Strongest nail house owner in China: Man refuses to accept compensation and leave his house, so an entire highway was built around it

In an extraordinary display of stubbornness, a significant Chinese grandfather Huang Ping has now found himself actually living in the middle of a quite newly constructed motorway after he refused multiple compensation offers from the local authorities. According to Metro, the house which is located southwest of Shanghai in Jinxi, the two-story house of Huang Ping now sits surrounded by a highway infrastructure while earning him the renowned local title of the ‘strongest nail house owner’.

Metro reported that the Chinese government initially offered Chinese grandfather Huang Ping near about £178,245 and three alternative properties which he repeatedly rejected. Thus as a result, workers were actually forced to build the motorway around his residence while creating a unique architectural anomaly.

Chinese grandfather Huang Ping now shares the home with his 11 year old grandson while spending a significant and huge amount of time in the town center to avoid all sorts of construction noise.


Reflecting on his initial decision, Chinese grandfather Huang Ping recently expressed severe regret while stating that ‘If I could turn back time, I would agree to the demolition conditions’, asserted Metro. Additionally, he now fears the constant noise once the road becomes operational in spring.

Local residents have been extremely fascinated by his situation while flocking to photograph the ‘nail house’ which is a term describing properties that still remain strongly standing amidst large scale developments, noted Metro.
