PEOPLE BEING PEOPLE

A couple's home in eastern China has been turned into a roundabout after a road was built around it, when they refused to move out. Luo Baogen and his wife are the only residents left in a neighbourhood of once-connected homes that was demolished to make way for a major road. The thoroughfare leads to a newly built railway station on the outskirts of the city of Wenling in Zhejiang province. Mr Baogen said the house cost 600,000 Yuan (around £60,000) to build, but the authorities have offered substantially less to relocate him.
