Because he wants to keep his house: stubborn Chinese from the Autobahn

Shanghai – There used to be less traffic noise …

If stubbornness had a home, it would be from Huang Ping! The Chinese homeowner steadfastly refused to leave his property – despite compensation and alternative offers.

The result? A motorway now winds directly around its two -story house. Images show the building that stands like a lonely islot in the middle of the construction site – surrounded by high concrete walls. The British agency Jam Press reports.

After that, Huang was offered the equivalent of around 210,000 euros, but he did not find the offer well enough. Now the noise of the construction work shakes his home, and his grandson (11), who lives with him there, flees into the city during the day. So Huang Ping regrets his decision: “If I could turn the time back, I would accept the offer.”

His curious “Nagelhaus” (this is what is called in China Buildings that defend themselves against demolition) has long since become an attraction. Curious tourists pilgrimage to pings at home to take photos.

Can he stay in his house if traffic rolls soon? Questionable. All negotiations with the party committee of the Jinxi district have so far failed.
