Construction workers have finished tearing down the two blocks behind our building park that were evacuated a couple of weeks ago.
Back then I told about the van pulling up and announcing to the residents that they had to move out. When that was done, the trucks and cranes moved in.
No fancy techniques here. For several weeks now they’ve been grinding these buildings into the ground, bathing everything around them in dust and dirt. Our walls and windows are covered with it. Bella now wants the house swept and mopped every few days.
The thing about demolishing buildings here in China; whenever you’re done tearing the stuff down, you never really have to haul away as much as you started with. As soon as there’s a chance, there’ll be ten or twenty Chinese on the lot gathering bricks. They’ll clean them up and sell them again or use them for their own houses. Very little gets wasted here.
