Earlier this month (8th), in the memory of 22-year-old University of Science and Technology University student Zhou Zile, thousands of demonstrators gathered in the mall, during which some facilities were damaged, and the glass at multiple entrances was destroyed and shattered. Recently, "JUST BUY WEEKS Thanksgiving Festival 2019" was held in New City Plaza. The shopping mall also strengthened many places in the venue, including installing "iron mesh doors" to protect glass and other facilities.
On the evening of the 8th of this month, some citizens launched a campaign to mourn Zhou Zile in multiple districts, which later turned into a fierce conflict. In the New City Plaza that night, demonstrators broke malls, shattered glass and spray-painted in many places, and also got out of the road and blocked the road. Affected by recent demonstrations, stations, shopping malls, banks, etc. have stepped up "defense" in order to protect facilities.

The reporter visited the scene today and walked into the mall from the direction of Baibu ladder. I saw that the door was still ordinary glass, but in many places in the venue, even if it was not at the entrance or exit, iron grids were being installed, and iron grids would be inlaid. Rubber sheet. As you can see, the iron grid does not completely cover the entire new city square. Some of the entrances and exits and the external walls are still only ordinary glass. Some of the damaged areas at the beginning of the month have not been repaired yet, and they are only covered with white cloth.
As far as restaurants are concerned, most of them are still open, and there seems to be no reduction in footfall compared to weekdays. Some stores are full of customers. The reporter observed that there were three empty berths in the venue. It is known that one of them will be taken over, and the starbucks and simply life of Maxim's Group will continue to operate as usual.
