A village chief Chen Xuecai has said a man named Luo Baogen ,aged 67 who has refused to sell his home to the Chinese Government to make room for a HWY has finally agreed to sell and the 5 story home was leveled on Saturday.The house was in the middle of the HWY.
According to the Huffington Post Luo Baogen and his wife had been the lone holdouts from a neighborhood that was demolished to make way for the main thoroughfare heading to a newly built railway station on the outskirts of the city of Wenling in Zhejiang province.
The razing comes a week after images of the house circulated widely online in China, triggering a flurry of domestic and foreign media reports about the latest “nail house,” as buildings that remain standing as their owners resist development are called.
