What's the special feeling of living in Beijing Hutong?

The environment is dirty and messy, and life is extremely inconvenient. Hutong, a way of life, is no longer suitable for contemporary society.

The environment is dirty and rubbish is everywhere.

1 Hutong is densely populated. There is no property management company, and there is no need to pay property management fees. Medical insurance is only a few dollars a quarter (when my family lived in Hutong, it was 7 dollars a month, but now I don't know how much). Therefore, it is common to clean up domestic garbage every day. It's ok in winter. Try it in summer. . .

The phenomenon of illegal construction of hutong is very common, and no one can blame it. The bungalows in hutong are generally 10-20 flat households with at least three people. Is it possible to avoid illegal construction?

Life is extremely inconvenient,

1 Most bungalows in Hutong don't have separate toilets, so they need to go to the public toilets outside. There will be a queue in the public toilet in the morning. . .

There is no gas pipeline in the alley, only gas tanks can be used. There is no gas in the middle of cooking, and I have to take the gas tank to the liquefied gas station to change it. These experiences are only known to those who have lived in hutong. . . .

There is no parking space in the alley, and a ticket will be posted on the roadside. If you park in the alley, because the alley is very narrow, every parking is comparable to the driving school exam. . .

The hutong is narrow and the logo is unclear. People who have old people at home are afraid that the old people will suddenly get sick at home alone. I've seen an ambulance arrive in 40 minutes, and people are getting cold. . . Blame the ambulance for being slow? It's not surprising that there was a traffic jam on the road, and the ambulance couldn't get in the alley, so the emergency doctor left the car outside the alley. . . Or because the alley is narrow, fire engines can't get in, and most alleys don't have fire hydrants. Don't make a fire. If there is a fire, the camp will be burned down. . .

Most of the houses in hutongs are old houses of forty or fifty years. Brick powdering, wall alkalization, poor waterproof, weaker ventilation and humid environment. Less than two years after the house was painted, the walls began to fall off. The living environment of this house is not as good as the semi-basement of the building. . .

Those who have never lived in Hutong think Hutong is very good, and those who lived in Hutong 20 years ago also think Hutong is very good. Only people who have lived in hutongs know how hutongs feel. Of course, if you live in a quadrangle, it is also quite beautiful. Because this is a private house, you can renovate and maintain it at will. But unfortunately, most of them are quadrangles with twenty or thirty households. . .
