The protection and restoration of old houses revitalizes the historic district

In the relevant study content for the opening year of the "15th FiveYear Plan," the article focuses on General Secretary Xi Jinping's important statements on the view of political performance and bringing benefits to the people, and takes the protection of Fuzhou's ancient residences as an example to explain how historical and cultural heritage can sustain its vitality through protection. In the early 1990s, Xi Jinping, then Secretary of the Fuzhou Municipal Party Committee, learned that Lin Juemin's former residence was facing demolition and promptly halted the relocation and demolition, while promoting work on cultural relic protection, restoration, and utilization. Starting from this, the protection of the historical and cultural district of Sanfang Qixiang gradually unfolded, and Fuzhou thus preserved a relatively complete historical memory. The article also mentions that on March 24, 2021, Xi Jinping once again visited Sanfang Qixiang to learn about the protection and restoration of Fuzhou's ancient residences and the district. As the protection concept has shifted from "preserving it" to "bringing it to life," this historical and cultural district, as a living heritage, continues to show new vitality.
