CHINA-SICHUAN-SANXINGDUI-CULTURAL RELIC RESTORER (CN)

(240501) -- CHENGDU, May 1, 2024 (Xinhua) -- This file photo taken in 1997 shows Guo Hanzhong cleaning a bronze standing figure. Guo Hanzhong is the vice head of the cultural relics storage department of the Sanxingdui Museum in southwest China's Sichuan Province. The 56-year-old man is skilled in the craft of restoring cultural relics. In the past 40 years, he has restored more than 6,000 cultural relic items and was deeply involved in the excavation of all the eight "sacrificial pits" found at Sanxingdui Ruins site. After the completion of the field work in the Sanxingdui Ruins site, sorting, protection and restoration of newly unearthed cultural relics have become the most important work in the current research. "There are probably tens of thousands of relics waiting to be restored, and I can't finish the job in my generation. It needs to be done from generation to generation," Guo Hanzhong said, "Repairing cultural relics needs experience. And I will try my best to pass on what I have learned to you

The Residential Building Under A Bridge in Guiyang

GUIYANG, CHINA - OCTOBER 31, 2023 - Residents live in more than 10 residential buildings under the 300-meter-long approach bridge of Shuikousi Bridge in Guiyang, Guizhou Province, China, October 31, 2023. The shortest distance between the roof of the residential building and the bridge slab is less than one meter. The houses also shake with the bridge every time a heavy car passes by. In the 1990s, part of the land was requisitioned for the construction of the airport expressway. As compensation, the vacant land under the bridge is used to build resettlement housing and low-rent housing for poor families. The bridge was completed in May 1997, and the residential buildings were completed in 1999. These houses still do not have real estate procedures, becoming a "historical problem" in the city.
