House stands in the middle of the road.

A duck farmer in Wenling refused to sell his house to the government so that it could be torn down in order to build a road.  He just finished paying about $95,000 to build his home and the government has only made two offers; one of $35,000 and most recently $41,000.  Both are unacceptable to Luo Baogen and his wife.  They must sleep in two separate parts of the house and someone must remain there 24 hours a day to prevent it from being demolished.  The road has been built around the house but negotiations are ongoing.  house
