Workers start moving an isolated tomb in the middle of a construction site in Shanxi province on Dec 18. The last standing tomb is finally to be relocated from a construction site in Longpu village to the neighboring village of Laofen, in Taiyuan, the capital city of Shanxi province. The relocation project at Longpu started in 2006 with compensation of 800 yuan (about $128) being paid out per body. All tombs had been relocated by 2011 except for one, which is an ancestral grave belonging to Chang Jinzhu. This photo was taken on Dec 18. [Photo/Asianewsphoto]
