Maggie's World ...
construction to begin...
Took a walk at the construction site nearby, still quiet, as today is Lantern festival and the workers have not yet returned from their hometowns where they went to celebrate Spring Festival, the Chinese New Year.
Destruction of the old houses is complete and only rubble remains and here and there an old toy, a broken pot, pieces of green glass, old tiles and red bricks.
Everything is in place for construction to begin behind brand new white walls as soon as man power is back. Do not know yet what will rise up from the rubble.
The people who lived here have moved to new apartments somewhere else. I know some of them moved happily and some found it very hard to depart their hundred-year- old homes beside the river.
