Upon hearing this, Gu Nuan couldn't help but become curious. How come this village could simply refuse to sell its land when others couldn't? If that were truly possible, there wouldn't have been so many notorious forced demolitions across the country.
Indeed, think about it, the village's geographical location meant that the coastal road should have been built right through the middle of it, but somehow, it was rerouted to bypass the village entirely, turning what should have been a direct route to the city into a longer journey.
Without some strong backing, accomplishing such a feat would be impossible because the road construction was part of a national highway, and there are clear laws stating that in front of national interests, personal gains must take a back seat. Regardless of the compensation set by law, your land must be relinquished. After all, in this country, land is owned collectively by the public; there's no such thing as private land ownership.
