The cemetery in London has become a memorial to the city's worse past.

The first red light district in London is located in the south of the Thames, in the marshy soil of the autonomous region called Southwark. There, pubs, theaters, brothels and "entertainment" with bears as bait flourished as popular forms of entertainment in the Middle Ages on the land outside the official city boundaries of London. Nowadays, Nan 'an is famous for its glittering office buildings, well-equipped cocktail bars and food restaurants. Tourists flock to a re-planned power station in the Tate Modern museum to enjoy Shakespeare's works at the Globe Theatre and the reconstruction of Nan 'an. But the dark side of South China's history has also been recognized there, in a small place at the corner of Red Cross Road. Boris Johnson, mayor of London, rusted Winston Churchill's most vulgar famous saying "KDSP", but the iron gate around the cross cemetery was covered with ribbons, feathers, beads and other marks to commemorate the people buried there. In 26, a plaque was added to commemorate the "abandoned dead", which is a more permanent plaque. It is said that it was originally put on the gate by a group of Londoners in 1998. Since then, every year around Halloween, these South China pilgrims will repeat a ritual drama to commemorate those who finally rest on the cross, especially those who were said to have been buried on the cross in the middle ages, and the soldiers who invaded Rome used this area as their base. Brothels have been operating in this area for centuries, and experienced the Viking era and the Crusades. In the 12th century, the construction of the London Permanent Bridge brought a steady stream of Mercer drinks to pubs in this area, which became particularly popular. At that time, Southwark was controlled by Bishop Winchester, one of the oldest, richest and most important parishes in England. Among other powers, the bishop has the right to license and tax the * * * nicknamed "winchester Goose", perhaps because they have the custom of * * * white breasts to attract customers. Being bitten by a Winchester goose is a sexually transmitted disease, probably syphilis or gonorrhea.

the number of brothels in nanhuake is between a few and 18, depending on the year. It is called "stew". Although the royal family tried to close them many times, it survived for centuries. The royal family also tried to control brothels through laws and regulations: in 1161, Henry II made 39 rules, which were called "decrees involving South China stew makers under the guidance of Bishop Winchester". These rules ensure that * * * can come in and out at will, require all new workers to register, restrict their activities in religious festivals, prohibit nuns and married women from participating, prohibit swearing, and prohibit women from taking their lovers away for free. Penalties for the latter include fines, imprisonment, dipping "cucking stool" in untreated sewage and expulsion from South China.

Although Bishop Winchester managed and taxed the * * * in this area, Christianity prevented them from being buried in sacred land. John Stow, a Tudor historian, wrote in his 1598 Visit to London: "I have heard of some ancient men. It is commendable that it is reported that these single women are forbidden to attend church ceremonies. As long as they continue to live a sinful life, if they do not reconcile before their death, they will be excluded from Christian funerals. Therefore, far from the parish church, there is a place designated as the church cemetery for single women.

"The Stews" was closed in the 17th century. By the dawn of Victorian era, Southwark was one of the worst slums in London, which was full of crime and cholera, and even the police were afraid to set foot in it. The cross bone was transformed into a graveyard for the poor, serving the parish of St. S. Later that night, The Mystery of South Wacker was published and performed at Shakespeare's Globe Theatre and South Wacker Cathedral, both of which were not far from where the stew once existed. The mystery of Southwark was also the center of the first Halloween cross ceremony in 1998. For 13 years, until 21, a growing community performed some mysterious stories of Nanhuake around the cross bone, built an altar for the deceased relatives, and joined the candlelight procession at the entrance of the cemetery. This ceremony is now carried out in a simpler form as part of the monthly vigil. The International Workers' Federation even called for the cross bone to be the first world heritage site dedicated to * * *.

Patricia Dark, a historian of Southwark and archivist of Southwark Council, pointed out that the modern memorial ceremony of cross bones is complicated. She pointed out that it is more a theory than a fact to identify the cross bone as a graveyard, which mainly depends on Stowe's assertion in the investigation. However, the cruciform bone has also become a powerful place for people to remember because of its recent history. Nanhuake, once a vibrant riverside community full of manufacturers, docks and warehouses, was emptied in the 196s, when the rise of containers greatly reduced the number of dockers. The reconstruction in the 198s focused on white-collar business, leaving little room for the working-class community in South China. "There are many shiny steel office buildings in this administrative district now," Ducker said. "There are also many high-end places for office workers to have lunch or participate in social activities after work, but few places can support daily community life-this is a bit soulless. ... I think the nature of the cross. . . It's a place where you can celebrate people who no one remembers. I think this will help people remember and make them feel important. In 27,

transport for london, who now owns this website, gave the police access to the gate, where he and other volunteers created a wild garden. Today, an informal group called "Friends of Crossbones" is working hard to ensure the planned redevelopment of the site and make the garden a more permanent place for reflection and commemoration. Although the final lease agreement has not been signed, the South China District Council Community Project Bank has promised to invest 1, pounds to build such a garden, and the London Transport Planning Guide has also promised to "sympathize with its heritage".

This community around Cross Bones is closely watching these developments. Monthly vigils continue to refresh the shrines in the holy land and commemorate the dead there. Some local homeless people have appointed their own gatekeepers to prevent blasphemy. Constable has also developed a series of performances, workshops and walks, which continue to attract participants from London and other places, many of whom choose to remember their dead at the scene. According to constable, the ceremony on the cross is to "heal the wounds of history". In some cases, they may also be an example of today's community trying to heal itself.
