This shows the two different sides of Beijing; the traditional Hutongs, in the process of being destroyed, watched over by the brand new buildings that are taking their place. It is important to note, that even though peoples homes are being destroyed, they are relatively comfortable in other areas of life. A look at the cars in the foreground of this picture tells its own story; the owners of these cars likely live, or lived, in the Hutongs that are being dismantled here.
