훙슈이키우의 틴삼취엔 마을이 '노던 메트로폴리스' 프로젝트의 일환인 훙슈이키우/하취엔 신개발 구역 조성을 위해 철거될 예정이다. 주민들은 이제 더 이상 물러설 곳이 없다고 호소한다.
홍콩 북부에 위치한 틴삼취엔에는 약 50가구가 거주하고 있다. 이 마을은 수백 년의 역사를 간직한 전통 벽돌집들과 사당으로 이루어져 있다.
40대인 찬호이 씨는 태어날 때부터 작고한 아버지가 지은 집에서 살아왔다. 그녀는 찬 가문이 이 마을에 정착한 지 360년이 넘었다고 말했다.
그녀는 "과거 설날이 되면 모든 이웃이 우리 사당에 있는 할아버지 댁을 방문하곤 했다"고 회상했다. 또한 "삼촌 중 한 분이 결혼했을 때는 이곳에서 푼초이를 요리해 3일 동안 잔치를 열기도 했다"고 덧붙였다.
