A painter hired by the demolition authority to paint murals for buildings to be demolished

            49 Huqiu Rd., Shanghai
This is a patch of buildings to be demolished in the heart of Shanghai. All the residents and merchants have been moved out. The original shops along the street have been replaced with walls made of concrete blocks. The local government has hired a group of painters to paint murals on the concrete walls where the shops have been removed. This painter is depicting a view of Shanghai near the buildings to be demolished. The idea of sealing off real but old buildings and replacing them with beautiful landscapes murals to show the beauty of the city is one that has been practised in many parts of Shanghai.
By the way, civil servants working for the district where these buildings are located have not been paid their full salaries for several months now. Yet projects like this still go on.
