Lian Qiao Street Statement

Lianqiao Street was not only street that was an old style residential community located Haishu district, southeast Ningbo city in China. There has plenty of Jiangnan style residential building which has more hundred years history. And also people still keep traditional life custom. Horse head wall with grey-green brick and black roof tile. If people walking in this area just like go back old time before half a century. Unfortunately, everything was disappeared in 2007. Residents removed, houses demolished. This is a typical epitome under the Socialist modernization construction in China. Everything will be lost soul and formed zombies. In 2006 summer, I have documented this disappearing area's residents and scenery in order to we can keep a bit of memory.
