It's been demolished; razed; obliterated. Shanghai Daily might be under the impression that it "form[s] the biggest area of traditional houses remaining in Shanghai,” but all you need to do is walk by and see that there’s nothing remaining (or look at the above photo). Jianyeli isn’t preservation; it’s new construction accessorized with a few old bricks from the 1930s." A commenter on Shanghai Scrap notes that Shanghaiist "totally bit on this story." What? You mean taking stories from Chinese media at face value bites? Yup. </p>
