Every city project will "kill" a place. When new projects hit, many people and objects with decades of history have been stolen by the thief of the years one by one.
In the Gansu Street Jade Market with a history of more than 30 years, in response to the Central Kowloon Route Project, jade stalls have been moved to a temporary complex for operation. However, most of the "writing letters" who used to write tax returns on behalf of customers died or were unattended. Inheritance has been lost for many years. Some descendants took advantage of the FEHD’s evening closure and cleanup to take away the plaques and mentions of the deceased’s deceased that year.
Hundreds of licensed jade stall hawkers, today (29th) before the FEHD closed down the line at 6 o'clock in the evening, all the goods and shelves in the old stalls were emptied and moved into the temporary complex next to the Leong Hin Lee Yau Ma Tei Community Center to continue operations. Gansu The old jade market in the street was messy once again. Plastic bags, loose jade, and sundries were scattered all over the place. Some people took advantage of the stall people to go to the empty building, hunting for treasures in the sundries, and took them on the spot.
People go to the empty old jade market to mess around, but the tax filing stalls for tax filing and writing letters are kept intact. No matter the plaque inscription or the wooden door design, it seems to stay in the 70s and 80s, and the Xilinmen tax filing company is responsible Uncle Xie listened to the radio, picked up the horse scripture, and said, "You can't take it away in any way. You can go naked." He said that he only brought a small amount of personal belongings to the new market to continue his operation.
This platoon is known as the "Tax Report Street". It has been in business for more than half a century. The owner wrote a good word for the guests or wrote English letters on behalf of the guests. Later, due to the changes of the times, he changed to fill out tax returns on behalf of the clients in order to survive. The price ranges from tens to 700 yuan. Xie Bo said that when the tax bill comes in from June to July, it is the peak tax season, and there are all kinds of customers. He and his partner Xu Bo will also move to the new jade market. However, he sighed: "A lot of writers don't want to do it. You look at the phone number and there are seven characters, and the plaque is not to go."
Unbearable Taigong Calligraphy Abandoned Landfill
One of the Zhugeyan files that survived by writing letters was a stall that had been left empty for more than 30 years. The great-grandson Huang recalled that Tai Gong Zhu had a good handwriting in those days, and he has inscribed for guests at the stall for many years. To feed her family, she went to the stall to sell sway spring to earn pocket money on New Year's Eve in the 1980s. Until Tai Gong died of serious illness, the stall was left empty after the 1990s. The tax filing file next door was borrowed to store miscellaneous items. Until she received the relocation notice in recent months, she learned that all her belongings would be sealed off after 6 o’clock in the evening today and treated as garbage in the landfill, so she and her relatives and friends came to take away the calligraphy of the Taigong, including an inscription. The advertising plaque and a pair of wooden doors with a Chinese character on the back of the door were removed and cleaned and transported away by a passenger car, hoping to keep them as a souvenir, remembering people with the words, and not forgetting the little bit of the old jade market with the Taigong.
In addition to the jade market, buildings with historical characteristics in this area will disappear one after another. Among them, the 63-year-old Yau Ma Tei car park building will also be closed in stages from November this year due to the construction of the Central Kowloon Route. It is planned to be demolished next year. Starting at 01:01 on the 1st, the fifth floor of the parking lot will also be suspended and permanently closed. The Transport Department reminded last Friday (27th) that parking lot users must drive off the parked vehicles before the floor is closed. Or drive to the fourth floor of the parking lot or other floors that are still open to park, otherwise the vehicle will be towed away.
The owner or driver of the vehicle concerned must pay the relevant parking and towing fees.
