Photos: The innocent victims of China’s massive building boom The Chinese village of Yangji is being swallowed up by rapidly expanding Guangzhou, China’s third-largest city with a population of over 12 million. The houses in the village are being razed to make room for the urban development of the city. When the demolition workers moved into her neighborhood, Huang Sufang was convinced her home was safe — it wasn’t marked for removal, after all. But, as the bulldozing continued, a part of her house was mistakenly demolished. The desperate woman mounted a futile last stand, threatening workers with bricks from the rubble of her own home, and finally crumbled in tears. (Reuters)
