Farmer Defends His Land With A Canon, China

The local government has offered him 130,000 yuan (US$19,030) for his fields but he rejected the offer. Now he has to protect his land. Yang Youde, who lives on the outskirts of bustling Wuhan city, in central Hubei province, says he has fended off two eviction attempts with his improvised weapon, which uses ammunition made from locally sold fireworks.
