It's heartwarming to see people succeeding at refusing to sell their little house to the government (picture from Shanghai) when the government wants to evict them,

although it appears from the story that the pictured agreement was reached only after the old woman poured gasoline on herself.

There's actually a (less visually dramatic) version of this in zhongdian. If I rembmer, I'll take a picture of it and post it here. Have any of you heard of stories like this (or alternatively, stories where the government won?)
