“上有天堂,下有苏杭”这句久传民间的谚语,使人们仰慕苏州、杭州这样美丽古老的城市。初春时节,本人有幸同市政协城建委员会部分委员参观访问了苏州,得知苏州古城保护工作采取了“另辟新区、保护旧城”的新策,引起了我的极大兴趣。 “There is paradise, there are Suzhou and Hangzhou under the” long-time folk proverbs, so that people admire Suzhou, Hangzhou, a beautiful old city. In the early spring, I was fortunate to have paid a visit to Suzhou with some members of the Urban Construction Committee of the CPPCC. I learned that the new policy of “opening up new districts and protecting the old city” was learned in the protection work of the ancient city of Suzhou, arousing my great interest.
