Today, we will go to the quietest street in Shanghai to experience the cultural story behind it. This street is Shanghai Xinhua Road.

basic introduction

Xinhua Road is a street in Changning District, Shanghai. It starts from Huaihai Road in the east and Kaixuan Road in the west. It stretches for more than 2,400 meters from east to west. The road is wide and is an important passage connecting Changning and Hongqiao Airport.

This road was built in 1925 and was originally named “Anhe Temple Road”. It was built across the border when Shanghai became a public concession. Many foreigners once lived here. Therefore, for a long time, Xinhua Road was occupied by foreigners, and many exotic residential buildings with different styles were built here, which have been preserved to this day, so they are also known as the “Wanguo Lane”.

Quiet environment

Nowadays, Xinhua Road has long, narrow and straight roads, towering trees on both sides, and sunlight shining through the sparse leaves. It is known as one of the most secluded roads in Shanghai. Dozens of garden houses of various styles shuttle through the lanes under the shade of the trees. There are English country houses, Gothic architecture, Baroque architecture, French classical architecture, and ancient Roman and Renaissance architecture, with pointed roofs and gray shades. The appearance, variety of forms, romantic and passionate, make people feel its unique charm.

Wudak

These buildings were all made by the Hungarian architect Udak. In the 1930s, they were given the responsibility of designing houses on Xinhua Road. It is said that he left as many as 124 buildings in Shanghai. Cinemas and international hotels have become Shanghai’s leading designers.

Like the bungalow at No. 36, Lane 329, Xinhua Road, it has a conspicuous blue roof and a two-story circular garden. It is called the “cake house”. It is an outstanding masterpiece of Master Wudak. Walking in it is like being in a foreign country, with a strong atmosphere.

Foreign lane

In addition, there is the foreign lane at No. 32, Lane 329, which was once the residence of the Swedish minister and the residence of the Spanish consul-general. The steep double-slope red roof tile surface makes it unique and dazzling among the nearby bungalows.

There is also No. 315, Xinhua Road, this English-style King George style house is a grand residence. Strolling here, the small bungalows, pavilions and gardens that can be seen everywhere are unique and novel, and people can’t help but think of the scene on this road a hundred years ago.

Today, on Xinhua Road, the sycamore branches on the side of the road are lush and leafy, and the shadows of the trees are projected on the unique buildings. There is no traffic, and you can slowly feel the historical atmosphere of this road. At the intersection of Xinhua Road and Panyu Road, there is also a modern building-the first screening hall of Shanghai Cinema.

Today, it has transformed into the world’s first laser projection “Oriental Giant Screen” theater. The world’s top Christie laser projection technology in the studio takes people through the world of science fiction in minutes, giving people a thrilling adventure journey. At the same time, there are a variety of gourmet snack bars downstairs, satisfying people’s appetites, you can come and experience it. (The picture comes from Ctrip netizens)

More and more electric cars Boom for Battery manufacturer

Status: 06/17/2021 10:13 a.m.

The growing number of e-cars on the streets is causing the battery market to grow strongly. One EU country in particular can catch up significantly with its Asian competition.

From Oliver Feldforth, MR

For years it was talked about, now the boom in electric mobility really seems to be there. Electric cars are very popular at a leading Frankfurt dealership. One seller says that what is delivered to him can also be easily sold.

The electric cars have contributed to the fact that the corona pandemic could not harm the battery market in Germany. Last year there was an increase of 35 percent. “Above all, the volume of the market for lithium-ion batteries has increased enormously,” says Christian Eckert from the Central Association of Electrical Engineering and Electronics Industry ZVEI. Overall, this segment grew by 63 percent. And that is mainly due to electromobility.

The recycling rate should increase

A battery is only as green as the material and the electricity used to make it. Even the electric car is only as green as the electricity with which it is charged. When it comes to battery recycling, German industry is on the right track, said Christian Rosenkranz, Chairman of the ZVEI Batteries Association. The recycling rate for classic batteries is 80 to 90 percent, while it looks worse for lithium-ion batteries, which are in increasing demand. The industry wants to achieve a rate of 65 percent in four years.

Environmentalists see a need for action. “It is not only in Germany that we have to set high social and ecological standards for the production of batteries,” says Benjamin Stephan from Greenpeace. “The car manufacturers are responsible for this, but politics must set clear rules for all companies.”

Poland leads the way in Europe

Germany imports batteries. The manufacturers from Europe overtook the Asian competition for the first time last year. In Europe, Poland is the leading producer, in Asia it is China, according to Christian Eckert from the ZVEI.

And electromobility will continue to grow. Volkswagen sees it that way too. The car manufacturer plans to set up six battery cell plants of its own in the next few years. According to Ralf Brandstätter, head of the Volkswagen brand, by 2030 at least 70 percent of all new Volkswagens in Europe should be electric vehicles, in North America and China more than half.

Solid-state batteries as the technology of the future

The decision as to which drive for cars comes after the classic combustion engine seems to have been decided for the time being. “The battery-electric drive is the most efficient and significantly more economical than fuel cells and combustion engines,” said Benjamin Stephan from Greenpeace. “With the same amount of renewable electricity, a car with a fuel cell can only go half as far as a battery-electric one.”

In the case of car batteries, solid-state batteries are to replace lithium-ion technology. It does not require cobalt, which under questionable circumstances is mainly extracted in Africa. For environmentalists, electromobility is only part of the necessary turnaround in traffic. And so Greenpeace is also calling for a change in mobility towards an intelligent transport system in which bicycles, buses and trains play a bigger role

At the request of the Hanoi People’s Committee, many restaurants and eateries closed to receive guests, parks, flower gardens, and public places were empty, causing people’s living and shopping habits to change. prepare only the most essential things in the midst of this COVID-19 pandemic. “Normally on weekends, I often invite my friends to have breakfast and then have coffee, but on epidemic days like this, I only eat breakfast at home, I don’t dare to go out.

Everyone has gone.” Rarely does a tourist walk on the sidewalk without seeing anyone waving A resident takes care of a statue of the god of fortune on Bui Vien Street with the hope that the epidemic will soon be controlled so that this street can be crowded again.

On the occasion of the International Children’s Day every year, the big streets specializing in selling children’s toys such as Luong Van Can, Hang Can… are often bustling with sellers and buyers, as if they were going to a festival, but this year the space is deserted. afflicted by disease. The shop owners almost just sit and watch the phone to watch the shop. Due to the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic, schools give early summer vacations, so there are almost no customers who are schools, parents buy goods in large quantities to make year-end rewards as usual. As noted by the reporter of Tien Phong newspaper, the number of retail customers coming to buy directly is quite sparse, and can only be counted on the fingers. Vendors wait for customers all afternoon, almost no customers come to buy. They took advantage of decorating a few more items on the cars to make them more eye-catching. The whole street of Hang Can, Luong Van Can, on the afternoon of May 31, was sparse with no customers coming to buy. Spider-Man figures are mounted on trees to create eye-catching appeal for young customers, but now there are not many customers visiting. Children’s fashion stores even hang signs of deep discounts of 30%, but there are no customers to shop. Scattered, only a few stores have customers to buy and choose toys. The streets known as the toy capital of the capital such as Hang Ma, Luong Van Can, Hang Luoc… are now deserted without buyers. There are no pictures of stores full of other crowded toys, no more stalls, shelves close to the sidewalk selling enough toys and gifts for children like every year. Not far from the toy shopping market, the Hanoi Children’s Palace, a familiar place for children to play and live in the capital, is now closed to prevent and control the COVID-19 epidemic. The amusement parks are covered with tarpaulin to stop receiving guests according to the epidemic prevention directive of Hanoi city.

It is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. As early as the beginning of the “Battle of the Lower Dnieper” at the end of 1943, he had a showdown with the Nazi heads of state:

“Germany wants to abandon illusions. Ukraine will absolutely not be able to hold it unless you give me 12 more fully-staffed German armored divisions with high morale!” But at this time the Eastern Front has entered a full-scale counteroffensive, and the Northern Army Group and the Central Army Group are also struggling, and the German military has bottomed out. This suggestion is obviously unrealistic. Manstein stepped back and asked the head of state to replenish the troops with a large number of tanks, at least 500 new Tiger and Panther. However, the idea that Nazi Germany reduced industrial production due to the British and American bombings could not be realized. The Nazi heads of state put up two fingers and could only guarantee the dispatch of Manstein’s two divisions. Manstein could only sigh helplessly. Soon after, in January 1944, the Soviet Red Army launched the “Korsun-Shevchenkovsky Battle”. The Korsun salient was eaten by the Soviet army. 60,000 German troops broke through tragically, and only more than 30,000 people were evacuated. The southern cluster has not slowed down. The Red Army under the winning position did not give the Germans any chance to breathe, and the second stage of the offensive was already on the line. In March 1944, the Soviet Union launched the “Proskurov-Chernovich Offensive”, that is, the Chernivtsi Offensive, which the Germans called the “Kanemets-Podulsky Pocket Battle”. This battle was part of the campaign for the liberation of Ukraine. The Soviet army intended to divide the German Southern Army Group and force it to the Carpathian Mountains and then encircle and annihilate it. Zhukov and Manstein made the final duel in Ukraine because of the famous pair. The Soviet Union won a strategic victory, while the Germans still won a tactical victory by virtue of their excellent tactical qualities. After the battle, both the Soviets and Germans were dissatisfied with the result: Marshal Zhukov thought that the Soviets had performed too poorly in this battle and let go of their mouths; and Manstein was dismissed by the Nazi head of state because of this battle, and left. The stage of the Second World War. In March 1944, what kind of peak showdown did Manstein and Zhukov staged?

1. The embarrassing German army: Can’t fight, can’t run yet

Throughout World War II, a large number of battles or offensives with circumscribed names appeared on the Soviet-German battlefield, such as the “Battle of Proskurov-Chernovic”, “Battle of Lviv-Sandomer”, and “Battle of Uygur The Swa River-Aud River Battle” and so on. These battles often took place in the second half of the Soviet-German war, and they were basically part of the Soviet Union’s “ten Stalin strikes”. During the Soviet counter-offensive stage in the late Soviet-German War, millions of the Red Army advanced westward almost simultaneously, interspersing and annihilating the German forces on a large scale, killing and injuring the German forces. These battles often do not target specific cities and regions, but rather a range of combat purposes. Therefore, the starting place or ending point of the battle is taken together to form the name of the battle. On February 17, 1944, the Battle of Korson-Shepchenkovsky ended, and the Soviet army swallowed the Cherkasy protrusion of the Dnieper River Bend. 30,000 German troops died in the breakout, and the relief troops also suffered more than 20,000 casualties and lost 500 tanks and destroyers. Manstein looked at the Soviet front. On the long line of defense of the entire southern cluster, the four major fronts of the Soviet army had as many as 2.5 million, and 800,000 German troops were slammed in Denis outside the Carpathian Mountains. Te River and Prut River Basin. One step harder, the Soviet army will regain all the territory and push the front to Eastern Europe. The German army had just gone through a big defeat, and the armored forces of the Southern Army Group suffered heavy losses but could not be replenished. After eating 30,000 German troops, the Soviet army stopped its offensive in mid-February 1944. The German General Staff in the rear sent a message that they believed that the Soviet army would not launch another offensive. The muddy road conditions in Ukraine were not suitable for mechanized troops to march. Moreover, the Soviet logistics line was too long and the supply of materials would be difficult. Wait until the end of spring to act. Manstein smiled bitterly when he got the news. These “generals in the office” always made plausible suggestions, but they didn’t understand the Eastern Front battlefield, let alone the Soviet army.

Manstein believes that the Soviet offensive is on the line, and it may even be tomorrow! Muddy, cold, and tight supplies were not the reason for the armistice, because the Soviets were vigorous and motivated. They wanted revenge and drove the Germans back to Eastern Europe. The Nazi head of state strictly ordered the German army to hold on to the west of Ukraine, defend and counterattack the Soviet army. In his eyes, the Soviet army is still a mob, the loose sand that was captured more than 1 million in 1941. But what he didn’t know was that the Soviet army had long been reborn from the ashes. The Soviet army in 1944 was already the largest and most powerful army on the planet. It was only a matter of time before the German army was defeated.

2. The largest front army coordinated attack in the history of the Soviet army

Manstein guessed that the Soviet army would attack, and they would cut off the German army in order to divide the south into the group. But if he understands the true intentions of the top Soviet army, the marshal may be shocked to drop his jaw—— Comrade Stalin gave orders to the Soviet Belarusian 2nd Front Army and the Ukrainian 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Front Army to wipe out the Southern German Group in the spring of 1944 and let the German aggressors leave their bodies on Soviet soil. The four Soviet fronts attacked across the board. The Ukrainian 3rd Front attacked in the direction of the Bug River in the south. The Belarusian 2nd Front attacked Rivne and broke into the rear of the Central Army Group. The Ukrainian 1st and 2nd Fronts were responsible for directly attacking southern Germany. The front of the cluster rushed to the Carpathian Mountains to prevent the German army from retreating to the north of the Transnistria. This campaign of mobilizing millions of troops to attack together is unprecedented in human history, and Manstein’s pressure can be imagined. After the Battle of Korsun, the German 1st Panzer Army led by General Hubei was under the attack of Ukraine’s 1st and 2nd Front Army. This army was specially dispatched by Manstein to relieve Korsun. However, after the completion of the rescue, the 1st armored group was trapped in the area of ​​Kamenets-Podolski. The 200,000 German troops were trapped in the severe cold, and the periphery was several times their own Soviet troops. Manstein requested that the 1st Armored Army be withdrawn from the iron net to prevent Corzon’s tragedy from repeating itself. But the Nazi Führer refused this request again. He remained the same and ordered the Germans not to retreat and hold their ground. On February 29, 1944, General Vatutin, the commander of the Ukrainian First Front, was attacked by Ukrainian national elements and was severely injured before his death. On March 1, Zhukov was sent to the Ukrainian First Front Army to take over the troops. The “Deputy Commander of the Soviet Command” once again came to the battlefield to command the army. As the commander of the airborne command, General Zhukov must certainly show his talents in the frontline troops. He immediately organized the troops to launch the “Chernovic offensive” after taking office. The four armies of the southern cluster are all on the front, from north to south are the 4th Armored Army, the 1st Armored Army, the 8th Army, and the 6th Army. Almost every German army has to face the pressure of the two fronts of the Soviet Union. The number of opponents and the number of tanks, artillery, and fighters are several times that of its own. There are 200,000 German troops in the poor “Hubei pocket”. There are 7 Soviet Army groups that form the encirclement alone, with more than 600,000 men and more than 700 tanks. Putting this gap in force on other battlefields, the weaker party may directly surrender. .

3. Hubei Pocket: I predicted your prediction

From March 4th to 11th, all the four fronts began to attack. Smoke billowed from western Ukraine and artillery blasted the sky. But as a commander who took over halfway, Zhukov didn’t know much about the situation of the Ukrainian First Front. The army had problems on the first day of the offensive: First of all, the front-line tank troops were in desperate fuel supply. They could only march for three days. The tank troops had to stop and wait for supplies. The spring mud in Ukraine made it difficult for the army to move at any time. Except for the tanks, all the artillery, engineers, and logistics vehicles were all lying down. The soldiers could only push the cars, and the supplies could not be sent to the front line for a while. The second problem is that the Uzbek’s 1st Front Army has a serious shortage of first-line troops. Some infantry divisions have only half of them. Tanks are even more pitiful. Some “tank army” have less than 100 tanks. But the information could not be transmitted to the headquarters for a while, and Zhukov was not aware of it until very late. The Soviet army had already reached Proskurov on March 10, cut off the Osad-Lviv railway, and separated the German 1st Panzer Army from the 4th Panzer Army. However, due to comprehensive factors such as supply and weather, the Soviet army’s subsequent offensive was not smooth. The counter-assault launched by the German army once made it difficult for the Soviet army to move, and the Soviet infantry even showed fear of war. On March 11, the Army Group South began a counter-assault. 10 German armored divisions counterattacked in the areas of Proskurov and Ternopil. German tanks caused huge casualties to the Soviet army. The frontline situation was urgent and the Soviet forward was forced to retreat. Zhukov hurriedly applied to Stalin to stop the offensive and enter a defensive state, and levied a large amount of tank fuel and ammunition on the front line. At the same time, the Ukrainian 2nd Front Army fought very smoothly. The Soviet army defeated the German 1st Armored Army in the Uman area and seized hundreds of tanks and tens of thousands of trucks, which greatly eased Zhukov’s pressure. After the reorganization of the Ukrainian 1st Front Army, it attacked again, and the Second Front Army’s encirclement of the German 1st Armored Army has been sealed off. This is the famous “Hubei Pocket”. The 200,000 German troops were tied up by the smaller and smaller encirclement. Manstein was anxious as the commander-in-chief. Under the threat of his “resignation”, the Nazi head of state transferred one SS Panzer Corps and two divisions. Members of the southern cluster, and strive to relieve Hubei pocket. But when deciding the direction of the breakthrough, Manstein, the Nazi head of state, and General Hubei, the commander of the 1st Armored Army, had a disagreement. Hubei believes that the south is their only chance to break through, because the Soviet defense here is weak, the army can enter the Transnistria area, and then escape into Romania. However, Manstein strongly disagreed with this line of defense. He suggested that the 1st Panzer Army break through to the west and join the 4th Panzer Army.

Man Shuai’s reason is simple: the German opponent is Zhukov, the best Soviet commander is good at fighting siege and annihilation, the defects in the south is impossible not to be aware of, the Soviet army is likely to have set up positions there. General Hubei thought that Manstein was crazy, and he reported the news to the Nazi head of state. The Nazi head of state also felt that Manstein was a fool. The marshal actually flew to Ukraine to summon Manstein himself and scolded him. But Manstein was very resolute. He claimed that he would not allow the 1st Panzer Army to withdraw westward and immediately resigned. In the end, the Nazi head of state had to agree with him.

It turns out that Manstein was right.

At that time Zhukov had already detected the German retreat, and the large forces began to rush to the south of Hubei’s pocket. If Manstein hadn’t insisted on his own opinion, the 1st Panzer Army might be killed on this wall.

Fourth, the German Wehrmacht on the edge of the cliff

Decided to break through to the west, the German army has tactically beaten the Soviet army, and the rest is the issue of the German army’s ability to execute.

Zhukov was full of self-confidence and laid a defense line in the northern part of Transnistria to wait for Hubei. Unexpectedly, the Germans turned around and turned right before contacting the Soviets and drove west. The soldiers were extremely fast, and the tank units of the 1st Armored Army took the lead, rushing westward at full force, and the remaining troops were divided into three parts to break through.

Manstein took the opportunity to attack the Soviet Union’s western defense line because of the last request of the 2nd SS Panzer Corps and the two infantry divisions to take up the 1st Panzer Army. In the heavy snowstorm in the sky, the morale of the German army was high, and the troops were in strict order. They fought and left with the supply of the air force. They reunited with the relief troops on April 6.

After discovering that the Germans had broken through to the west, the Soviet 4th Tank Army and the 18th Guards Infantry Corps, which were responsible for the western defense, blocked the Germans, but they were quickly defeated. Because these two units only have 60 tanks, it is difficult to resist the offensive of the SS Panzer Army “Tiger Tank”.

As of April 11th, all the 200,000 German troops in Hubei’s pocket had escaped. According to the German statistics, the 1st Panzer Army only paid 16,000 casualties and broke through the encirclement of millions of Soviet troops. This had to be Said it was a miracle. But Marshal Manstein, the creator of this miracle, has been dismissed. He was ordered to be dismissed on March 30, and Model will take his place.

Judging from the performance from the end of 1943 to the beginning of 1944, Man Shuai deserves the title of “famous general”, no wonder he ranked first among the three major German generals. Before this battle, Manstein insisted “ Soldiers’ affairs, the soldiers handle “He applied to set up” Commander-in-chief of the eastern front “The position caused strong dissatisfaction with the Nazi head of state, who believed that this move was to take himself out of the army.

After Manstein’s repeated disobedience, the top of the Nazi Party had lost patience with this general. Although the German troops in Ukraine were wiped out under his command, the Nazis still put the label of “failure” on Manstein. , And used this to kill the chickens and wary monkeys, warning the generals on the front line to obey the orders of the head of state.

But Huber’s pocket’s rescue did not resolve the Soviet offensive. The four major Soviet forces continued to advance and completed their strategic mission in May. Zhukov’s army came to Chernivtsi in front of the Carpathians and divided the German forces. Open. In this campaign, the Soviet army wiped out more than 120,000 German troops, destroyed more than 300 tanks and destroyers, and 600 fighters.

Although the German losses were not great, they almost lost Ukraine, and the Southern Army Group was renamed the “Northern Ukraine Army Group” to fight the beasts on the Uzbek-Polish border.

After May 1944, the Soviet-German war was over. The German Wehrmacht generals already knew that defeat was inevitable, and how to save Germany was a question for soldiers to think about.

In July 1944, some German generals launched an assassination operation, wanting to get rid of the head of state and let Germany dismount from the aggressive chariot. Unfortunately, the assassination failed. After the incident, the Nazi Party purged the generals of the German Wehrmacht, the mastermind was shot, a large number of military commanders were investigated for “loyalty” issues, the frontline generals were imprisoned or replaced, the generals The marshals are also in danger. It can be said that after the summer of 1944, the German Wehrmacht had the Soviet army before and the Nazi Party afterwards, and it had already been forced to the edge of the cliff. Millions of troops on the frontline are in a dilemma. This war has become a chronic death of German soldiers and officers.

The skylight is both the center of the house, and a small yard for planting trees and tying swings for children. She shared, in addition to the rough construction and interior design, she and her husband decorate and design small details, making the house more lively. The skylight part is like the heart of the house, a place for the children to have physical activities and learn through movement games. It is a small corner with a little sunshine, a little green, a little cool wind. The kitchen and dining room are connected to the yard and skylight, so she can do housework while keeping an eye on her children. The wall in the kitchen cabinet is hand-painted by Mai Fang. The pattern matches the paving stone in the yard. The dining table is assembled from many different sets into a complete set. The table is a large wooden board, attached with iron legs. In the dry season, she uses the yard to place a swimming pool, while in the windy season, the leaves rustle. On the skylight there is a sliding glass door, in the rainy season, let the rain fall on the yard. “Many people wonder why my wife and I spend so much space on the skylight. Because I want the children to have time to breathe in some fresh air, so that the older children can love and be proud of their own home,” said Ms. Detail of decorative flowers and grass by the owner. Camping at home. The fern tree in the yard combined with the pair of duck statues makes the home space closer and more rustic. The shelf on the refrigerator is Mai Fang’s husband to store dry or rarely used items. The side wall is painted green for the 2 girls to draw chalk instead of the regular board. The kitchen when the lights are on is very cozy, a place to witness the dear moments of the extended family. Hand-painted textures are quite similar to tiles. The owner’s kitchen table uses black to clean and not stain. The master bedroom has a large window overlooking the skylight. The female owner is an aesthetic person, so every corner is very delicate. The second floor has a desk, a study table for children and a mirror. Mai Fang’s daughter’s bedroom, the wall she painted with watercolors, acrylic colors. Bedroom decor cute, eye-catching with blue, white and rattan furniture. At leisure time, the children spread their toys all over the floor, but after they are done, Mai Fang guides them to clean the room themselves. Thanks to that, the room is always neat. Mother loved painting, so her two daughters also inherited that passion.

On these hot summer days, I remember my childhood again. My hometown Thanh Hoa, summer is very hot. In the summer, when listening to the radio station of the commune, it is 36-37 degrees, but every time the sun is shining, you sweat like a bath, even when eating, you have to beat the fan. The hot sun made when I woke up in the afternoon, the mat where I lay was also dark because of sweat. On windy days, the trees are shaking because of the sun, sitting in the house looking out into the field, seeing the steam keep rising. So, almost everyone has a few or three mo fans, a type of fan made from the stem of areca leaves, also known as mo areca. This stalk hugs the tree trunk, after growing old, it falls down and is cut into a rectangle larger than the A4 paper now, at the bottom, it is folded to make it convenient to hold, easy to control and fan. . That fragrant, fragrant fan has put my childhood to sleep. Later, there were spokes fans, made of young or thin cork and knitted together, but often damaged quickly. The heat of the homeland made every house close at noon and rest quietly, our children were “bitten” by the rash all day long, their limbs were thick with red “bite” spots. When you grow up a little, just wait for the adults to sleep, then gently open the door to hide and play, play football with friends on the street. It wasn’t until later when I grew up that I bought an electric fan at home. At that time people kept calling it Lotus Fan, even though it wasn’t like that. People in the countryside, just call it that, just like motorbikes call it Honda. That simple item is the dream of many homes. At first, only wealthy families could afford it. Perhaps because of the sun and wind, my hometown doesn’t have the custom of having a real Korean New Year as much as other regions in the North. When I was a child, I hardly knew about the vegetarian cake. I don’t know if it’s because of the difficult economic conditions or the customs of my hometown. But on the contrary, the Lunar New Year, the 5th day of the 5th lunar month, my hometown does it quite loudly. Almost every house has dishes such as millet tea, sticky rice, dried fish, and wine. At the market in those days, they also sold a lot of Voi leaves. The women bought them to dry and drink them. Perhaps the climate and nature also affect the lifestyle, customs and habits of each region. Despite the geographical distance, my hometown and Hanoi and neighboring provinces are not far apart. Life has changed a lot now, few people still work in the fields or depend entirely on the fields. Therefore, the impact of nature and extreme weather on the lives of people in my hometown is not as much as before. I’ve noticed that many homes have air conditioning installed. But the feeling of hometown sunshine, the feeling of gardens and fish ponds and its peace in the soul of the country people are still the same. The countryside sunshine in my memory, even though it is harsh but easy to breathe, is clean and sunny, but it cools down quickly, not hot like the streets of Hanoi. The rustic love in the countryside Summer noon calls each other to tingle green tea Yesterday I asked my daughter what she learned today, learned something new compared to yesterday. He said he hasn’t read much today, so I encourage him to find out when, where, and who made the air conditioner. It looks and shows from the beginning of the 20th century, with information about the inventor, the year of invention, the development process. I seem to be getting old, so in the past, when I heard or read something, I remembered it clearly, but now I quickly forget it. I just remember commenting back to my son: then the richest people in the world like Rockefeller probably wouldn’t have air conditioners to use, most of their lives would have to be by train, not by machine. fly. It’s the era of science and technology, I’m happier than him. My daughter seems to enjoy that comparison. I’ve only just said that, and the next thought that comes to me about each era and every aftertaste of life and I can’t say who feels happier and more comfortable than anyone, I have not shared with my children. Let your child’s awareness develop a little more. Homeland has the poetic, the love of the countryside; The street has its own charm, the beauty of the street. Contemplating a little in the hot sunny day and COVID sitting working from home and sharing with each other in the age of Facebook is also beautiful. Today’s experiences will eventually go down in human history, celebrating human life; and certainly, its interesting, only experienced people can see to appreciate and share. 2/6/2021

The scientific world is an endless field, and people should be brave to explore. —— Tong Di Zhou

China has a long history of five thousand years, and there are too many unsolved mysteries that humans have not yet explored. Although the current technology cannot explain it, we believe that we will know the mystery in the future. Around each of us, there will be some things that cannot be explained by science, such as fortune-telling masters. Why do they not need to understand to calculate their own good fortune and good fortune? Old people often say that some things cannot be trusted, but we must also believe in them. We still have to be in awe of the unsolved mysteries.

I don’t know if everyone knows the people on credit knives. From ancient times to the present, there have been rumors that they can predict life and death, predict prosperity, and they will appear whenever something big is about to happen. Thirty years ago, there were people on credit knives who walked through the streets and left behind mysterious prophecies. So what are their identities? What kind of legend is there in them? Today we’ll find out.

The “Prophecy” of the Credit Knife

Perhaps many young people don’t know the credit knives. The inherent image of their group is to carry kitchen knives, scissors, iron pots, farm tools and other items on their backs to conduct transactions. Unlike the transactions of people nowadays, these transactions are not simple. It’s only sold on credit, not on credit. They will credit these things in their possession to those in need, and will leave them with a word or a few prophecies. If this prophecy comes true, they will collect the money, which is regarded as a proof of collecting the money.

Their predictions are usually very weird. For the people of that era, most of them were impossible things, such as: wait until the price of meat becomes too high, then come to buy a knife; or wait until the peasants are not there. Willing to farm, and then collect money and so on. For the people at that time, this was simply impossible, and people were unwilling to believe it. However, the behavior of the credit-knife people still caused a lot of heated discussions. After all, at that time, they The appearance of is indeed very puzzling, it can be said that the dragon sees the head but does not see the end.

Some people think that they use some ancient witchcraft to carry out some feudal superstition activities. After all, all they carry are some knives, so everyone guesses that they use this method to transfer the bad luck of the home to others. Body. Some people think that they are some illegal organizations. Perhaps they use this method to pass information to their own people. The most credible statement is that because the people on credit knives go north and south, the knives they sell will be more unusual. It was much more expensive because at that time, their price was much more expensive than on the market.

The “True Faces” of the Swordsman

Of course, the times are constantly changing, and perhaps most people will not care about the money when their predictions come true. From ancient times to the present, people have been skeptical about it, but with the change of times, their seemingly impossible predictions at the time have actually been fulfilled. What is even more strange is that their prediction of the world has also been fulfilled. The sentence “There are fields for no one to grow, and houses for no one to live. People will come out, and beasts will walk in clothes.” Doesn’t it reflect the current hollowing out of the countryside?

Many people are curious about the true identities of the credit knives, and everyone is beginning to guess where these credit knives come from? But what everyone doesn’t know is that this credit knife has always had a career. It is said that it is the muffled voice of Guiguzi, whose main responsibility is to divination of life and death and to predict prosperity as its own responsibility. We also know that Guiguzi was originally a mysterious figure in Chinese history, and was once known as the “Eternal Wonder”. It has always been an object that people respect. As a disciple of Guiguzi, it is natural to take this as his own responsibility, and the act of crediting the sword is also to accumulate virtue and do good, in order to enhance his own cultivation.

It is worth mentioning that after their prediction is fulfilled, they will not actually come to take their money, but disappear. Such a move also makes people’s guess a little more certain. Of course, the speculation of this statement also has a lot of unpredictability and does not fit the reality. So there is another way of saying that it is grain merchants, perhaps this kind of approach is closer to reality.

Because in the ancient farming society, people paid more attention to food. The price of this food was closely related to the stability of the society. In order to prevent losses in their business, the food merchants made this move. This not only stabilizes people’s hearts, but also guarantees the price of grain, so that it will not lose too much when buying and selling grain, and it will also be able to obtain a small profit from it.

Over the years, there have been different opinions about the people on credit knives, and some people think that the behavior of the people on credit knives may be to relieve the poor who cannot afford knives. They have passed through countless villages, countless customers on credit, and failed to register on the spot for a few years. Postscript? They are doing good, helping the suffering people in the world, and truly serving the people. They should be worthy of admiration from the people of the world! Everyone has their own opinions, but there is no authoritative explanation about their rumors. Maybe we can solve this mystery someday.

The world’s great wonders

In this world, there are too many things that modern high technology can’t explain, even if the current technology is very advanced, it is still the case. After all, the natural world is so big, we human beings are very small in front of nature. So, there are some more profound things that we haven’t explored yet. The road ahead is still long, and we need to explore it slowly. Zola once said: The whole meaning of life lies in endless exploration of things that have not yet been known.

In the discovery and exploration of life, we also need to maintain a calm and objective attitude, and don’t rush for success. If we fail, we will really lose out. Blindly pursuing speed, on the contrary, cannot be a major event. Only when we face these events with a peaceful mind, we will slowly approach success. The world is too big, and there are still many things to explore. In order to see more unexpected wonders, let us take a positive and optimistic attitude, take the pace of exploration, and discover. I don’t know, what do you think about this?

The floor tile with the special logo is one of the logos of “Red Classic Trail” which is basically completed in Huangpu district. This road will focus on the site of the 1st Congress of the Communist Party of China, 7.1 km long, including 13 roads with 14 consecutive points.

Starting in 2019, we planned to create a ‘Red Trail System.’ The road This project will connect scenic spots with historical and cultural sites scattered throughout the city into a central connection, thereby creating an “open-air museum”, attracting tourists from all over the world. Shanghai’s road administration agency cooperates with the tourism industry to implement,” said Mr. Vuong Duy Phuong – Planning and Technology Department of the Shanghai Road Traffic Administration. This custom brick is one of the logos of the basically finished “Red Classic Trail” in Huangpu district. (Photo: Baidu) And to chain the points into a line, the choice of the path must be appropriate. For example, moderate length, walking time between touchpoints about 15 minutes.

Ensure the principle on the basis that the road must be clearly and accurately indicated, the road logo should be placed on one side and the signs must be combined with the facilities located in the green belt. “The classic red trail in the Huangpu district is the first step in Shanghai’s experiment. Next, we plan to build more walking routes in the urban area around the sites of the Second and Fourth Congresses of the Communist Party of China.” Mr. Vuong Duy Phuong believes that each district can combine its own characteristics and explore more. For example, for tourists’ varying length of visit needs, offer a mix of one-day tours, half-day tours, one-hour tours, etc. travel preferences of tourists, offering routes focused on consumption, commercial shopping or offering tours and walking, humanistic route-oriented experiences meet the need to delve into the block and find read city history, architecture of tourists. As street elements that will be preserved for a long time, do not let these signs become “complicated” objects for the street. (Photo: Baidu) Today, Shanghai is conducting slow traffic planning and construction, and the red trail is one of them. The person involved in charge of the Municipal Road Traffic Bureau said that they will explore more similarly themed trail constructions around the “Guide to the Good Management of Urban Roads in Shanghai”. In addition, a “Slow Traffic Design and Planning Guide” has been drafted and will be published soon to guide the planning and construction of slow traffic in different districts and promote traffic improvement. slow./.

Drink and hunt for discounted goods From 18:00 onwards, fashion shops on Nguyen Trai Street (District 1, District 5) began to be crowded with buyers and sellers. Fashion stalls from clothes, shoes, bags … are packed tightly on both sides of the sidewalk. All have discounts to attract customers. Ms. Tran Thi Hoa (35 years old, from Nha Trang) said that every time she had a chance to go to Saigon, she would visit the fashion street to hunt for great discounts. “In the past, I used to go to Ben Thanh night market (District 1), but since the COVOD-19 epidemic until now, this market has closed. Go online, I see people recommending fashion street at night, so stop by and get addicted. Any product is available but the price is very affordable ”, said Ms. Hoa. Fashion street in District 5 is bustling every night, due to discounted goods Every time he has the opportunity to come to Ho Chi Minh City, Mr. Tran Duc Binh (from Long Xuyen) often brings his family to the shopping mall while having fun, eating and drinking combined with shopping. “We usually return to the hotel at 22h, because at this time the entertainment, shopping, and dining venues are closed, the streets do not know where to go, there is no play area for children at that time. both. Meanwhile, all day I have to meet, in the evening take advantage of the time to take my family to visit the ruins, but the places have closed since 16:00. At night, only pubs serve overnight, nothing else, ”Mr. Binh expressed regret. Night food area in District 6 Ho Chi Minh City or Bui Vien walking street (District 1), mostly serves food and lacks entertainment activities. “I also want to run other services, but every shop sells drinks. Now” I have a beat “, it does not attract customers. Nobody takes children to the dining area for entertainment, ”said Mr. T, manager of a snail shop in the night food district in District 6. Lack of specific products Ms. Tran Thi Phuong Linh, Marketing and Information Technology Director of BenThanh Tourist, said that the streets and pedestrian streets in Ho Chi Minh City are not focused on investment, there is a lack of outdoor stages. In addition, the scale of the roads is few and small, lacks space for spectacular and exciting night activities. River cruises watching the sunset on the Saigon River have not created a highlight, so it is difficult to attract visitors back. Mr. Tu Quy Thanh, Director of Federation of Travel analysis, Ho Chi Minh City lacks night services for tourists. If you look through the list of culinary business spots scattered in District 1, District 3, District 5 … many people will be really overwhelmed. However, this place is mostly spontaneous. Ho Chi Minh City needs to plan integrated amusement parks (dining, shopping, entertainment …) such as Thailand, Singapore … for convenience for customers to spend money. “Another point is that governments at all levels should not let business people swim by themselves. The tourism industry in Ho Chi Minh City needs to make statistics on how effective it is to deploy business on food streets, gold and silver streets, and if small businesses need any support or not to have appropriate adjustment plans. Pay close attention to local tourists, do not neglect them. Food safety and security is also something that tourists are very concerned about. The epidemic prevention work is also important at this time, so the functional departments must regularly remind tourism, hotel and restaurant businesses to strictly comply with the regulations on epidemic prevention of the health sector ”, Mr. Tu Quy Thành said. In 2020, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Tourism has cooperated with the Department of Culture – Sports of Ho Chi Minh City and the district units to build and exploit existing tourism products associated with the night economy in the host city. weak in 3 product groups. Specifically, the group of tourism products associated with the discovery of urban community culture at night, concentrates on streets such as Bui Vien pedestrian street, Nguyen Hue pedestrian street. In particular, last year, the People’s Committees of districts have stepped up the construction and opening of pedestrian streets combined with shopping and food in the district such as Ky Dai Quang Trung pedestrian street (District 10), night market and pedestrian street combined with night activities of Dam Sen Cultural Park (District 11), Hoa Binh Square Go Vap … Besides the pedestrian streets, some specialized streets other businesses that attract many tourists such as the food street; Oriental medicine street; gold, silver and jewelry stones; lantern street. In addition, bars, clubs, cafes also attract tourists. According to Nguyen Thi Anh Hoa, Director of the HCM City Department of Tourism, “night activities and entertainment” are products that can make a difference to the night economy of Ho Chi Minh City compared to other provinces and cities. Because if there are no activities related to art, cuisine, and shopping, the night activities will be very poor. Ms. Hoa also said that the tourism industry of Ho Chi Minh City is cherishing the plan to implement the Tourism Development Strategy of Ho Chi Minh City until 2030, building the city to become a center for night tourism activities, with many solutions to develop tourism. develop food tourism, shopping and entertainment products at night. However, Ms. Anh Hoa also admitted: “Despite many efforts, the night tourism products in the City in general are not really rich, diverse, and complicated security and order issues. . Survey data also shows that only 15% of tourists will definitely recommend HCMC to their friends and family and 10% will definitely return for the attractiveness of entertainment and activities. nocturnal action ”.

Dubbed the “Queen of April”, the lilies have long been a symbol of the Capital’s early summer days. White lilies have entered poetry and painting, symbolizing the gentle and shyness of the young woman. On roads like Hanoi such as Thuy Khue, To Huu, Le Van Luong, Lang Ha, Quang Ba … lilies have covered and followed the street vendors. Lilies are easy to spot on the street.

Currently, the type of flower sold for sale is mainly like a trumpet with small flowers and shorter than western trumpet, when blooming has white petals, yellow pistil emits a gentle aroma. In Hanoi, lilies are grown in flower villages such as Dong Anh, Tay Tuu, and Dan Phuong. To be able to harvest in April this year, farmers have to plant and cultivate from 10 to 11 years ago. If the rain is good, the flowers meet the standards, each branch has from 3 to 4 flowers. From the garden house, the flowers are busy and the vendors walking down the street to the hands of customers. Although many people are busy, busy, and hustle, they also took advantage of buying April trumpets. Lilies are very “sensitive”, outdoors the flowers must always be soaked in water to avoid wilting.

The smartest street-Daxue Road

Mr. Liushahe once said: “The five major cultural landmarks in Chengdu, I think they are the Old and Young City, Huaxiba, Thatched Cottage, Wuhou Temple and Chunxi Road. The other places are all city scenes, but Huaxiba is a humanistic atmosphere.”

Whether it is the West China Campus of Sichuan University, which is one year older than Tsinghua Academy, or the West China Hospital of Sichuan University, which is a top medical leader in China, the literary atmosphere and “study hegemony” temperament here are becoming stronger and stronger.

In March of this year, Huaxiba, as one of the important components of the “Nine Squares” in the “Eight Streets, Nine Squares and Ten Views”, also opened a new chapter.

Facing the fact that the red leaf maple goods on the Nguyen Chi Thanh – Tran Duy Hung route die or grow poorly due to the lack of adaptability to the climate conditions of Hanoi … some people wonder why the maple is grown at the Diplomatic Corps (Xuan Tao, Bac Tu Liem, Hanoi) is green again, in winter, trees turn red leaves beautifully?

Many people mistakenly think that the following trees after planting in the Diplomatic Corps are red-leaf maple because of their maple leaf shape and the ability to turn red in winter.

Answering the above question, Assoc.Prof.Dr. Dang Van Ha, Director of the Institute of Landscape Architecture and Urban Greenery, Forestry University affirmed that the crops grown in the Diplomatic Corps area are not red-leaf maple, but tree follows. This native species of Vietnam is being planted widely, from North to South because it has good growth and development, especially in urban areas. In Hue, the latter has been planted for a long time, many trees with a diameter of 60-70cm.

In Hanoi, in addition to the Diplomatic Corps, the latter is also grown in the West Lake, the area of ​​the Korean Embassy, ​​the regulating lake of the Exchange City urban area … The following trees are growing green. well, trunk diameter 20-30 cm, about 6-7 m high.

“The posterior leaves are shaped quite like maple leaves. In winter, they change from green to dark yellow and red, so many people easily confuse them. However, just based on the leaf lobe it is possible to distinguish 2 species. Specifically, the posterior leaves split into 3 lobes and the maple leaf has 5-6 lobes. In addition, the maple tree has no fruit, while the posterior fruit has many soft, pointed spines ”, Assoc. Analysis by Dr. Dang Van Ha.

However, according to experts, just based on the leaf and fruit lobes can easily distinguish these two plants.

According to Mr. Ha, later it can be planted well in urban areas, parks, sidewalks, medians … Trees not only have the ability to grow well, but create beautiful landscapes thanks to the characteristic turning the color of leaves to red. . Young shoots that sprout up right after the leaves fall, are also fancy pink. According to the Institute’s observations for many years, plants do not have pests and diseases affecting humans. After about 50-60 years of growth, the tree has the phenomenon of aging, so it should be noted that dry branches are pruned.

Small leaf wing, why is preferred?

According to both plans to replace the red leaf maple row on the Nguyen Chi Thanh – Tran Duy Hung route, small leaves are selected. Mr. Tran Anh Tuan, Deputy Director of the Department of Maintenance of Urban Technical Infrastructure (Department of Construction of Hanoi), said that the small leaf eagle has been experimentally planted for a long time and brings beautiful landscapes on many streets in the city. Hanoi like Dao Tan, Nguyen Khanh Toan, Kim Ma … Through monitoring, the tree grows and develops well and stably. In particular, this plant has very few pests and diseases, is less prone to breakage during storms, and does not take care of and pruning.

Small leaf balm has been planted for a long time and has adapted well, creating a beautiful landscape for Hanoi.

According to Assoc.Prof.Dr. Dang Van Ha, small leaf eagle, also known as Taiwanese eagle, is a suitable crop in urban areas as well as in many other places. Tree has the advantage of strong root system, less breakage, flexible stem and branches.

“Small leaf balm was imported abroad into our country about 20 years ago, and grown in many provinces throughout the country, including Hanoi. Plants are easy to propagate, grow well, do not pick up soil, and can be grown both in dry places and high water levels. Trees give good shade in the summer. In the southern provinces, in the dry season, the tree often loses its leaves. However, in the North, the tree also loses its leaves, but only for a short time and produces young leaves immediately. Because the small leaf almond root has “floating” properties, it should be considered when planting in narrow streets, which do not affect the quality of the pavement “, Assoc.Prof.Dr. Dang Van Ha said.

For the people of Hanoi, the rows of small green-leafed almond trees planted for many years have become familiar and captured the hearts of many people by the beautiful landscape trees. The trunk grows straight, branches grow horizontally or form to create circular, interwoven canopy, creating shade. The leaf is shiny green and gradually darkens over time, the deciduous time is very short.

There are many suitable advantages that help the small leaf eagle to be selected as a priority for urban crops.

The trial planting of new species of trees in Hanoi is completely normal in order to supplement and enrich the urban greenery system, which plays a very important role in improving and improving the quality of life for the people. However, before trials showed that new species of trees have not been adapted, the replacement with more suitable species is necessary so that the capital city always maintains green, fresh and urban beauty.

White shirts are no longer restricted to work environments. Today, with their creativity, women have many fresh and sexy ways to dress from a design that seems to cause boredom.

The white shirt itself is not revealing, just a few small changes also make the discreet shirt extremely sexy.

The most common way to wear it is to let go of a few rows of buttons to reveal the chest groove that looks both pristine and erotic.

Still letting go of the top few buttons, the way to wear a shirt to reveal dark underwear inside is judged to be more bold.

This way of dressing makes many Korean idols fall in love. From revealing underwear straps or bra plates all help the beauties show off the slender green straps and the “deadly” sexy look.

Meanwhile, button brakes are considered to be the most violent. It is only suitable for creating strokes in art pictures instead of “burning” the streets.

A dress that hides pants with a moderate gap, without worrying about objection, is also responded by many women.

Instead of wearing a female white shirt in the usual shape, many beauties transform the item into a more sexy and seductive style while still retaining elegance and sophistication. A one-shoulder white women’s shirt, for example.

The special highlight of this variation is to show off the slender shoulders, completely overcome the feeling of dry towels that attach the label to the white shirt.

Rows of withered red maple leaves on the streets of Nguyen Chi Thanh and Tran Duy Hung.

According to the Hanoi Department of Construction, in 2018, 262 maple trees were tested from the median strip of Nguyen Chi Thanh – Tran Duy Hung streets. In which, Nguyen Chi Thanh line planted 119 trees, Tran Duy Hung line planted 143 trees with the aim of changing the face of the capital. After 2 years, initially showed that the tree was not adapted to the climatic conditions of Hanoi, 45 trees died, 217 trees were alive but poor growth and development. After a while, leaves are wilted, branches and branches are dry and susceptible to diseases.

In this situation, Hanoi City People’s Committee has recently approved the Department of Construction’s proposal to replace the row of red-leaf maple trees on the median strip of Nguyen Chi Thanh – Tran Duy Hung streets with small almond trees, body diameter 10 – 15cm; Top height is 6 – 8m. The replacement of the new tree system on the median line Nguyen Chi Thanh – Tran Duy Hung will be implemented in April 2021 and completed before the holidays April 30 and May 1, 2021.

According to experts, the small leaf almond tree has been planted by Hanoi City on the roads such as Nguyen Luong Bang, Tay Son, Xa Dan, Kim Ma … After a period of planting, the small leaf almond tree grows stably and appropriately. with urban space. This plant is less susceptible to pests and diseases, less defoliation, easy to grow, and does not take much care. The stalk is straight, the eagle leaves are green, and the canopy is wide. Trees create shade for the summer and bring a green landscape to the capital.

Meanwhile, the red leaf maple tree is not suitable for planting in Hanoi, the tree is only suitable for temperate climate conditions, cold weather while our country is a tropical climate, hot weather, heavy rain. When implementing the project of planting red-leaf maple trees, it was too hasty, not to plant 1-2 trees first but planted right on the median strip of Nguyen Chi Thanh – Tran Duy Hung route in large numbers. Therefore, the situation of dead trees and poor development has affected the landscape of the road as the gateway to the city heavily.

“In the old days, everyone expected that the red maple tree orchard would make the Nguyen Chi Thanh – Tran Duy Hung route the most beautiful route in Hanoi. But the maple tree could not withstand the extreme weather and kept dying and withering gradually. People like me find that the city just grows plants that can survive in climatic conditions such as small leaf almond tree or sesame buds, “said Linh.

The replacement of red maple trees on Nguyen Chi Thanh – Tran Duy Hung street is suitable and necessary to restore the urban beauty of these two routes. New tree planting projects should be implemented synchronously, but the project should be conducted carefully and in no hurry to ensure the best results.

The small leaf almond tree is a suitable tree for growing in urban spaces.

The green tree company as well as related parties need to pre-test the new tree thoroughly before planting it on main roads of the capital so as not to happen the situation of dead trees and poor growth. At the same time, attention should be paid to choosing suitable urban greenery that can withstand the tropical climate to develop and grow well.

The alley is only half a meter wide, deep, smoking, people have to turn on the electricity 24/24 to see the path, the entrance can only be one by one.

Alleyways are only available in Hanoi’s Old Quarter

Along the streets such as: Hang Buom, Hang Chieu, Hang Duong, Lane Brick, Lo Su … are super-small alleyways, right behind the shops with splendid light; is known as a “specialty” of Hanoi Old Quarter.

Streets located in the old town area are called “diamond streets” of Hanoi, with a value of up to billions of VND / m2, equivalent to land prices in the most expensive cities in the world. like New York, Paris or Tokyo.

In the area of ​​Hang Ngang – Hang Dao, Dinh Tien Hoang, the price of road surface is said to be from 800 million to more than 1 billion VND / m2.

Most of the households living in these alleys are families with 3 generations, sharing a small house, only 10m2.

An alley on Hang Buom Street, deep and dark like a tunnel.

Mr. Le Cong Vinh (70 years old, Hang Buom street) said: “Although I am used to living here, sometimes I find it inconvenient. Every time you want to renovate the house, you have to pay more labor costs to carry the materials bit by bit from outside the entrance to the house ”.

According to Mr. Vinh, the biggest inconvenience here is the lack of common living space for everyone. Every time anyone’s house has a table, they have to borrow the space of the next house to have enough room for guests. When shopping for household appliances, everyone has to consider, calculate and only dare to buy items with the size that can pass through the lane.

Even during the day, even with the lights on, the alley is still dark.

Mr. Le Ngoc Anh (45 years old, Hang Buom street) expressed concern: “I only care for children who do not have a place to play and play. Every afternoon, they come home from school to see them sitting in the house watching TV or playing on the phone.

Alley space is narrow, many families with young children often have to go to the park or walk around the street to save trouble.

The lane’s meager space is used as a place for furniture, goods, and bicycles.

The electrical wiring and meters above are installed running along the small alley, potentially many risks, not ensuring electrical safety and fire prevention.

“The alley, the house is cramped, but it can’t be helped to move.”

Located deep in the alley only about 50cm wide, with dim electric lights on Hang Buom street, the house of Mr. Nguyen Thanh Long’s family has two floors, each floor is less than 10m2 but has 6 people, 3 generations. live together.

Mr. Long shared: “Although living conditions are quite tight, many households here do not want to move anywhere. Moreover, if we move, we do not know what kind of profession to make a living ”.

The small room, narrow alley, and Mr. Long’s furniture are only “moderate” in size.

An alley corner is used as a cooking place.

Many households have to share living space to save space.

The alley is very narrow, only one person can pass, so people often wait for each other to take each car out one by one …

Le Thi Gai (75 years old, Lo Su street, Hoan Kiem district) shared that her family has lived here since the 1960s, most of people here are manual labor, small businesses. in the old town. Although there are many inconveniences, the households living in these alleys are very united.

“Previously, 4 households in the alley used the same toilet, now life is better, each house built its own toilet, but we still told you to clean the way together. go, everyone’s living space ”.

A small, deep alley is nestled among flashy street shops.

Since 1998, the People’s Committee of Hanoi has started an old town migration project with the aim of reducing population density in the AQ from 823 people / ha in 2010 to 500 people / ha. Accordingly, the area of ​​Hoan Kiem old town has to move over 6,500 households, with about 27,000 people.

In the middle of 2019, the project of stretching the old town continues to restart after the years that seem to have “fallen asleep”. However, after more than 20 years of implementing this population relaxation project, the old quarters with a large population density, narrow houses crowded in deep streets continue to recur. Damage, peeling walls, steel core inside is common.

The alleys are not noisy, no hustle and bustle, still quietly nestled on the bustling streets of more than 20 years. The people living in it still keep harmony with each other, yield to the little common space, and preserve the civilized lifestyle of Ha Thanh land.
