Couple’s house torn down after three-year standoff
Wu Ping and Yang Wu have been fighting off bulldozers in downtown Chongqing since 2004, when they were one of 280 households asked to make way for a redevelopment project in the booming southwestern city of nearly 28 million.
Their two-story brick building was clawed into dust by an earth mover as a few dozen reporters and people looked on late Monday night, according to one witness, Zhou Shuguang.
