《MEILI JIAYUAN》
PULISH:2024 章安
“MEILI JIAYUAN" is a three-year action plan proposed by the Shanghai government, aimed at improving the living conditions of old residential communities.
I lived in a small attic room in an old alley on Chongqing South Road in 2020. At that time, I was puzzled as to why scaffolding was being put up in all the nearby neighborhoods.
By the end of 2023, as I was about to leave Shanghai, I noticed that more and more scaffolding had appeared. It wasn’t until a conversation with Xie Wang that I learned this was part of the "Beautiful Homeland" initiative.
The first time I heard this term, I thought it sounded so beautiful—nothing like a political slogan, but rather a genuine expression of hope for a better life.
About Me:
"Top-notch education, family legacy."
Yeah, that’s what I say to poke fun at people.
I’ve noticed it’s like the go-to template for a lot of Chinese writing.
Throwing a personal intro into the book? It’s all about putting the spotlight on "me."
Everything I create has a bit of "me" in it.
