Grave situation for Chinese builders as family refuses to allow late ancestor to be moved to make way for high-rise block
Family of the deceased have refused to allow the grave to be moved
They want answers about why developers chose that site in Taiyuan, China
An ancestral grave stands in the middle of a building site - because the family of the deceased refuse to let it be moved.
The single gravestone has bizarrely been left on top of a ten metre high mound while workers erect a high-end block of flats around it in Taiyuan, capital of northern China's Shanxi Province.
The tomb is the ancestral grave of a villager from nearby Longbao whose family is unhappy with the level of relocation compensation that has been offered.
The owner of the tomb, which has been in place since 2004, said the family wants answers from the developers about why they chose that particular site.
Despite the obvious grave work on the building, which is expected to be finished by April 2013, seems to have carried on regardless.
