October 24, 2008 - Where is the History?

Taken @ Fang bang road, shanghai

I can remember when I took this one, it was last Saturday, a nice sunny day. I went out to the Temple of the City God by foot. On the way, I passed some old streets, like this one : fangbang road (方浜路), where there were more old houses last year. But now you only can find this kind of wall along the streets and within the walls all the hourse are tored down and seems some new buildings will be built in the future.

Nowadays you could find such kind of places a lot, the under construction sites. And when I walk on the old streets I was familiar with, the feeling is quite strange. I discussed this kind of phenomena with my friends. Personally, I dont like this kind large-scale removal. History is not only the knowledge we write down on the paper, it is also something we could touch and see in our life. Those old buildings could tell more stories in the past. I hope the camera can help me to memorize more.

Have a good Friday and good weekend ~ :)
