When prisoners were released from prison, what they saw was "Jue an", which meant that they were awakened again. Xuanwu District for the protection of cultural relics. The cultural relic was demolished when Caishikou street was built in 1998. Before the demolition, it once attracted the attention of the society, but the fact of demolition proves once again that no cultural relic can stop the intelligent Beijing City builders from building their own new city.
