Yuanmingyuan, a magnificent royal garden in the past, is the broken walls symbolizing the humiliating history of the Chinese nation.
We've thought too much. Whether the Yuanmingyuan needs to be rebuilt is a question that has caused countless debates. So, we had an angry debate about it.
I was fortunate enough to take part in the debate as the opposing party. In the process of preparation, I identified my "main direction" as: insufficient feasibility and destruction of cultural connotation. At the beginning of the debate, I was caught off guard by the argument that reconstruction is a way to remember national humiliation and stimulate domestic demand. We argued that "China needs a hundred schools of thought to contend and the Silk Road bloom, but China also needs the burnt Yuanmingyuan to inspire us to work hard", so I temporarily avoided the feasibility issue and firmly grasped the argument that "the witness and existence of China's history": "The main value of Yuanmingyuan is no longer the glory of the palace buildings and the imperial home forest a hundred years ago, but the shame left by aggression and burning". Finally, I made my point clear: "I support the protection of Yuanmingyuan, but I am totally opposed to recreating the glory of that year."
In the subsequent qualitative debate, Xi Han Wei, the fourth debater of the other side, pointed out that China's foreign exchange reserves have reached 2000 trillion US dollars, so it is fully capable of rebuilding Yuanmingyuan. Therefore, in the free debate, I lost no time in pointing out: "Whose money is the foreign exchange reserve? It is the government's money, and if the reconstruction involves the government, then this is a kind of government behavior with the nature of public. More than 2,500 theme parks in the country, 70% are losing money, so in the end, taxpayers pay the bill. " "According to the Regulations of Beijing Parks promulgated in June, 65438 +65438 10+July, 2002,' it is forbidden to change the original features and patterns of natural landscapes or humanistic landscapes with special historical value that cannot be recreated and regenerated by human resources'." So, is the reconstruction of Yuanmingyuan supported by the government? At this time, the other side defended, and Wang Zhennan responded: "I think this great move should have a strong government as the economic backing, because it will greatly enrich people's spiritual and cultural life, arouse our recollection of history, and thus inspire us to serve the motherland and remember the national humiliation. "I admire this witty response.
Next, it's the audience's turn to ask questions. He Shi in the audience said affirmatively, "Is it only after the reconstruction of Yuanmingyuan that there is joy?" When we remember the national humiliation and walk into the resplendent Yuanmingyuan, we will still remember this history with sadness and remember this national humiliation. " To this, I responded: "But what are the facts we see? Taking Hengdian as an example, the reconstruction of Yuanmingyuan is to adapt to the strategic transformation of Hengdian Film and Television City from a single film and television base to a film and television tourism theme park, which shows that profit and amusement are its purposes. And the new grand Yuanmingyuan, the selling point is actually an unforgettable humiliation! This has to be said that industrial entities lack historical feelings, public spirit and cultural care. " In the final stage of concluding remarks, the four debates between the two sides went all out to sum up the views of both sides in a watertight way, which drew a satisfactory conclusion for the debate.
This debate gave us an opportunity to show and exercise ourselves, and even more aroused our patriotic enthusiasm. No matter whether the Yuanmingyuan is rebuilt or not, one thing is certain: "We are all from China!"
Yuanmingyuan has left a shocking broken walls and lingering pain for China people. Today, Yuanmingyuan announced its "resurrection" in Dongyang, Zhejiang, thousands of miles away from Beijing!
Yesterday morning, Xu Wenrong, the founder of Hengdian Group, announced in Beijing that the Yuanming New Garden with a total planned area of more than 6,000 mu and a cost of 20 billion yuan will be officially started in Hengdian, Zhejiang. At present, the Yuanming New Garden project has been officially launched, and the first round of public fundraising has been launched to accept donations from all walks of life. It is estimated that Yuanming New Garden will appear in Hengdian Town, Dongyang City, Zhejiang Province in five years.
1: 1 Copy Hengdian to rebuild Yuanmingyuan.
Rebuilding Yuanmingyuan in a different place has been a dream of Xu Wenrong for many years. 15 years ago, he was planning to rebuild Yuanmingyuan in different places-collecting information and demonstrating the feasibility of reconstruction. Why did you choose to rebuild Yuanmingyuan in Hengdian? Xu Wenrong said that the most beautiful 15 landscape of Yuanmingyuan was transplanted from Zhejiang to Beijing, so the ideal place for reconstruction should be in Zhejiang.
As the commander-in-chief of the reconstruction of Yuanming New Garden, Xu Wenrong announced at the news briefing that according to the design scheme, the reconstructed Yuanmingyuan will be positioned as a film and television-themed sightseeing park, covering an area of more than 6,000 mu, including Yuanmingyuan, Qichun Garden and Changchun Garden, and will be copied and built with the original scene of Yuanmingyuan in Beijing according to the ratio of 1: 1. The construction project is scheduled to be completed in 20 13. Xu Wenrong revealed that the whole construction project of Yuanming New Garden will formally enter the project implementation stage in 2008, and it is planned to be completed within five years, and the park will be officially opened in 20 13. The investment in the first year is 1 100 million yuan, and the whole project is expected to invest 20 billion yuan, of which 7 billion yuan will be used for the infrastructure construction of Yuanmingyuan. It is reported that Hengdian Yuanming New Garden Project has absorbed investment and construction funds of 654.38+56.2 million yuan and received donations of 654.38+24 million yuan.
The designer spent 15 years collecting drawings.
It is worth mentioning that Zhang Xianchun, the chief designer of Yuanming New Garden, used to be the designer of Beijing Film Studio, and his film The Opium War won the Best Prop Award in the17th China Film Golden Rooster Award.
Last night, Zhang Xianchun revealed in a telephone interview with Chengdu Business Daily that nearly half of the design work of Yuanming New Garden has been completed.
It is reported that it took Zhang Xianchun, the chief designer of Xu Wenrong and Hengdian Studios, 15 years to collect the drawings. They collected a large number of drawings and written materials from the National Archives Bureau, the Forbidden City, domestic private and foreign countries. The design team also visited the site of Yuanmingyuan in Beijing many times to measure the actual dimensions of buildings, rivers and inner gardens on the spot. In addition, Zhang Xianchun also collected a large number of folk materials, especially the models and drawings of "Style Lei" (the Lei family is a royal designer of the Qing Dynasty, and the family has been a design master of Yuanmingyuan for several generations, proficient in Jiangnan garden architecture and praised as "Style Lei" by peers).
It is difficult to raise 20 billion yuan, which is suspected of "wasting people's money"
Ever since the news that Hengdian is going to rebuild the new Yuanmingyuan came out in 2006, it has been controversial. Some people questioned the amazing investment of this huge retro project, the motivation of the reconstructor and whether it could reach the technical level at that time, and thought that reconstruction was suspected of wasting people and money.
However, Xu Wenrong, 73, said that the debate on whether to rebuild the site of Yuanmingyuan has never stopped in academic circles for decades. Nowadays, the discussion has extended from the expert level to the participation of the whole society, which just reflects the concern and attention of all walks of life to Yuanmingyuan. In his view, reconstruction activities depend entirely on the initiative of the people, and its financing channels and operation methods do not violate the principles of commercial operation, which is beyond reproach. Yesterday, the reporter also questioned: At present, only 654.38+56.2 million yuan of investment funds have been received, and 654.38+24 million yuan of funds have been raised. How can the huge amount of 20 billion be put in place?
"The possibility of listing and financing of Hengdian Yuanming New Park is not ruled out." Xu Wenrong said that all the legal procedures in the early stage were to prepare for listing. Li Jianqiang, spokesman of the company, said that Xu Wenrong will go to Hongkong to discuss cooperation today, and they are not worried about the difficulty of raising 20 billion yuan, because many investors are willing to invest in this project. Li Jianqiang told reporters that all the legal procedures for the construction project of Yuanming New Garden have been basically completed, except that the land is being submitted for approval according to law. They think it can be approved. Our reporter Peng Zhiqiang.
