This photo was taken beside my home. The old buildings were being pulled down. The background are new and tall apartments. The contrast of old and new buildings is very obvious in this picture.
The building was ready to be pulled down. However, you could find some lights were still on. The people who still lived in this building had the interest conflict with the government. They would like to earn more but the government said no.
Poor houses can still be found in Shanghai. The guy in the picture was eating and watching TV at home. At the same time, he was waiting for removing by government. And he would earn much money due to the fact that the house was located in city center.
