Here's the Chinese Google News search for Xu Yuanzhang's name, see if any articles appear closer to the proposed eviction date: http://news.google.cn/news?hl=zh-CN&ned=ccn&q=%E5%BE%90%E5%85%83%E7%AB%A0&ie=UTF-8&scoring=n

How do you figure that? The property has been apparently been sold for a third of the appraised value of 26mio USD -- or approx 64mio RMB. With 13 heirs then he'd be entitled to ~5mio RMB. If the house was sold for the appraised value he should get 15mio RMB. Personally I think this guy is a getting a raw deal!

Respect is something earned, not automatically given. And in this case the guy certainly doesn't seem to deserve it.

That's horrible!! I don't care about the politics but he should just get the place because he's old. "respect your elders." :)

I want to buy that place and protect it. How does that happen?
