Construction workers repaired the traditional tile roof of a house in Dongsi, a neighborhood in #Beijing known for traditional alleyways called hutongs. When China’s leaders began the hurly-burly transition to a market economy, they encouraged dislocated workers to take up their own entrepreneurial pursuits. Many of them started small shops, bars or cafes, in what became known as kai qiang da dong, meaning “to open a hole in the wall.” Now, in Beijing, the holes are being bricked up. Neighborhood by neighborhood, block by block, workers are tearing down unauthorized structures, additions and storefronts. In alley after alley throughout the city, once-thriving businesses now have bricked-up walls where storefronts or doors were not long ago. The work, which sped up in the spring, has convulsed entire districts. Hardest hit have been the old neighborhoods of picturesque, if not always pristine, alleyways called #hutongs. It’s part of a campaign — some say a crackdown — meant to transform Beijing’s bustling, overcrowded city center into a futuristic capital of government, finance, media and technology.
