Zhang Wenxiang, 90, has been living near the Bell Tower in Beijing for nearly 70 years. But now his old house will be demolished due to a road-widening construction project.

Beijing's oldest communities are also the city's most convenient, so Zhang does not want to leave his home for a new building. He spoke about his life over the past decades and all of his good memories.
