Ten thousand years are too long,
Seize the day, seize the hour!
The Four Seas are rising, clouds and water raging,
The Five Continents are rocking, wind and thunder roaring.
Our force is irresistible,
Away with all pests!
段子:
城区的一切都被最大效益化,商业思维示范和操纵着一切,老街区老房子如果没有文物价值,则必死无葬身之地。在“规划”的名义下,近代街区里的居民响应城市的号召搬迁住进新楼房,在被经济承受能力过滤成身份地位彼此相近阶层的城市一隅,丧失了相遇与碰撞出火花的更多可能。
译文:
Judged by the commercial consideration, the single standard, everything in the city proper was squeezed for its maximum commercial value. Old streets or ancient buildings, once judged lack of historic value, can count their days of being demolished. Believing in the “great significance of a reasonable layout of the city proper”, the residents used to live in the city center respond to move out to the new buildings in the suburbs. Screened and divided by their economical status, they end up with living with those similar to them economically, thus losing the possibility of coming across the differences necessary for the birth of new and better ideas.
