Zhou Shengrui, former curator of the Minqin County museum, said that a national survey in the 1980s recorded more than 60 kilometers of Great Wall in the county. He reported that this section of the wall was rapidly disappearing. http://www.china.org.cn/english/culture/222479.htm It's very sad that we're losing such famous piece of history.
