Chronicles of the Central Plains Demolition Wars

Spanning nearly seven decades of demolition and redevelopment in Zhengzhou, this story focuses on the transformations of the old city, industrial districts, and urban villages. The intertwined fates of ordinary families, shopkeepers, artisans, and demolition workers reveal the conflicts of interest, struggles of human nature, and preservation of urban memories behind redevelopment. It portrays the pain and renewal of “tearing down” and “building anew” across the Central Plains amid the tides of change.
