History can be found not only in museums and excavation sites, but all around us. And for those who've lived long enough to truly understand the word, history is the base from which the present naturally extends. That's why the dismantling of old streets, like "kuan-zhai" road in Chengdu, has become an emotional topic.

Compare the before-demolition picture of "Kuan-zhai" road with the after, and you'll realize just how drastic the change. Over the past few years, urban renewal has brought much disappointment and heartache.
