On Saturday, December 1, 2012, excavators are used to demolish Baogen's house in Wenling.
The former home of duck farmer Luo Baogen comes down under the arm of an excavator, in Zhejiang province, on December 1, 2012. Luo's house was the only building left standing on the road, which was paved through the village.
Excavators are used to demolish a house standing alone in the middle of a newly built road in Wenling, China, on December 1, 2012. Luo Baogen, the owner of the house, who earlier refused to sign an agreement to allow his house to be demolished, finally signed the agreement after discussions with the local government and his relatives. The demolition of the house started this Saturday, local media reported.
An ancestral grave stands in the middle of a building site - because the family of the deceased refuse to let it be moved.
The single gravestone has bizarrely been left on top of a ten metre high mound while workers erect a high-end block of flats around it in Taiyuan, capital of northern China's Shanxi Province.
The tomb is the ancestral grave of a villager from nearby Longbao whose family is unhappy with the level of relocation compensation that has been offered.
The owner of the tomb, which has been in place since 2004, said the family wants answers from the developers about why they chose that particular site.
Despite the obvious grave work on the building, which is expected to be finished by April 2013, seems to have carried on regardless.
Builders have dug the foundations leaving the grave perched on top of a ten square metre island.
Taiyuan is home to more than four million people and is classed as one of the great industrial cities of China.
It has seen significant expansion as attempts to transform itself into a 'regional modern metropolis with international influence.'
The news comes after a Chinese elderly couple were left living in a building in the middle of a motorway because they refused to relocate.
Luo Baogen and his wife say the compensation money offered by the government to move from their home in the city of Wenling, in Zhejiang province, is not enough.
Property owners in China that refuse to move to make way for development are known as 'Nail Householders' referring to a stubborn nail that is not easy to remove from a piece of old wood and cannot be pulled out with a hammer.
