Henan’s “nail households” refused 100 million in demolition funds and claimed that they would not agree even if they were offered 8.8 billion. What’s the outcome?

Demolition can allow more brand-new high-rise buildings to appear on urban land, and can also promote social prosperity, development and progress. However, not everyone will cooperate with demolition. On the contrary, if there is demolition, there will be resistance. When demolitions are carried out in many places, a group of stubborn households will emerge and act against real estate developers. In fact, there are various reasons why they oppose demolition, which vary from person to person.

Some people resist demolition because they want to make more money and gain more benefits from the demolition. This reason seems a bit pale and selfish, because their selfish desires hinder the development process of society. It should be despised; there are also some people who are unwilling to demolish because there are some very precious things in their own old houses that cannot be moved, so after careful consideration, they hope not to move, hoping to protect the family legacy. Precious cultural relics. For example, Mr. Ren from Henan became a "nail household" out of this kind of thinking.

In 2007, a developer in Zhengzhou, Henan, took a fancy to a piece of land and wanted to give residents in this area demolition money so that they could move out and then he could carry out large-scale construction and put the land into use. However, one of these residents, Mr. Ren, was very stubborn. Not only did he reject the demolition proposal, but he was not moved even when the developer offered to give him 100 million yuan in demolition funds. When calculating the price unit, I would be speechless, my heartbeat would be racing, and I would even want to hand over the money and deliver the goods quickly. Why can Mr. Ren remain so calm, like a billionaire? He even threatened that he would not agree to it even if he was given 8.8 billion. His words were so decisive and exaggerated that the developer knew that he and he would never be able to reach an agreement.

Mr. Ren became a house owner and was reluctant to move out, not because his family was well off and wealthy, but because it was the inheritance of his ancestors. It was built during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty and went through many dynasties. From the Qing Empire to the Republic of China, from the Long March of the Red Army to the War of Liberation, it miraculously withstood all wars and was not invaded or destroyed. Mr. Ren is its fifth generation heir, and he knows the importance of this house. , not ordinary houses can be compared, so if he sells this house and lets it be demolished, what will be destroyed is the historical memory of his family and the wonderful Feng Shui passed down from his ancestors. Moreover, the Ren family was once prosperous, so in this house, all the wood used for building the house were rosewood, camphor wood and other high-quality materials. The words on the plaque on the front door were written by the emperor himself, and the house was full of glory, so it was full of glory. Vast historical and cultural value.

After hearing about Mr. Ren’s insistence on protecting the house, the state also believed that this ancient house had a high historical value and could not be demolished at will, so it declared the house for cultural relic protection. From then on, it It becomes an old house protected by law and will never face the tragic fate of being demolished again.
