[quote=LEONARDO,358997]In 2006, there was a public controversy on whether to demolish or preserver Hongtaifang (宏泰坊), an ancient brothel in Changsha, the capital of central China’s Hunan Province. The controversy focuses on if the brothel is historical dross or the nation’s heritage. Anyhow, the local government made the decision to repair the brothel as a historical site. Recently, the local government announced that the Brothel will be open to visitors in April. The brothel, built in 1733 in Jinggang, an ancient boom town in Hunan Province., was a place that ancient women were humiliated and some people indulged in sensual pleasure. Many locals have ever protested the restoration of the brothel, arguing it should be demolished as “it represents the worst aspects of China's former feudal system” and the restoration of the brothel could be seen as promoting prostitution.” Prostitution has been banned in China since 1949, but underground prostitution can still be found in many Chinese cities. What is your view on the restoration of Hongtaifang (宏泰坊), the ancient brothel? Do you think if it has historical value? [/quote]
