Essay about fences: a city with fences everywhere

I don’t know when, two fences about half a person’s height were erected on the road near my home, separating the motor vehicle lanes from the non-motor vehicle lanes. In addition, the original fences on both sides of the road The fence between the sidewalk and the road, there are four fences on one road. Needless to say, it is for safety, but more precisely for the safety of the general public. Well, for the sake of safety, the government is thoughtful and meticulous and spares no expense. When you think about it, the government spends a lot of money on the roads. The fences are all made of steel, with regular density, stainless steel, or painted materials. In short, they are grand and beautiful.

However, the small road is narrowly divided by fences, which always feels funny. Putting aside the beautiful, practical, convenient and safe roads, how much money does the government have to spend and how much steel is consumed?

One road and four fences. How many roads are there in a city? In total, tens of thousands of kilometers, hundreds of thousands of kilometers? Our city is just a fence on the road. How many times can it circle the earth? How many times is it worth? What a Great Wall! Has anyone calculated how much steel and how much money it will cost? Fortunately, our government has plenty of money, and our steel production is also great. It is no longer like the big steel smelting, which was done by smashing pots and sinking pots. But after all, steel consumes a lot of energy and carbon. Nowadays, low-carbon life is promoted, but high carbon is used to maintain road safety. It’s a shame for the old man to do it.

When it comes to safety, that’s for sure, but it seems sufficient and unnecessary. The fence blocks cars from occupying the road and pedestrians from jaywalking, but are there so many drivers and pedestrians focused on breaking the law? Those who insist on jaywalking can still cross. When solving math problems in school, we look for necessary and sufficient conditions. When we are working, why don’t we consider the necessary and sufficient conditions when solving practical problems? Do we need so much unnecessary expenditure? I haven’t seen our propaganda leaders pretending to do so. With the reputation of being uncivilized and unsightly, like urban psoriasis, hanging slogans and promotional materials everywhere, are they educating and warning the people?

Not only our roads, but also the parks. City parks are free, but There are still fences and iron gates, and there are still security guards who open and close doors. There are still high steel fences, some even with spikes and electric wires. There are inner and outer layers surrounding the place. The outer layer is to prevent people from entering and exiting at will, and the inner layer is Protect the grass, protect the trees. Everything is for safety and to protect public facilities. However, when the restaurant closes at six or seven in the evening, the old man still has to walk and the aunt still has to dance in the square. Whenever I see the conscientious park security guard holding the lock and calling the old people who have no leisure time to leave the park, I think, it is free, why do they have to open and close the door, and set up fence gates, for fear of damage? Afraid of accidents? The environment is beautiful. The Yanzhong Green Space, the People's Square Green Space, and the newly built Riverside Green Space are unobstructed and open day and night. Could it be that they have been ruined to a great extent and caused one disaster after another?

When it comes to the origin of the fence, I can't According to research, there may not be any experts who can study the history of fences. I think maybe the fence is twinned with the wall. Fences block people, and fences should block animals, but they are all meant to protect one's own or the collective's life, property, belongings, and privacy. Since ancient times, when wealthy people build their houses, they have to build high walls, exquisite fences, and strong gates. No matter how rich you are, life is precious, and you are afraid of being robbed, afraid of someone seeking money and killing yourself, and afraid that your privacy will be leaked. Ordinary people, especially farmers, barely built a house. If they had no financial resources, they could only build a fence with trees. Although there was no property for people to steal, the livestock needed to be fenced and the wild beasts needed to be guarded against. Private ownership society is like this.

Nowadays, every inch of land in the city is like gold. There are probably fewer private houses built with walls, trees and fences. There are still many high-walled compounds that have been preserved. The safety and security within the high walls are all mysterious. Whether an extraordinary person steals, robs or kills has nothing to do with the people. In modern residential complexes, the more upscale they are, the more majestic the walls and fences are, the security is more responsible, and the owners feel more secure. Only the old community, a community for lower-class civilians, is in shabby condition, with walls and fences that are in vain. Entry and exit through the gate are more casual and free, but it is not said to be unsafe than luxury communities.

Strict precautions should be taken in factories, warehouses, departments, and institutions. department. Economic departments and government agencies have gone to sea. There are state-owned collective entities, companies, factories, and stores. Anyone with operations or property must be on guard against property and property being lost, stolen, or damaged, so a circle must be formed. , build solid walls, fences, gates and set up guards.

The walls, fences, and gates of the government and various government agencies are all so high, large, and high. From villages and towns to provincial headquarters, the walls and fences of various agencies and departments are all so majestic and majestic. With layers of security and even armed police standing guard with live ammunition, it makes people shudder, discourage, and frighten. Who can come to destroy, steal, make trouble, or make trouble for nothing? The power department, in some people's minds, is not a place for fun, and power cannot be exercised without some dignity. Times have progressed, and the old yamen need to be upgraded.

Now, in addition to commercial street stores, our cities include our residential areas, roads, factories, public service agencies, public entertainment and leisure, public green spaces, etc., there are also Which ones have not built walls and fences?

In fact, a gentleman does not need to guard against them, but a villain cannot. Walls and fences can only play a limited role.

In the past two years, I heard that the central government issued a document to open closed communities, requiring that completed residential communities and work compounds be gradually opened. The "unit compound" is the government department, and "opening" means removing the walls and fences. Last year, Qingfeng County in Henan Province took the lead in the implementation. It took the lead in demolishing the gates and walls of government office buildings, demolishing the gates and walls of many administrative units, and opening up green spaces and garden corridors, allowing surrounding residents to enjoy high-quality public facilities* ** environment, everyone in the crowd applauded. As early as the following article, Lankao, where Jiao Yulu worked, had opened the government compound. But even though there was a leader, there was no follow-up. It is said that the compound is being opened gradually? It has been more than two years since I heard any news about the compound being opened or the walls being torn down. These institutions in our city are still heavily guarded and guarded. There are a lot of controversies and great difficulties in the transformation of residential areas from closed to open. After all, it involves the rights and safety of the owners, which the people cannot understand at once. And there should not be too many reasons for the opening of the walls of government agencies, and besides, it is from the central government. Require. So what is the reason for the delay? Confidentiality, security? Interference, influence?

In fact, our government, which serves the people, is an open, fair and just government. The secrets it possesses, It's much less than other governments. Of course, I won't talk about it privately. U.S. imperialism, for example, infiltrates and interferes in all countries in the world in politics, economy, and military affairs, and also engages in conspiracy and conspiracy against the people. There are so many ulterior secrets and secrets. But the White House is still open, the state, county and city governments are still open, and why can't we open it?

To put it bluntly, to put it bluntly, this is not something that ordinary people like me should worry about. The nagging one. But I always feel that our city is full of fences and walls, which makes it uncomfortable and uncomfortable to look at. It feels like you are wearing a layer of self-defense mesh armor day and night when there is nothing wrong.
