Residentes de una aldea histórica de Hong Kong se quedan sin opciones ante el inminente desalojo

Tin Sam Tsuen, en Hung Shui Kiu, será demolida para el Área de Nuevo Desarrollo de Hung Shui Kiu/Ha Tsuen, dentro del proyecto Metrópolis del Norte. Los residentes aseguran que se han quedado sin opciones.

Tin Sam Tsuen, en el norte de Hong Kong, alberga a unas 50 familias. El pueblo cuenta con casas tradicionales de ladrillo y un salón ancestral, y ha existido durante cientos de años.

Chan Ho-yee, de unos cuarenta años, ha vivido desde que nació en la casa construida por su difunto padre. Asegura que el clan Chan se estableció en la aldea hace más de 360 años.

"En el pasado, durante el Año Nuevo Chino, todos los vecinos visitaban a nuestro abuelo aquí en nuestra casa ancestral", recordó. "Cuando uno de nuestros tíos se casaba, cocinábamos poon choi aquí y celebrábamos un banquete durante tres días", dijo Chan.

El pueblo será demolido para dar paso al Área de Nuevo Desarrollo de Hung Shui Kiu/Ha Tsuen como parte del megaproyecto Metrópolis del Norte.
