Zenjinyan writes in her blog that everyone has a home, it shouldn't be a far fetched dream, but a basic human right [1]. According to the report of the Centre on housing rights and evictions, in Beijing, because of the Olympics, more than 1,250,000 people have their homes destroyed; in Shanghai, because of the World Expo, more than 18,000 people have lost their homes.
