Out with the old

On my way home from work today, I could not believe what I saw, my favorite steamed pork bun place is gone. That little store is left with just 4 poles holding the tin roof. How come I wasn't notified ? What am I going to do when I am craving for that tasty pork buns ? I used to buy them in dozen so I can keep them in the freezer for "emergencies". I wonder if its because of that giant about-to-finish 20 story building behind it had squeezed them out of here. Just what we need, another department store.
I saw the news the other day. Prepairing for the 2008 Olympic game, city of Bei Jing is tearing down the old city at the speed of one city block a day. All the ancient city like Hu Tong or Si He Yuan are gone. Most of them has dated back in 1200. These city allies are unique only to the old Bei Jing city. To replace them are the new modern high rises. Isn't there any old things worth of saving ? After all that was the remnants from our ancestor. We can't deny their existence, good or bad. That is how we came and what we are.
