    In this Nov. 22, 2012 file photo, people stand near a house sitting in the middle of a new main road on the outskirts of Wenling city in east China's Zhejiang province. Duck farmer Luo Baogen and his wife are the lone holdouts from a neighborhood of once-connected homes that was demolished to make way for the main thoroughfare heading to a newly built railway station. Dramatic images of Luo's home have circulated widely online in China this week, becoming the latest symbol of resistance in the frequent standoffs between Chinese homeowners and local officials accused of offering too little compensation to vacate neighborhoods for major redevelopment projects.
