I’m a Beijing girl living in a courtyard house(Si Heyuan) with all of my family members including my parents, my grandparents, my ancle, my anunt and my cousin. I have a lot of memories of it. I never forget the sound from a hawker selling ice-sugar gourds standing at the Hutong entrance every year. I will never forget the long rhyme of Beijing Opera which is not far from our Hutong. I will never forget my old friends and me frolicing in the yard. I will never forget the old man putting birds out in Hutong…
However, several days ago, there was news that our courtyard house will be pulled down to make room for high-rise office buildings. I have become depressed. I know in the course of urban development, we often find ourselves confronted with the problem of old building. Some people might think we should pull down the old houses and buildings in the way, but in my opinion, it is very rash decision to tear them down without full consideration, because it is a symbol of the city’s ancient civilization and present glory. As to me, it is also a treasure for my memory. What is your opinion? Thanks!
