纽约时报报道前门拆迁

<p>纽约时报07月11日头版报道前门地区拆迁:</p><p><a href="http://www.iht.com/articles/2006/07/11/news/beijing.php">http://www.iht.com/articles/2006/07/11/news/beijing.php</a></p><p>Old Beijing Worries about the 2008 Gamge.BEIJING<br/>A short walk from Tian/an/men Square and the Great Hall of the People, a<br/>historic neighborhood known as Qianmen looks as if a bomb dropped on<br/>it. Ancient homes lie in rubble. Scavengers squat in alleyways and wait<br/>to ransack vacated buildings.<br/>&nbsp;</p><p>The bomb that hit the neighborhood is the 2008 Olympic Games, an event<br/>that has turned much of the city into a noisy, disjointed construction<br/>zone. New subway lines and new roads are under construction, even a<br/>striking new downtown. On the city's northern rim, at least 25,000<br/>laborers are building the Olympic stadiums and village.<br/>&nbsp;</p><p>And yet amid such grand projects, it is modest Qianmen, once the domain<br/>of Qing Dynasty opera singers and classical scholars, that is prompting<br/>an uneasy question: Will the Olympic Games, which organizers promised<br/>would enhance the city's cultural heritage, instead help finish off<br/>what remains of old Beijing?</p><p>...</p>

<p>Thanks for your information. </p><p>"...a historic neighborhood known as Qianmen looks as if a bomb dropped on it..." (前门,这个历史上天安门和人民大会堂的近邻,看起来像是刚刚有一颗炸弹降落在上面)&nbsp; It's true!!!</p>
