No one would have known that there are private houses overhead, if not for the residents of nearby high-rises and all this in the center of the metropolis of China
Ask any Russian which country has the most population, and he will not hesitate to answer that in China. There is clearly not enough land for everyone, especially since a significant part of the country is occupied by mountains. Therefore, it was not surprising for me to find a very interesting quarter, consisting of four houses, even, more precisely, villas, which are located in the very center of Zhuzhou city. The villas are located at a fairly large distance from each other, surrounded by green lawns.
What is - you say - the author is talking? Either there is not enough land, then lawns?
Not at all. The fact is that these houses are built on the roof of a shopping center and their owners are completely cut off from pesky neighbors. No one would have known that there are private houses overhead, if not for the residents of nearby high-rises, who, of course, are interested in the life of such happy neighbors.
The five-storey shopping center and its "roof" were built at the same time, so all structures allow you to carry not only houses with their inhabitants, but also lawns, flower beds, fountains. When someone tried to doubt this, the owners of the shopping center immediately provided permits and design solutions. According to them, initially this quarter was planned as the office of a certain company, and was intended for 160 staff. But later the houses were sold to private hands.
I can imagine a tired Chinese businessman taking a high-speed elevator to the roof shopping center, enters his house, goes out onto the balcony and sees an endless sea of lights of 4 million cities. Moreover, he has only 3 neighbors who feel as unique as he does. How beautiful it is, just a dream ...
I think that in our time the owners fly to their homes by helicopters, they can't push them in the elevators of the shopping center. I wonder if they read Astrid Lindgren's tales about Carlson? I think this is their reference book!
