Sanchahe Village was in complete chaos.
Hordes of villagers blocked the front of Zhang Bin's villa, crying, shouting, and cursing as they faced off against the police and the demolition team.
The police were still yelling, "Folks, what you're doing is against the law! Please back away! This villa doesn't have the proper land permit, which makes it an illegal structure. It must be demolished!"
"A bunch of rabble-rousers! If you don't move, we'll arrest every last one of you! Ten days to half a month in a cell will set you straight. And this villa is still coming down," the demolition team's leader snarled, a vicious grin on his face.
Director Diao from the Land Bureau was the very picture of arrogance. He pointed directly at Zhang Bin's nose and sneered, "A mere farmer daring to defy the government? Are you courting death? You want to hit me? Go on, I dare you. I can see you're nothing but a coward."
