Everybody Yang Wu Tonight


http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2007-03/23/content_835341.htm

Right in the middle of an excavated construction pit near the light rail station Yangjiaping in Southwest China's Chongqing Municipality stands lonely a two-storied brick building, whose pictures have been widely spread on the web forums, and has in turn caught national attention beyond the Internet.

It was hailed as the "coolest nail household in history" since the owner, a couple named Yang Wu and Wu Ping, have refused to move out and make way for a local real estate company despite the fact that all their neighbors have given in and the court has ruled a deadline of March 22 for them to tear it down.

On the afternoon of March 21, Yang Wu, a local Kungfu contest champion, managed to return to the isolated house by building some instant staircases with his nunchakus from the bottom of the over ten-meter-deep construction site, demonstrating his determination to stay.

GO YANG!!!
