Create a Shortcut Road to Home, 2 Residents Damage Great Wall of China

Creating a Shortcut to Home, 2 Residents Recklessly Damage the Great Wall of China

Dream - Having an invaluable historical value, everyone will strive to preserve and maintain the world's wonder sites from damage. However, the same spirit is not possessed by two construction workers, Zheng (38) and Wang (55), who were arrested by the police on charges of destroying the Great Wall.

"Shortcut Road"

In the photo released by the Youyu County government, it shows a dirt road penetrating one side of the Great Wall of China. The construction work caused damage to a section of the wall. The mentioned section is estimated to be located at the western end of the wall in Shanxi province, which has been built for 2,000 years.

Seen from its location, the part of the Great Wall of China that is destroyed is situated quite far from the area that is restored in the UNESCO-protected cultural heritage site and frequently visited by tourists. However, as a world wonder, this damage certainly cannot be tolerated.

               

Detained by the Police

Quoting the Metro report, Zheng and Wang created the route because they needed a shorter route to their currently under-construction house. According to the report, both of them are still detained by the police and waiting for further legal actions.

Known, the Great Wall is one of the most iconic and valuable historical buildings in China, even the world. Its construction began around the 7th century BC and its most famous sections were completed during the Ming Dynasty, which lasted between 1368 and 1644.

However, they failed to prevent the overthrow of the Ming Dynasty by attacking the Manchu tribe from the north, who, after conquering the wall, then took over the empire as the Qing Dynasty. In the following years, most of the wall suffered damage, and most of its original stones were stolen by the local residents.

The interest in walls as symbols of patriotism and resistance against external pressures was revived by the communist government of China in the mid-20th century.

The Great Wall of China previously made headlines due to the danger posed by its rocky surface to tourists during the winter season.

"Winter Tragedy"

This is reinforced by the circulation of a video recording showing dozens of tourists slipping and holding hands as they try to cross a road covered in ice. Online rental service Airbnb has also offered environmentally friendly accommodations along the wall as part of an initiative to promote sustainable tourism in China.
