Why Shanghai's Street Sculpture is Grayheaded

Recently, the netizen “shepherd boy Chenqu” reported to Weibo on Xinmin.com that many of the city’s sculptures in the streets “had a poor living environment”. "Some are defiled by garbage, and some are surrounded by drying objects."

There is a “Folk Culture Street” on Beishui Road. There is a city sculpture “Laundrywoman” on the street. The reporter saw that the washerwoman sat in a chair and in front of the washbasin, I do not know when the accumulated dirty water floated leaves. In addition, it has also been treated as a "garbage pot" by individual tourists - napkins filled with orange peel, coke bottles, and paper pulp.

There is an artist's sculpture at Wuding Road, Jiangsu Road. The sculpture is air-dryed so that it is hard to be seen. It is surrounded by a row of t-shirts, panties, and skirts that are washed in the sun. If you want to watch sculptures, Can only be approached from the side or around the back. The reporter also found out that there is a garage for repairs, tires and other debris piled around the sculpture, extremely unsightly.

A sculpture located near Xikang Road, Changping Road, is quite “marginal”. I saw a young man taking off his shoes, sitting on a sculpture and cutting his nails.

In a group of sculptures on Dingxi Road, the little girl stood behind a chair and watched a teacher read a book. A focused, playful, but pity white sculpture was sunburned and covered with weeds. The open book was thick and thick. Layer "black mud".

In response, netizens appealed that urban sculpture should be rejuvenated. It is inseparable from the daily maintenance of the relevant parties and the care and love of the citizens. It is hoped that such a scene of dilapidation will only be “in the moment”.
