【新唐人2011年10月8日讯】北京东南二环内，有座“安化楼”，它曾经是共产主义大楼的样板工程，如今却是斑白老旧、破烂不堪。“安化楼”的存在，它的兴起和衰落，记述了共产党统治中国的荒诞历史。我们来看看安化楼的故事。
北京东南二环内的“安化楼”，诞生于那个高喊“共产主义是天堂，人民公社是桥梁”的年代。半世纪过去了，数十年的老住户则盼望着某天醒来，能听到有关拆迁的消息。
曾经在北京任教的张浚女士表示，共产党的天堂，根本就不存在，可是当时好多人都上当了。
张浚：“共产党说的所谓的人间天堂，实际上就是一个美丽的谎言，其实就是欺骗了中国的老百姓。那时候呢，我正在上小学，当时我印象最深的，有那么一句话，我现在回忆起来，就是（共产党）当时宣扬什么？社会主义是初级阶段，按劳分配﹔共产主义是高级阶段，按需分配。我当时就想，按需分配不错啊！不用劳动，共产主义真跟天堂一样，想吃什么就吃什么，想什么就有什么，所以，当时还真是迷惑了好多中国人。”
当年负责“安化楼”的上海建筑师金诚回忆，当时设计思路是：“大食堂必不可少，各家各户就不用开火做饭了。”所以，大楼的内部设计寄托着设计者们对于“共产主义生活”的期待，本着“大集体、小自由”的原则。然而事实上，对大食堂抱有顿顿吃炖肉的幻想，根本没有实现，谁也吃不饱。
广西自由作家荆楚认为，办大食堂的理想非常荒唐。
广西自由作家：“就是在这个50年代末、60年代初就是办那个大食堂，就是中国老百姓饿死了5千多万，大跃进、人民公社、大食堂、大炼钢铁、给中国造成了很大的灾难。”
在经济严重困难的情况下，安化楼在装潢上也打了折扣。《中国青年报》报导，每户的浴缸并没有安装，原本计划的4部电梯也被减为两部。因为房租较贵，安化楼过了三五年才慢慢住满，而多数的两居室单元都是两家合住，共用一个厕所。直到今天，大楼里好几口人挤在一间房的情况依然可见。
广西自由作家荆楚：“它（中共）就是吹起一个肥皂泡，想给这个意识形态，共产主义的意识形态来贴金。这样子贴金呢，也不能，只可以说最终还是打自己的嘴巴的。所以现在这个事情就变成了不闻不问啦，它们也没有什么资金的注入啦。这样子啦所以他们就过的非常，那种生活环境、生活质量就非常差了。”
2001年，东城区的北官厅大楼在危房改造中被爆破拆除。2003年开始，西城区的福绥境大楼也开始拆迁。《南方周末》在最新一期的内容指安化楼是“最后的共产主义板房”。北京奥运会前，灰白的安化楼还被涂成了粉色。
大半辈子的人生都在安化楼里度过，老住户们却一直困惑，共产主义到底是什么样子？这个天堂，似乎没有存在过。

The Absurdity of the Half-Century Old “Communist Model Building"
In Beijing Erhuan, the An Hua Building was once a CCP model building project, but now it is grizzled, old, and dilapidated. The An Hua Building’s rise and decline has recorded the absurd history of China under CCP’s rule. Here is the story of the An Hua Building.
Located in Erhuan, southeast of Beijing, the An Hua Building was born in the time when people shouted “Communism is paradise, and the people’s commune is the bridge." Half a century later, decades-old residents have been looking forward to hearing the news of the dilapidated building’s demolition.
Miss Zhang Jun used to be a teacher in Beijing. She said that “Communism is paradise” never existed; however, many people were fooled by it.
Zhang Jun said, “The so-called paradise the CCP promised was actually a beautiful lie. In fact, it was to deceive the Chinese. At that time, I was in elementary school. That was the saying which impressed me most. Now I recall what the CCP propagandized. It said that socialism was the primary stage, according to one’s work; communism was the advanced stage, according to one’s need. I thought,”how nice it is to gain according to one’s need.” People didn’t need to work. Communism was really like heaven. You may eat whatever you want, and whatever you thought about, you could obtain. Thus, many Chinese became obsessed at that time.”
Shanghai architect Kim Cheng was in charge of the An Hua Building project. He recalled the train of thought while designing it, “A dining hall is essential, each household would not have to cook." So, the building’s interior design was entrusted to the designers with the expectation of the “communist life" and based on the principal “large group, individual free." But in fact, the fantasy that people went to the dining hall to eat stewed meat for every meal was never achieved. No one ever felt full.
Guangxi freelancer Jing Chu said that the dining hall ideal was very absurd.
Guangxi freelancer Jing Chu said, “ In the late 1950s and early 1960s, the dining hall caused more than 50 million people to starve to death. The Great Leap Forward, the People’s Commune, Dining Hall, and Steel Fever have caused great catastrophes to the Chinese. “
In severe economic difficulties, the interior of the An Hua Building was also compromised. According to “China Youth Daily" magazine, the bathtub was not installed in each unit and the planned four elevators was reduced to two. Due to expensive rent, the “An Hua Building” wasn’t full until 3 or 5 years later. Most two-bedroom units with one toilet was shared by two families. Even today, it still can be seen that a large family squeezed into one room.
Guangxi freelancer Jing Chu said, “It (the CCP) blew a bubble to gild the ideology of communism. But, it could not. Ultimately, it can only slap its mouth. Thus, the CCP becomes indifferent to things (the Communist Model Building), and it didn’t inject any capital. Therefore, the residents live in poor conditions. Their quality of life is very low.”
In 2001, the Bei Guan Ting Building in Dongcheng District was demolished by explosion. The Fu Sui Jing building in Xicheng District was also demolished. “Southern Weekend" cited that the An Hua Building is “the last communist sample building" in the latest issue. Before the Beijing Olympics, the gray “An Hua Building” was painted a pink color.
Spending most of their lives in the An Hua Building, many old residents have wondered: What is Communism after all? The “paradise” never existed.
