“It`s my property, they must give me compensation.I won`t retreat, and my son will protect the possession in case someone murder me , and I will never suicide , the worst thing is murder “
Yang YouDe , a peasant from Wu Han, the capital city of Hu Bei province.now has a big trouble with local government which almost happens every day in China ,that is DEMOLITION.
As Uncle Yang said , he leased 2.5 hectare farmland for fish farming and crop farming , the contract with local
government is valid until the end of the 2029 year. In this year, more than half of his farmland was taken over
by the local government for a real estate projects. Obviously , real estate is really hot in China and the house
price soared 50% during these 3 years , so they want uncle Yang could agree a transaction with a
compensation of 130977 Yuan ( 19148 USD) . However , Uncle Yang heard from his son that the city
regulation requires 46800 Yuan per mu, so in total should be 1170000 Yuan ( 171052 USD), almost 10 times of the agreement`s amount.
The argument has rumbled on for weeks and the property developers cannot wait for so long time, so there are some rumors that some “ big
shot” would ” do something real ” to force Uncle Yang`s family move out of his farmland.
Yang collected a lot of fireworks and build a fence and watchtower with his family in the farmland .Every day he watch carefully and once there
are some strangers coming, He would climb the watchtower and monitor them with his homemade weapon.He
said that in the first time , there were dozens of men coming with shield, helmet, Interphone and soil shifter ,
to force this old man out of his little farmland , otherwise , they would pull him out and plow up
everything without any lawfully authorized order. Unfortunately this time they were wrong. and completely
underestimated this old man.
Uncle Yang uses the fireworks to make some homemade bomb, rockets and Molotov cocktail. Like a warrior ,
one time against more than 100 men just himself. Every time before he open fire, he would inform his
enemy , ” All I want is keep my property ,I never meant to hurt anyone”
Now this old man still stay at his post , with some medias`report, he got a lot of online supporters. In a , he said on a local television`s
interview that ” I`m a key person in this land transaction, they afraid of me and it`s like a “ Beat the dog before the lion” . If I compromise today,
everyone could be me tomorrow. “
Yang Youde demonstrate his homemade RPG
and it can be surprising that he also made a multiple launch rocker artillery as fellow
when heard this story, I was shocked by this old man`s persistent and dauntless , but now I worry about he and his family`s safty.
Many chinese people called him as “Avatar” , a movie celebrating the local people`s successful efforts to oppose the demolition crews.
In China ,those local people who against to move out always be know as “nail house owner”.
