Synopsis
The tens-billion old city renovation project has begun. Zhou Shunbo kept the context and played a long game, while Ding Yi took the opportunity to play fast chess. Forces from all directions are fighting openly and secretly, and the city is full of fireworks. There is no absolute good or evil, only position choices. In March in Beining, the wind blows through the old alleys, stirring people's hearts. Concept: The core concept uses the business game of old city renovation as a carrier, and uses the conflicting positions of the two heroines to explore the pull and balance between ideals and reality, emotions and capital under the tide of the times, and write about the choices and struggles of ordinary people in the changing times. Thoughts I want to express: 1. There is no black and white in human nature. There are no pure good guys and bad guys in the book. Zhou Shunbo adheres to the cultural context of the old city and protects the fireworks of the city, but he will also face realistic compromises; Ding Yi pursues interests and emphasizes efficiency, but also has the helplessness of a lower-class background and the difficulties of survival. Everyone is bound by the times, status, and circumstances. Different positions lead to different choices. Good and evil are not simple binary oppositions. 2. Feelings cannot be divorced from reality, and ideals need to be implemented. The ideal of protecting the fireworks of the old city is indeed precious, but it cannot ignore the objective laws of capital, market, and urban development. Sentiment does not mean empty talk, and business does not mean completely utilitarian. The work explores: How to not erase historical fireworks in urban renewal, but also adapt to the development of the times, and find a way for the two to coexist. 3. The destiny and choice of individuals in the torrent of the times. The reconstruction of old cities is not just a project bidding, but also a life chess game for all parties. Capital bosses, planners, urban residents, and entrepreneurs are all involved in the chess game of the times. Individual choices will affect a city, and the tide of the times will in turn rewrite everyone's destiny. 4. What is true "urban renewal"? Urban development is not about simply tearing down and rebuilding, nor is it about sticking to the same place. The real transformation of old cities requires not only the development of high-rise businesses, but also the lives and memories of ordinary people in the streets. The Wind Passes Beicheng is not only a game of capital, but also an inquiry into the soul of a city. 5. The contrasting significance of the two heroines: Zhou Shunbo represents protection and perseverance, while Ding Yi represents progress and survival. The confrontation between the two is not a contest between good and evil, but a collision of two logics of survival. The game between the two also implies that there is more than one path in the world, and different life choices have their own rationality.
