A Building In The Middle Of A Road

The house was built in Wenling in China where officials have knocked down a neighbourhood to make room for a motorway.

The couple that was living there refused to move after saying they weren't offered enough money to go.
A man named Luo Baogen said "I just want them to build me a new house" "They can build me the same size somewhere else and decorate it for me"

The money that Mr Luo got is less than what he payed when he got the house. He told  local reporters his electricity and water supply are flowing. He also said that his wife has to sleep in separate rooms so people don't knock down the other side of the house.

The road has not let traffic through yet. In China situations like this aren't common. The city is redoing the road and they are building a train station, businesses, hotels, shopping malls and factories.
