A bulldozer demolishes1 the "nail house" in the center of a 10-meter-deep pit dug by the real estate developer in Southwest China's Chongqing Municipality on the evening of April 2, 2007. Wu Ping and Yang Wu, the owner of the only two-story brick building, left their house on Monday afternoon after reaching an agreement over the compensation with the developer through six times of mediation2 of local court, local media reported. Their former 219-square-meter house has been dubbed3 the "nail house" because it refused to be hammered down. The duo have been fighting off bulldozers there since 2004, when developers pleaded with them and another 280 households to make way for a shopping mall.
