Original title: netizens' suggestions come true, and it's hard to hide my joy in writing poems. The bell tower of Linjiang Avenue has been revived
After many years, the clock on the Centennial Bell Tower of Linjiang Avenue in Wuchang District was repaired again, and the sound of the time was sounded on time. On the 22nd, Xia bangping, a resident of Junyuan community in LANWAN, was pleased to tell Changjiang. Com that the clock on the bell tower rang again, and the residents around were very happy. Thanks to the continuous reports of Changjiang Daily, and the voice of paying attention to netizens from Wuhan City message board of Changjiang network and the administrative units, let the Centennial Bell ring again. '
A message brings the restoration of the clock tower on the agenda
The bell tower, the former office building of Wuchang No.1 Cotton Mill, was built in 1919. It was designed by the famous Jingming foreign company and built by the Han Xiesheng construction factory. It is a 3-storey mixed structure, which looks like a 'New Baroque' building. It was listed as a cultural relic protection unit in Hubei Province in 2008. The bell tower witnessed the development of modern national enterprises in Wuhan, and is the epitome of Wuhan and even Hubei Textile Industry. In November this year, the former site of Wuchang No.1 Cotton Mill office building, the former site of Hankou electric light company, the former site of Pinghe packing plant, the former site of Hankou pinghan Railway Bureau, and the former site of British American Tobacco Company were named "five new Jincheng City landmarks".
On August 4, this year, netizen Xia bangping left a message on the message board of Wuhan City, hoping to repair the Centennial Bell Tower and echo the bell tower of jianghanguan on the other side of the Yangtze River. The clock tower has been out of service for more than ten years, which has greatly affected the image of the main axis of the Yangtze River. It is suggested that the government should make up its mind to solve this problem. 'in 2005, the clock was struck by lightning and stopped,' Xia said. After that, the movement of the clock disappeared and the tower fell into a long silence;. '
Xia bangping's message put the restoration of the Centennial clock tower back on the agenda. However, due to the problems of property rights and funds, the process of repairing the bell tower is full of twists and turns.
According to the relevant person in charge of Wuchang District Culture and Tourism Bureau, the former office building of Wuchang No.1 Cotton Mill is a cultural relic protection unit in Hubei Province, and its assets are owned by the state, but not directly managed by the state. It belongs to non-state-owned and immovable cultural relics. According to the relevant provisions of the law on the protection of cultural relics, the bell tower on Linjiang Avenue should be maintained by the owners and users.
After taking over the bell tower, Wuhan Construction Engineering Fuqiang Real Estate Co., Ltd., the owner of the clock tower, entrusted the management of the clock tower to the property company. Around 2008, the property owner removed the movement and the weight of the bell tower. It has been more than ten years and I don't know if I can get them back.
The continuous reports of Changjiang Daily also caused heated discussion among netizens and experts. Zhu Hanchang, an old man who used to guard the clock tower for 18 years and is now 70 years old, also called Changjiang Daily to enter the clock tower again with reporters. In the dust laden machine room, Zhu Hanchang told reporters the story of 18 years of guarding the clock.
The culture and tourism department and the owner have discussed and promoted many times
On the afternoon of 22nd, the relevant responsible person of Wuchang District Culture and Tourism Bureau told changjiang.com that the Centennial Bell Tower of Linjiang Avenue echoes the bell tower of jianghanguan across the river. It is also a cultural relic protection unit in Hubei Province. Citizens appeal on the city message board to let the bell tower "revive" and reproduce its former style. This is a good thing for Wuhan to enhance its image. After that, the district culture and Tourism Bureau actively communicated and coordinated with Wuhan Jiangong Fuqiang Real Estate Co., Ltd., the owner of the bell tower. After many discussions on the two sets of plans put forward by the maintenance enterprises, the restoration plan was finally determined.
It is understood that a total of 180000 yuan was spent on the restoration of the bell tower. The culture and Tourism Bureau of Wuchang District appropriated 30000 yuan as a special fund, and the remaining 150000 yuan was contributed by Wuhan Construction Engineering Fuqiang Real Estate Co., Ltd.
Wuhan Construction Industry Fuqiang Real Estate Co., Ltd. relevant person in charge said that since netizens left messages and the Yangtze River Daily carried out continuous reports, they attached great importance to it and have been following up the matter. "After all, the Centennial Bell Tower bears the history, is located in the prominent position of Wuchang river beach, and is also a new landmark of the city. Our company is a state-owned enterprise and should embody our responsibilities and responsibilities.
The person in charge said: "we have always maintained a pleasant communication with the culture and Tourism Bureau of Wuchang District. We have also held meetings with the residents of Junyuan community in LANWAN to discuss and jointly promote the clock repair. '
Many years of wishes come true, and the citizens write poems to express their feelings
On the evening of the 22nd, the reporter of Changjiang net contacted Yantai durable Watch Group Co., Ltd., the maintenance unit of the clock tower. According to the relevant person in charge of the company, under the strict supervision of the culture and Tourism Bureau of Wuchang District, the owner of Wuhan Construction Engineering Fuqiang Real Estate Co., Ltd., and the current user of the clock tower, after the scheme was finally finalized, a set of electronic clocks for the bell tower was made.
"This set of electronic clock uses the most advanced equipment and technology in China. It took us more than a month to make it in Yantai, and then it was transported to Wuhan and installed on the clock tower. "The person in charge said," our company provides lifelong maintenance, which can ensure the normal operation of the clock tower for a long time. '
At present, every day at 12:00 and 18:00, the bell tower will ring the "Westminster" time song on time, then the loud bell will ring, and finally there will be Mandarin voice time. The Bureau of culture and tourism of Wuchang District, as well as the owner's unit, said that at present, there are only two times to report the time on time. In the later stage, residents' opinions will be collected and the time period for reporting the time will be increased.
Xia bangping said that when the bell rings again over the vast Yangtze River, everyone is extremely excited, and many residents can not help writing poems to express their feelings. Xia bangping also specially wrote a poem to express his joy: "the vast Yangtze River rings your hearty bell again / one, one, one more / boatman and tourists passing by / please tell me / this once familiar bell / does it remind you of the past / and those old friends / please slow down the boat / let the bell go through time and space / take you back to Wuchang City in memory!"
Xia bangping said that since he moved into LANWAN Junyuan community, residents have been looking forward to the bell tower ringing again. He repeatedly appealed on the Wuhan City message board of changjiang.com. Now, the bell of the Centennial Bell Tower rings again, and the wishes of the people for many years have come true. Xia bangping once again entered the Wuhan City message board of Yangtze River Network and expressed his gratitude to the handling units.
