Chapter 147: Tragicomedy
In April 1981, relocation suddenly became the most eye-catching phenomenon in Beijing.
Almost everywhere in the capital, you can see people leaving their cramped old homes and moving into newly built apartment buildings.
For this reason, the furniture stores in the downtown area have become more and more prosperous and crowded.
There are also those individual "board masters" who pedal tricycles, they are simply too busy to come.
They also began to become as popular as the carpenter who made furniture and the chef who made a big spoon, and they made a lot of money.
There are two main reasons for this.
On the one hand, the number of new houses built in Beijing is increasing and continues to increase.
On the other hand, under the supervision of the state, the ownership of these houses had to be determined as soon as possible in the short term.
Last year, in response to the proposal of the "Great Man" "Conversation on the Construction Industry and Housing Issues".
The first batch of residential quarters funded and built by government agencies, enterprises and institutions, a considerable part of them have reached the time when they can be completed and used.
In the five years from 1976 to 1980, the total area of residential buildings in Beijing reached 11.264 million square meters.
However, the occupancy rate of these houses has always been unsatisfactory.
Due to the standard of housing allocation within the units, it is seriously disturbed by various personnel relations.
You snatched the house, and most of the houses were never put into normal use.
So in order to solve this problem, the state issued a strict order in February this year.
It is required that all government agencies and units must occupy all houses that have been built within three months, otherwise the vacant houses will be confiscated by the Beijing City Government.
So just calculate the time, and now that two months have passed, it is almost time window.
So with the units that own these houses, can they not be in a hurry?
Of course, the house must be allocated as soon as possible, and it can't really be confiscated, right?
As a result, the entire capital will inevitably set off a round of concentrated relocation frenzy.
The units were driven into the houses in a hurry as if they were driving cattle and horses.
But in any case, even if they are "cattle and horses", the people who can be "driven" into the unit at this time are definitely the lucky ones of this era.
Compared to the past, these new homes have more public facilities and living facilities.
The building standards of the residences have also improved considerably.
People no longer have to worry about the inconvenience of going to the toilet and bathing like living in a bungalow.
Like this month, playwright Su Shuyang said goodbye to the alley where he had lived for more than 20 years and moved to a new house.
It was completely with a very happy mood that I began to write the movie script "Sunset Street".
Perhaps it is precisely because of the influence of real life that I am extremely satisfied with the conditions of my new home.
At the end of the film, he writes about the residents of Xizhao Street, just like himself.
also bid farewell to their past life of ten years and happily moved into a unit with bright windows.
It's just that the good wishes expressed in the movie are just wishes after all.
In reality, urban construction has been suspended for ten years, and there are too many people who lack housing in these years.
Poor living conditions are a problem that almost every household faces.
No matter how many houses are built, it will be a drop in the bucket compared to the hundreds of thousands of returnees per year during this peak period of returning to the city.
So it's like a food chain, it's destined not to be a blessing for everyone.
Needless to say, in this case, there must be some people who are so short of housing that they can't continue to wait.
There is no other way but to work around to solve the problem.
For example, allowing young couples to live in a tube building can be a good way to temporarily alleviate the housing difficulties of the unit.
Also in this month, actor Yang Lixin also divided a small house with an area of less than 15 square meters on the third floor.
He lived with his wife in the backstage of the Capitol Theatre.
Even though the room was too small to fit anything.
Put in a double bed, a large wardrobe, a tea cabinet with sliding glass doors and there is no space.
But compared with those who still haven't been assigned to the house, Yang Lixin is already deeply satisfied.
The only thing that made him feel uncomfortable and a little embarrassed was that his new life was inevitably full of some apprehensive and hasty colors.
You must know that living in a tube building, most of the privacy and habits of life can only be exposed to the vision of the neighbors.
Who's business, other people's family will soon know.
Everyone has no special privacy, you sleep behind closed doors, and you can wear it around every house when you open the door.
Purely by coincidence, the movie "Neighbors" released this year precisely reflects the contradictions and realities of social housing tension.
At the same time, there is a long corridor, toilet, water room, and kitchen common tube building in this kind of interior.
The lifestyle of one lamp per family, one faucet per household, and one meter has a more detailed embodiment.
This makes this film an alternative record of the survival form of Chinese people during this period.
So that in the future, people will still have a well-documented way of life when multiple families live in one building.
But let's be honest, even such a silo is not the worst solution.
More hopeless people can only find a way on the basis of the 1976 earthquake shed.
Just like the birds' "nests", they continue to build small houses of various materials, styles and sizes.
Towards the southeast, northwest, triangle, trapezoid, everything.
In the aisle between the houses, as long as you can push a bicycle to it, the neighbors will not speak.
"Miscellaneous" is inevitable, and even such situations are divided into three, six, nine and so on.
Some people are lucky, the yard is still big, and there is a place to pick up and change the house.
Relying on the bricks picked up from everywhere, the first thing is to start, and you can get a 20 square meters that are high enough and regular.
can follow the people behind you, so the conditions you face will inevitably become more and more difficult because of this.
Some people tried their best, but in the end they could only make do with building an eight-square-meter, asbestos tile roof "Burrow".
It's just a guarantee that there is a double bed and no rain.
But that's still not the most worrying situation.
For example, some girls even can't stand the days of frequent quarrels and long-term bunks because of the tension in the house and the conflicts between brothers and sisters.
And hastily married himself, even if the other party is not the person he is most satisfied with.
There are even some people who have changed their household registration and left the capital for the sake of their houses.
It can be seen that in the era of housing shortage, it is only a small place to stay.
What a huge price many ordinary people will pay for it.
This is really a very cruel and helpless choice.
All in all, in this month's capital, houses affect the hearts of thousands of households.
Around this theme, countless human tragicomedies have also been deduced, and the quality of life of many people has begun to vary greatly.
People who are able to move into a unit with improved living conditions.
Naturally, they are all beaming, they have no regrets, and they smile the brightest.
The people who moved into the tube building were happy, but they were half bittersweet.
There are some regrets in his expression, as well as the need to adapt to the new environment and the crampedness and panic.
People who build a small house have more bitterness in their smiles.
There is only relief and happiness in my heart, just like the rest of my life after the catastrophe.
As for those who are still trapped in a dwelling and have to continue to strive for change, the state of mind can be directly classified as negative.
or annoyed, or red-eyed, or angry, or depressed, or self-pity, or swearing behind your back, and so on.
There are also those who have to make compromises, get married hastily and go away, and it is even more inevitable to fall into pessimism.
Many people's hearts, even about the house, have become knots in their hearts, and they hurt when they think about it.
And in the context of such an era, don't forget that there is one of the most special and alternative cases.
That is Ning Weimin, who shoulders the great trust of Kangshude.
Don't look at the same as running for the house, but his mental activities are the most interesting one.
On the one hand, he was deeply spurred by the old man.
Whether it was because of the abundant material encouragement, or out of longing and desire for that mansion, he wanted to help the old man get things done.
also followed by an addiction that Houmen is as deep as the sea.
But on the other hand, the difficulty of this matter is indeed beyond imagination.
After many days of visiting, he found that the actual conditions did not leave him much room to operate and maneuver.
If you want to get the house back, it's basically a dog biting Wang Ba - there is no way to eat.
The most important thing is that the more he looks at this mansion, the more he loves it, and the more he understands it, the more surprised he becomes.
So I know that this thing is difficult to do, and there is even a big thunder hidden in it, and if I don't get it right, I will have to be bombed.
But I'm afraid to be afraid, annoyed, and really reluctant to give up, unwilling to let go, and can't think about and miss that house.
To put it bluntly, he is like a donkey who is hung by a carrot and grinds to death.
Looking at the greed, but you can't reach it, and you can't rest, you can say that it's uncomfortable or not.
But no problem, who made that mansion so extraordinary and outstanding.
It can be called the ideal of life shared by the rich in ancient and modern times, and it is also the most beautiful private garden in his life, and there is no one.
He was really not afraid of being flashed by the wind, so he dared to say that.
If the old man's house can be brought back and repaired well, it will be the NO.1 of the courtyard in the capital.
The Forbidden City can't be compared, but the backyard of Prince Gong's mansion is ......
Hehe, it doesn't have to be impossible to press it.
