The local authorities in Guangdong province of China were compelled to realign construction of an overhead bridge as the lady owner of the house built enroute the bridge refused neither to accept the alternative flat the local administration offered nor the money. 

Heated debate has ensued among the Chinese netizens both in favour of the lady owner as well as the local administration. 

One blogger termed the lady as greedy while another, defending her, claimed that the offered compensation amount was less considering the location of the flat, situated nearby the morgue. 

However, the local administration remained confident that it would succeed in resolving the issue amicably. Meanwhile the bridge has now become a place of attraction and people from far and across the city have been regularly visiting and enjoying there.
