When it comes to Peony Street in Changchun, what immediately appears in front of Changchun people is the aroma of coffee and literary style. However, on April 4, a demolition notice was posted on the glass windows of small cafes, causing Peony Street to boil all of a sudden, and more than 50 owners panicked: if we want to demolish it, what about our business?

On April 8, the first coordination meeting on the demolition of Peony Street was held, and the leaders of the Guilin Street Office sat with the merchants of Peony Street for the first time to discuss the demolition work. The leader of Guilin Street Office said that the purpose of this demolition is not to remove the cultural characteristics here, but to make Peony Street better and better.

The notice of violation of the incident worries the merchants.

"in accordance with the decisions and arrangements of the Changchun Municipal people's Government, it has been decided to renovate the old urban areas, and illegal buildings within the scope of transformation must be demolished. The owner of the illegal building is requested to demolish it within three days after receiving this notice. If it cannot be demolished by itself, we will demolish the illegal building by way of assistance. Please cooperate with us. " On April 4, the notice appeared on the glass windows of several merchants on Mudan Street, which was issued by the Urban Management Law Enforcement Squadron of Gui Street, Chaoyang District, Changchun City.

In this regard, many merchants are worried that their storefronts will be torn down, losing the characteristics of Peony Street and losing their elaborate literary and artistic atmosphere.

Merchants want to retain the characteristics of each family as much as possible.

Ms. Liu is from Changchun. When she returned to her hometown from Japan a few years ago, she wanted to bring back Japanese culture. She chose Peony Street, where she cooks. Ms. Liu said that many merchants on Peony Street came to this street with feelings. When she came here four years ago, Xikang Hutong was still dilapidated. Later, thanks to everyone's efforts, an atmosphere was gradually formed. Ms. Liu said that when picking up the door fight, they also took into account the feelings of the neighbors and built steps, stone stools and stone tables at the door to provide leisure for the neighbors. As merchants, they are also taking care of the feelings of their neighbors. The facade of each house is being carefully built.

"We very much support the transformation of the old city, and if it can be basically legal and reasonable, we hope to retain it as far as possible. No matter how beautiful bricks and tiles are not our style, we will not like them, and we hope to retain the characteristics of each of our families. " Ms. Liu said.

The Mudan Street, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, is characterized by the facade.

Lao Yan is the president of the Guilin Road Chamber of Commerce and the representative of the merchants here. He said that since the announcement of the demolition notice, he has also solicited the opinions of most merchants. Merchants are mainly worried about four points: first, Peony Street has a lot of cultural characteristics, and we hope to retain it to the maximum extent; second, the external expression of the characteristics of Peony Street is the door face, and the door face of many merchants is for the sake of personality. the characteristics of removing the door face are gone; third, the merchants hope that the plaque will not be unified, or they should have their own characteristics. Fourth, many are residential renovation, hoping to give some time for merchants to be prepared, because some shops directly after the demolition there is no door, can no longer do business.

Residents hope that more space will not affect each other.

For the residents living nearby, there are also different views on demolition violations. A resident said that because businesses occupy public land and sidewalks, the streets here are extremely crowded and life is very noisy. Dismantling violations is a good thing for the common people, and he is very supportive. I hope that merchants will leave more space for the common people so that they can not affect each other.

Chen likes Peony Street very much and comes here almost every weekend. He said that he did not know what impact illegal buildings would have on residents, but he felt that the cultural flavor of Mudan Street was not found elsewhere in Changchun and was a label. It was not easy to cultivate this culture, and it would be a pity if illegal buildings were demolished.

Deputies to the National people's Congress strive to benefit merchants

Weng Lianhai, a member of the CPPCC Changchun City and a deputy to the National people's Congress, also paid attention to the illegal construction work. Weng Lianhai said that this transformation is also a historical turning point in urban transformation, and he hopes that this transformation will respect the immediate benefits of all merchants, and that the formation of the cultural history of Changchun Mudan Street is not easy, and he hopes that it can be preserved to the maximum extent. All parties will make joint efforts to let all merchants become the beneficiaries of this transformation.

Departmental attitude, personality and culture should also be reasonable and legal.

"in fact, in order to preserve the style and characteristics of this place, we do not want to move in principle, but the demolition of the work is in the interests of the general public." Xiangyizhi, director of the Guilin subdistrict office in Chaoyang District, said that the expansion of merchants has affected the interests of the public, and this contradiction has become more and more intense. There is no limit for many merchants to take up illegal buildings. perhaps one family has taken out one meter and the other has taken out 2.3 meters, occupying the sidewalk and driveway, thus affecting the lives of the people nearby. Complaints about tight parking, occupied sidewalks and noisy sidewalks have become increasingly obvious. This demolition violation is for the benefit of the broad masses and to make way for the people. On the other hand, demolition works are all treated equally, and as long as they break the rules, they will be demolished. Many people stare at the street of Peony Street, and some people say, "just look at the illegal buildings of these merchants in Peony Street." This is an illegal building, isn't theirs? " This contradiction is very prominent, so it must be dismantled, because any personality and cultural atmosphere should be based on a reasonable and legal basis.

About interests

Dismantling violations to minimize the impact on merchants

An American merchant attaches great importance to the notice of demolition. He said that this demolition violation, I hope it is not an earthquake demolition, they should be given some preparation, his store already has a lot of fixed customer groups, will this demolition violation affect their interests?

Director Xiang said that this demolition should maximize the preservation of the original cultural characteristics and minimize and minimize the impact on the interests of merchants. How to dismantle it? How do you keep it? This is also the purpose of the coordination meeting, they will report the ideas of the merchants to the higher departments, and then dismantle them. Moreover, the demolition violation is not an earthquake demolition. They have conducted research among the merchants many times, although the opinions of many merchants have also been fully taken into account.

About style

The personality of each businessman will be retained.

Many merchants are worried that the demolition will destroy the unique style of Peony Street, which will become unified style, unified plaque and no personalization.

In this regard, Director Xiang said that this is only an individual's guess and wrong understanding, and the personality of the businessmen will be retained. The demolition of Peony Street is not to destroy the culture of Peony Street, on the contrary, this demolition is to create such an atmosphere, to retain the original commercial format, to make Peony Street better and better, so that Peony Street has become the cultural label of Changchun.

About decoration

If it is an illegal building, it must be demolished.

Three college students from Taiwan studied in Changchun for half a year and finally chose Mudan Street. They hope to inject Taiwanese culture into this street. Their storefront has just been rented and is being renovated. When they received the notice of demolition, they were immediately bewildered, "can this storefront continue to be decorated?" Do you want to open a business or not? "

Director Xiang said that she very much welcomes the injection of more foreign culture into Mudan Street, and the demolition work is not a sudden notice. The store has issued demolition notices many times as early as last winter, and has also been reminded many times during the renovation. Don't invest, or you'll lose more. Therefore, illegal structures must be demolished and operate within a reasonable scope.
