Content: For income, Shuai sells groceries from her apartment. She was given 5,000 yuan ($790) as a “reward” for being among the first to move, according to a June 2011 government document she showed Reuters; 200 yuan per person in her family and 1,000 yuan in “moving fees”. Officials did not respond to repeated requests for comment on the forced relocation and compensation given to residents. The local government will offer a new apartment and cash as compensation for resettlement, it said in a December 2009 document explaining the scheme, without providing details of the amounts. It will only compensate residents according to the floor area of their previous apartments, but will not pay extra if the apartment in Shennongxi is bigger than their previous homes. Residents who “reject the relocation or delay relocating” or “make unreasonable demands for compensation again” after being compensated will receive a warning, the local government said. Shuai reckons 30 households have moved to Shennongxi. Her grandson, who attends school in the town, lives away from his entire family because there’s virtually no transport. “By moving here, we have no way to survive,” she said.
