Urban renewal is a key component ofChina's current 14th Five-Year Plan, which calls for the renovation【翻修】 nationwide of 219,000 oldresidential communities built before the year 2000.

旧区改造，是“十四五”的重要任务。“十四五”期间，我国将基本完成2000年底前建成的21.9万个城镇老旧小区的改造工作。

Today (January 26) we continue ournew series Happier New Year, with our reporter Zhang Shixuan visiting a familyin Shanghai's Yangpu District to find out what they think of their new home inthe same area on the eve of the Spring Festival.

今天（1月26日）的新春系列节目，我们将走进位于上海市杨浦区的一个家庭，来看看旧改之后，他们觉得新家怎么样。

Just two months ago, Zhang Hongyingmoved to this new apartment with her family, leaving the old lane-stylebuilding in which she had lived for 50 years.

两个月前，张女士一家离开了居住50年的里弄老宅，搬到了新房子。

Zhang's daughter-in-law took mearound their old residential area, all of which is now scheduled forrenovation.

张女士的儿媳带我参观了旧小区。现在，旧小区翻修已经被提上日程。

张女士的儿媳

"We never used to have a flushtoilet. So, we had used a chamber pot, and put the waste in here. It was prettyinconvenient, because it was locked at night, usually from 10 to 6 AM. But inthe new house, we don't have to worry about that." 以前家里面没有抽水马桶的，都要拎痰盂罐到这里倒。晚上10点关门，早上6点开门。新的工房没有后顾之忧了。

They had gotten used to things attheir old home, of course, having lived there for decades, and they know therewill be some changes for this year's Spring Festival.

"The sunlight here is so great.You don't feel cold anymore. We haven't used the air-conditioner【空调】 so far this year. The sunlight comesthrough all the way to the kitchen." 这里光线真的很好，也不冷，今年到现在没开过空调，太阳直接晒到灶头间了。

So, while the big family may havefond memories of their old neighbors, they'll now be able to gather around thetable for their Spring Festival dinner much more comfortably than in the past.And they're far from alone. This year, another 10 million square meters of oldresidential areas will be renovated.
