Value use

Original purpose

The construction of "ring of life" project started on April 28, 2011. Since the start of construction, it has been the "favorite" of the media and local government in external publicity. Netizens have been puzzled about what the "ring of life" is for. However, there was no detailed explanation in the media reports, except for "local landmark buildings". On August 10, 2012, Xia Hongjun, deputy secretary of the Party Working Committee of Fushun Economic Development Zone, said: "the ring of life was really a landscape architecture when it was originally designed. With the progress of construction, its role has also been highlighted. In the later stage, on the basis of not changing the original design structure construction, the use function of the "ring of life" was demonstrated and adjusted, and the function of climbing sightseeing was put forward. Four climbing cable ladders were installed under the inner East-West ring, which will rise to the height of 150 meters. Bungee jumping entertainment project was also demonstrated, striving to achieve bungee jumping at the top without deep water below, which is also expected I hope I can do this miracle. "

moral

"The ring of life" is based on the famous works of the sculptor willland. "The ring of life" symbolizes eternity and harmony, and implies happiness, stability and endless life. It embodies the construction concept of "livable, commercial and industrial". According to the article on the website of Fushun Municipal government, "the meaning of the ring of life is to connect the sky and the earth. It is unique in the world in both height and form." While the gate of life attracts attention for Fushun, on Weibo, this huge building with sci-fi color has been questioned because it costs hundreds of millions and has no practical function, and has triggered a PS boom. It is endowed with all kinds of associations: Cosmic portal, heterogeneous portal, entrance for aliens to enter the earth

Hun River is the mother river of Fushun, with a length of 11 km. The difference between the inner and outer radius of the "ring of life" is about 11 meters, which corresponds to the length of Hunhe River. Its building surface area is 22200 square meters, implying 2.22 million Fushun people living on the land of Fushun.

In the daytime, the "ring of life" with metallic luster has a strong sense of the future, which means that Shenfu new city faces the future and is full of heroic spirit; in the night, it is like a full moon and the lake with water scenery, which means that "the moon is born on the sea and the ends of the earth are at the same time", which means that people from home and abroad gather in Shenfu new city to build and share the achievements of new city construction.

For viewing only

At the beginning of the construction of the ring of life, bungee jumping and other entertainment functions were not designed. However, in the process of construction, because some citizens proposed to spend so much money and did not use the functions, it was wasteful, so they proposed to increase bungee jumping projects. However, after expert argumentation, they were denied. Because the limit that the human body can bear is more than 40 meters, and the highest level of the ring of life is more than 150 meters, which is far beyond the limit of the human body, bungee jumping died prematurely.

So far, this huge object with a cost of hundreds of millions only has the function of "viewing".

As for the lack of practicability of the "ring of life", the relevant personnel answered: "there were many kinds of schemes and designs for the landmark buildings in Shenfu new town, and there was also the idea of building the tallest building, but after several rounds of screening and repeated demonstration, the" ring of life "was determined. If the tallest building is built, the scale and development degree of Shenfu new town is far from being able to carry and operate such a high building. If entertainment projects are built, the popularity of the area is still insufficient, and it may be abandoned. Therefore, after the argumentation of experts and scholars, we finally decided to build the circular building as the landmark of the area. "
