"Every piece of copper is a resounding slap in the face ...... us”

On August 24, 2021, Wu Jin, secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee of Hubei Province, said this at the work meeting, and I don't know who was blushing?

Despite the boiling ** on the Internet, the giant Guan Gong statue located in the Jingzhou Guan Gongyi Garden Scenic Area was finally ordered to be dismantled and moved, which is incomprehensible.

You must know that this statue took 5 years to build at the beginning, and it took 1700 million yuan, this is said to be demolished?

Facts speak louder than words, dismantle it, 50 days has been fruitful, but the cost of this demolition will cost 1500 million yuan, the reason for tossing back and forth is annoying.

On July 10, 2020, the statue of Guan Gong in Jingzhou, Hubei Province was on fire all over the Internet, and then the relevant departments intervened in the investigation, followed by the news that it was going to be demolished and moved.

One step after another, the process of this incident was too fast, so that netizens had no time to react, and the local people in Jingzhou did not know why.

This was built so hard, why is it going to be demolished?When it was first built, it was so loud that people who didn't usually pay much attention to it began to look forward to it.

From the beginning of the rumors to the solid foundation, the project took five years, and the local citizens waited for five years.

Investors have a great vision for this statue, not to mention the people who are in business, even ordinary people will worship the statue of Guan Gong in order to seek wealth.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that Confucius is worshiped and Guan Gong is worshipped, and then with the progress of the times, Guan Gong has gradually evolved into an "all-round idol".

If a magnificent statue of Guan Gong can be built and publicity can be increased in the later stage, it is expected to become an Internet celebrity check-in place and a new landmark in Jingzhou City.

People from all over the country come here to check in, which will invisibly drive the economic development of Jingzhou, and the historical figure building is also a famous attraction.

Moreover, the relationship between Jingzhou and Guan Gong is quite deep, even viewers who have not watched the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" TV series should have heard of it.

The allusion to this "careless loss of Jingzhou" has a long history, and Jingzhou is a famous historical city, and Guan Gong is one of the resounding business cards.

Of course, there are many historical allusions about Guan Gongguan Yunchang, such as going to the meeting with a single knife, beheading Huaxiong with warm wine, and beheading six generals after five passes ......

Among them, the Qinglong Yanyue knife is a famous weapon, and there are countless imitations of the descendants, which is very popular with the masses, which is also reflected in the giant Guan Gong statue that is about to be demolished.

With the handle facing upwards and the blade downward, it is 70 meters long and weighs 136 tons.

What's more, in order to attract the public's attention, investors have made a lot of money, and the statue of Guan Gong is covered with copper sheets, and the process is complex and exquisite, which is beyond the reach of human resources.

In this way, five years is not a long time, and it costs 1700 million yuan seems to be excusable, I saw him standing in Jingzhou Guan Gongyi Garden Scenic Area, magnificent, majestic.

Standing here, I don't need to say much to be shocked, looking at the finished product, the people who participated in the construction seem to have seen the scene of tourists in the future.

Everyone is smiling, and they are proud of their own labor achievements or investment vision, and with a gimmick, the money will come.

The return of capital will not only double, but a large amount of gold and silver is beckoning, and everyone is happy to witness the creation of another landmark building.

It's just that it's only going to be demolished after a long time!The money is not earned, or is there someone jealous behind it?How will this behemoth be dismantled?

As the investigation by the relevant departments deepens, there are more rumors about the giant bronze statue of Guan Gong in Jingzhou, and it is not unreasonable to listen carefully.

The statue is built, and the next thing is the opening of the scenic spot, but there is a bright reality in front of you, why are the number of people coming to the park so small?

No, this Guan Gong statue is known as "the largest in the world", and the tall and brave warriors cannot be seen elsewhere.

According to the innate curiosity of the public, they have to come and see it, and the project has just been completed, which is the best time to make money.

But sometimes the advantages are also disadvantages, it is precisely because of its tall stature that tourists who come to Jingzhou to check in do not need to get close to it, they can get a glimpse of it.

What a loophole!The local citizens saw that it was built successfully little by little, and saw the appearance of his tripod at the beginning, and then slowly took shape, and there will be surprises.

There are also tourists who want to visit up close, but the ** of this ticket is not cheap at all, and it is not a pass, so what do you want it for?

Many tourists who stepped on the pit shared their experience, walking under the bronze statue of Guan Gong, but they were in this mountain, and they couldn't see his original appearance clearly.

If you want to take a group photo, the periphery is the best, not only don't need money but also take a panoramic view, this comes and goes, the number of people in the scenic spot naturally decreases sharply, and it is very different from the original idea.

But if there is no income, how can the upfront funds be earned?A wave of unevenness has risen again and again, and there are ** reports that the foundation of this Guan Gong statue is sinking!

This is a big issue involving public safety, and the relevant parties attach great importance to it, and reporters from all walks of life have focused on it.

The scenic spot directly put out a sign that can not be visited nearby, which is undoubtedly a self-cut back road, but there is no way, it is better than closing the park and demolishing it.

Unexpectedly, there were fewer and fewer tourists who came to buy tickets to visit, and the foundation sinking was finally "diagnosed" after many experts discussed and detected.

The total weight of the statue of Guan Gong is more than 1,200 tons, and there are more than 4,000 pieces of pure bronze pasted outside

If you know that there is a danger and are willing to take risks for the sake of economic gain, it is even more scary to think about it, not to mention that the historical value of Guan Gong is being used, and it is not a small problem when it comes to security matters alone.

Subsequently, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development notified it that the location of the Guan Gong statue was within the scope of the ancient city historical city of Jingzhou City, Hubei Province, and violated relevant regulations.

The modern building destroyed the style and historical context of the ancient city to a certain extent, and then ordered the relevant person in charge to rectify it.

One link after another, so many problems have not been solved, and it was revealed that this giant Guan Gong statue belongs to illegal buildings.

At the beginning, the investor did not take down the consent letter to build, so he thought about cutting it first and then going through the relevant procedures while building.

It's just that as time passed, the statue of Guan Gong gradually became completed, but the document agreeing to build was not passed, and the knife hanging above his head still fell.

Now, thousands of things are gathered together, and various departments meet to discuss, which is no longer to discuss the illegal construction of the Guan Gong statue, but how to deal with it in the future.

There is no need to discuss, in fact, to this point, whether to demolish or not is a constant trouble, and the discussion of the masses is completely unavoidable.

After spending a lot of money and painstaking efforts, in the end, the bamboo basket was empty, and finally planned to dismantle the statue of Guan Gong and move it to Dianjiangtai in Jingzhou District.

This demolition is also delicate work, and the cost is as high as 1500 million yuan, which is not counting the cost of reassembling after dismantling, tossing back and forth to let outsiders see jokes, and the locals are even more guilty.

Someone suggested not to dismantle it, isn't it obvious that it is a waste of money?It has been suggested that it must be demolished, and who knows what serious consequences will be if the foundation continues to sink.

Of course, the opinions of the masses are very large, and it is not an exaggeration to say that this operation is a waste of money and labor, and urban construction will inevitably bring inconvenience to people's travel.

Please understand" There is also a limit, but in the end, the order is issued, and the demolition of the statue of Guan Gong will start immediately, without further delay.

If things drag on, the hidden problems brought about by this project will only be more, ** continue to ferment, and the leaders of Jingzhou City said that they do not want to be "famous" with such an image.

Since there is no relevant document that allows the construction of this Guan Gong statue, how did it land and build it?What have the heads of the relevant departments done for such a long time?

Netizens questioned one after another on the Internet, but there was no response for a long time, and it was not wrong to order rectification, but long-term rectification did not help solve the problem except for delay.

On September 1, 2021, the demolition and removal of the giant Guan Gong statue officially began, and from top to bottom, the head has been removed.

Moving the body first, and then unloading the knife, this progress took only 50 days, 1500 million yuan was spent cleanly, without mercy.

The original ambition was also shattered by reality, and I thought that I could make a difference with Guan Gong's fame and historical imprint, but after all, it was a mistake.

The weight of this history lies in the story behind it, and people like Guan Gong naturally as a beautiful vision.

Such a concrete image, such an obvious charging project no one in the world knows, but history and culture are to be learned, Xi inherited, and then carried forward, not a tool to make money.

Even without this tall and majestic giant statue of Guan Gong, his image in people's hearts will never fade, and what should be enshrined must still be enshrined.

Because history cannot be changed, now that the statue is demolished and moved, it cannot be changed, and it will eventually become another history of Jingzhou.

The ancient city has its own charm of the ancient city, every brick and tile is life, no need to add more color, inheritance of history and culture must be sincere.

It is not possible to take care of the project without regard for the future, and it is even more impossible for the leaders to shirk responsibility among themselves, and the behavior of only taking power but not taking responsibility must be self-reflective.

The statue of Guan Gong in Jingzhou is a living example, and it is no wonder that he was named by the secretary of the municipal party committee.

Guan Gong carelessly lost Jingzhou, Jingzhou carelessly lost Guan Gong, this operation has become a joke in the end, if it is not done, where is the credibility of state organs.

To be an official for the people, to do business needs to stand up, a good business philosophy and the starting point of justice are indispensable, everyone has a scale in their hearts, responsibility must be investigated, and history must be respected.
