拆迁是什么？

chāi qiān | shì | shén me？

What is demolition and relocation?

这是中国在几十年高速发展中的热词，

zhè | shì | Zhōng guó | zài | jǐ shí nián | gāo sù | fā zhǎn | zhōng | de | rè cí，

This is a buzzword during China's decades of rapid development.

政府在一个区域规划了建设项目，

zhèng fǔ | zài | yī gè | qū yù | guī huà | le | jiàn shè | xiàng mù，

The government plans a construction project in a certain area.

然后把这里的居民迁走，

rán hòu | bǎ | zhè lǐ | de | jū mín | qiān zǒu，

Then it relocates the residents living there.

房屋拆掉，

fáng wū | chāi diào，

and demolishes the houses.

重新修建新的项目。

chóng xīn | xiū jiàn | xīn | de | xiàng mù。

to rebuild new projects.

那么原来的居民会得到一笔可观的回报，

nà me | yuán lái | de | jū mín | huì | dé dào | yī bǐ | kě guān | de | huí bào，

In that case, the original residents will receive a considerable reward.

比如送给你几套房，

bǐ rú | sòng gěi | nǐ | jǐ tào | fáng，

For example, being given several apartments.

或者补偿你一大笔钱，

huò zhě | bǔ cháng | nǐ | yī dà bǐ | qián，

or being compensated with a large sum of money.

或者给你几套房加一大笔钱。

huò zhě | gěi | nǐ | jǐ tào | fáng | jiā | yī dà bǐ | qián。

or getting both several apartments and a large sum of money.

当然，也有不愿意搬走的，

dāng rán | yě | yǒu | bù | yuàn yì | bān zǒu | de，

Of course, there are also those who are unwilling to move.

多数是为了索要更多的赔偿，

duō shù | shì | wèi le | suǒ yào | gèng duō | de | péi cháng，

Most of them want to claim more compensation.

通常会通过多轮的谈判和协商，

tōng cháng | huì | tōng guò | duō lún | de | tán pàn | hé | xié shāng，

Usually, through multiple rounds of negotiations and consultations,

最终搬迁。

zuì zhōng | bān qiān。

they will eventually relocate.

因为这几十年中国的城市化发展太快，

yīn wèi | zhè | jǐ shí nián | Zhōng guó | de | chéng shì huà | fā zhǎn | tài | kuài，

Because China's urbanization has developed too rapidly in these decades,

所以造就了非常多的拆迁户，

suǒ yǐ | zào jiù | le | fēi cháng | duō | de | chāi qiān hù，

it has created a large number of relocated households.

也就是被迁移了、获得了高额补偿的人。

yě | jiù | shì | bèi | qiān yí | le | huò dé | le | gāo é | bǔ cháng | de | rén。

that is, people who have been relocated and received high compensation.

这些人可能一夜之间就获得了财富自由，

zhè xiē | rén | kě néng | yī yè | zhī jiān | jiù | huò dé | le | cái fù | zì yóu，

These people may achieve financial freedom overnight.

一辈子可以躺平了，

yī bèi zi | kě yǐ | tǎng píng | le，

and can live a laid - back life for the rest of their lives.

再也不用为钱发愁。

zài | yě | bù | yòng | wèi | qián | fā chóu。

They no longer have to worry about money.

当然，也有很多的人

dāng rán | yě | yǒu | hěn | duō | de | rén

Of course, there are also many people

很快就把这笔钱挥霍光了。

hěn | kuài | jiù | bǎ | zhè bǐ | qián | huī huò | guāng | le。

who quickly squander this sum of money.

我的一个远房亲戚，

wǒ | de | yī gè | yuǎn fáng | qīn qi，

A distant relative of mine

就是在成都的拆迁中，

jiù | shì | zài | Chéng dū | de | chāi qiān | zhōng，

was involved in a demolition and relocation project in Chengdu.

哥俩两家人一共获得了近千万人民币，

gē liǎ | liǎng | jiā rén | yī gòng | huò dé | le | jìn | qiān wàn | rén mín bì，

Two families of the two brothers got nearly ten million yuan in total.
