The song "Rehe" made a wall on Nanjing's Rehe Road an "Internet celebrity". Many tourists came here to express their feelings and leave messages. According to the urban management department, the contents of the messages were mixed.

The "graffiti wall" on Rehe Road has previously become an emotional carrier for Li Zhi's fans, and the content on the wall is more like a collective creation. On the wall, there are either heartfelt words of love or cute paintings. What is sad is that in recent days, the graffiti on the walls has suddenly been "erased" and replaced by gray and monotonous walls.

Xu Xiran, a member of the Urban Management Squadron of Xiaguan Street, Gulou District, Nanjing City, said that according to Article 19 of the Jiangsu Provincial Urban Appearance and Urban Sanitation Management Regulations, no one is allowed to graffiti on the wall or pollute the wall. Therefore, the above-mentioned graffiti walls must be cleaned according to regulations. Moreover, the wall is also the new site of a local primary school. Xu Xiran said that from this perspective, in order to purify the world of primary school students, "graffiti walls cannot be preserved." Therefore, the next step is for the urban management department to cover the walls with public service advertisements.
