the entire street does not consider the depth issue, and only considers the planning of "one layer of skin" along the street. Another example is that supporting facilities such as grain stores, non-staple food stores, primary and secondary schools, and daycares have always been
Nor is it complete.
But it is undeniable that, as the first model project for capital reconstruction, it received high attention from the country's upper echelons and frequently asked about it. The first three projects were the highest at the time in terms of the configuration of building materials and the planning of building standards.
standard.
For example, the residential area was planned and designed in accordance with the requirements for Grade A residential buildings in Beijing at that time, with a building area of 52 square meters per household. Moreover, due to the use of elevators and the addition of public corridors in multi-story residences, it was finally determined that the building area of each household reached 55 square meters.
square meters.
As for the functions, not only does it have a public elevator, independent kitchen and bathroom, cast iron radiators, and a terrace where you can bask in the sun, but in order to satisfy the opinions put forward by the "great man" after the visit, it also temporarily provided space for everyone at the expense of lowering the floor height.
Add a separate living room.
Although the area of these functional rooms is not large and the supporting facilities are very simple, it is a leap forward compared to the previous residential buildings and is quite user-friendly. It can be said that the conditions completely surpassed the simple buildings and buildings at that time.
Tongzi building is basically equivalent to a unit house in the modern sense.
In addition, from the perspective of cultural changes in the senses, it also shocks people a lot. In the eyes of ordinary people, it even has a kind of modernity.
After these buildings were completed, many people came here to visit them. After experiencing the elevators in the buildings, seeing the public flush toilets, and blowing the wind on the balcony, they all agreed that living in a building is a kind of enjoyment.
Unattainable.
It was also from then on that being able to move into such a unit in one's lifetime became the highest luxury expectation for the majority of Beijing residents regarding their living conditions.
The desire for units with independent kitchens and bathrooms and central heating has become a new measurement standard and has dominated the concept of living in the capital for the past thirty years.
In the eyes of most people, those who were able to move their families into new buildings on Qiansanmen Street were basically the lucky ones who were the first to step into modern life. Everyone could only envy and envy them.
For example, in Hong Yanwu's previous life, he often heard "big shots" remembering the past, and even compared this place to the "Pangu Grand View" in the capital, or the "Tangchen First Grade" in Shanghai.
It's just that when he said this, it was already after the 2008 Olympic Games. At that time, Qiansanmen Street was no longer beautiful, and these buildings were covered by the dust of time like other old buildings, and they no longer had the slightest attraction.
At most, Hong Yanwu just listened to it as a joke about the changing times. He never thought that now would be the right time to have the opportunity to see it with his own eyes.
So since he was idle, he was idle. After changing his clothes, he visited Xuan Ye's house with great interest.
It should be said that the hardware and software conditions of Xuan Ye's room were indeed of a relatively high level back then.
The kitchen and bathroom are all tiled. Not only is there a telephone installed in the small living room, but the home appliances are also complete. The TV, tape recorder, electric fan, washing machine and refrigerator are all imported.
Only the furniture seemed a bit old-fashioned, made of dark red pine wood. But when Hong Yanwu discovered that there was a small number plate on the furniture, he realized that every table and chair was provided by the public for free.
It seems that Ye Xuan's father is really a high-ranking official in the "General Logistics Department". The family is in need of nothing, and the only thing he cares about is supplies.
But that’s it in the end. The lack of humane consideration and interest in life is the biggest shortcoming of the home these days.
In an era when even the word "decoration" was invented, even a house like this did not meet Hong Yanwu's personal living requirements.
According to him, this place is incomparable to the newly renovated "Huating Yard" of the Hong family's old residence. Even the cozy little courtyard of "Tang Xin'er" is far inferior.
So involuntarily, his expression showed a dull look, and then he took out a half-wet cigarette from the clothes he had changed into, and turned his attention to solving the problem of smoking addiction.
"Hey, let me ask, do you have an ashtray and a match here? My matches are all wet... By the way, make a pot of boiling water and let me drink some tea with your dad..."
If Hong Yanwu had this special ability, he could easily make Ye Xuan angry.
Originally, when Ye Xuan saw Hong Yanwu walking from house to house, she was happily waiting for him to praise her house.
But she didn't expect that this boy didn't even say a word to satisfy her vanity. Instead, he bossed her around like a little girl. Could this still give him a good face?
Ye Xuan's face was tense, her eyes were slanted, and the two "little brushes" she used to comb her hair were almost hairless.
"No!"
Hong Yanwu was still searching blindly on his own without realizing it.
"You are too perfunctory. You should look for it first. It's boring! Why are you so stingy?"
"Who is being stingy? My dad doesn't come to this room at all. He only asked for it for me. I only come here occasionally to clean it up. Where are the ashtrays and tea leaves?"
"Oh, then your treatment is great. It's on par with bureau-level treatment. It's really enviable. Hey, tell me, if this person marries you in the future, he won't make a lot of money. You don't need to prepare anything, just go to the wedding.
, how much worry this saves!”
I have to say, sometimes things can be so evil.
It is said that to untie a bell, one must tie it. Even if Hong Yanwu has the ability to make Xuan Ye's forehead burn with evil, he also has the ability to resolve it easily.
With just two unintentional jokes like this, Xuan Ye's anger melted away in an instant, and she even blushed. The ice on her face turned into the shyness of her little daughter.
She stomped out of the house, and within a short time, she not only brought in a small bowl filled with water and a box of matches, but also two open bottles of ice-cold Coke.
Depending on the schedule, I will try my best to add an update today.
