32 Haiyan Gate Street in the lower area is an old quadrangle, seventeen eight households, sharing a faucet and going to a public toilet a hundred meters away. In the heavy rain days, it was raining hard outside, it was raining in the house, and the yard became a swimming pool.
for the residents in the old courtyard, their greatest wish is to move out of the old house early and live in a new building.
the old hospital in the 50s of last century still lived eight or nine residents
East Li Shan Road, South by Dongguan Street, adjacent to paulong Hibiscus District, from the single position, Haiyan gate 32 was busy.
this is an old courtyard of four and four sides. There are a row of houses in the East, the west, and the house in the middle of the courtyard. All are brick houses, which belong to seventeen and eight households. The doors of many houses were locked and rusty. There are also some houses whose wooden doors have been broken, and it seems that nobody has lived there for a long time.
now, there are eight or nine families living in the courtyard. Chen Qingshan, who lives in the southeast of the courtyard, said, "I lived here when I was young. Now it's more than 50 years old. It turned out to be the dormitory of the first transport company in Ji'nan, built in 1950. "
Ms. Li Zhengrong's house is in the yard of Nantou. When she moved here, the child was only 9 months old. Now her child is more than 40 years old. The rich have moved out, and the young people in the yard have bought houses outside. " Li Zhengrong said that most of the old people are still elderly.
Li Zhengrong's house is a house with only more than 30 square meters. She lived with three children and one family, and her grandson's bed was in the living room. A small living room is a place for small businesses to do homework and sleep, as well as for families to eat and watch TV.
winter water faucet water to the toilet to walk up to 100 meters
Li Zhengrong at the door placed more than 10 large and small water storage home. She told reporters that there was only one faucet in the yard, and that he had to take more water to get home.
in January 18th this year, when reporters first came to Haiyan gate 32, several residents were surrounding the pool outlet of the courtyard, and poured hot water on the tap. "The weather is too cold, the water pipes are frozen, and hot water is used to scald the ice to get out of the water." If the ice doesn't melt, the residents can only borrow water from the vendors outside the yard.
Li Zhengrong said: "before, every household in the yard had installed tap water, but the water pipe was often broken, and the monthly water fee was not allowed, so then they were withdrawn, leaving only a tap at the gate of the yard. More than ten households are washing and cooking, and the water is used for the water.
it is a big problem to go to the toilet if the water is inconvenient. Li Zhengrong said, because it is an old house, there are no toilets in every family. The nearest public toilets are located on the edge of Dongguan kindergarten. Go out of the yard and take several turns to walk for more than 100 meters.
rain is a little bigger. Yard is water. Residents have built a high threshold
before the residents. Haiyan gate 32 is lower than the surrounding area. When it rains, it is easy to drown. Recalling the flood in August 26, 1987, Li Zhengrong felt very sad. She said, "the courtyard is lower than the four weeks. The water in the yard is high up to the neck." Children are swimming in the water. Usually rain, one is afraid of water leakage, two is afraid of flooding. The room was leaking everywhere, and there were not many layers of tarpaulins on the roof. The rain is a little bigger, and the yard is easy to accumulate. "
Pang Xiuqing, aged 82, lives in a house in the northeast of the courtyard. He lived here alone for more than 20 years. Despite her old age, her doorstep was built with a cement threshold of nearly 30 centimeters high, which was very inconvenient to get in and out. Pang Xiuqing old man said: "rainy days always flooded, afraid of the water in the house, and later repaired the threshold." Reporters noted that every family has built a high threshold.
Li Zhengrong and the residents in the courtyard now have the greatest wish to live in a good house. "This house is really enough. The relatives were all embarrassed to let them in. Water is hard to protect. We are all old, but there are also grandchildren, who hope that their conditions are better than ours, and that we can have a better life. The surrounding areas are very well built. I hope this can also arouse the attention of the government, remove them at an early date and live in new houses after demolition. "
more than 50 years later, when Chen Qingshan came here, he was still a young man and now he has been a grandfather. He said, "if the house is demolished and we live in a building, we will have peace of mind and be able to live in our old age." Pang Xiuqing old man said: "I don't know if I can live in a house without worry. I'm afraid I can't live in a building for a lifetime."
