More families  bid farewell to their homes at the historical Zhangyuan, a well-preserved shikumen community in Jing’an District last weekend. Shine photographer Wang Rongjiang documented the moments with bittersweet tears.

Most will be gone by March 8, then restoration will begin. Most historic buildings will be retained, becoming boutique hotels, galleries and cultural venues.
