The community, named by the real estate developer as “The Peculiar Happiness City”, is located on the west side of Wujiaba CBD. However, at the beginning of 2015, due to financial issues, the real estate developer suspended the construction, including 12 residence buildings with the main roof already capped. Moreover, the pandemic of COVID-19 aggravated the predicament; that is to say, no other real estate developers were willing to take over the construction. Meanwhile, the government ignored its responsibility for market regulation and caring for its citizens. Yet for those owners who bought apartments six or seven years ago, the suspended construction suspended their life as well. In this sense, their expectations are deprived by ignorance and excuses without official statement, apologies and solutions. In order to resist this situation, since May 2020, more than 30 households moved in one unfinished building while there was no water, electricity, elevators and other basic facilities. They regard their “action” not only as a resistance to “turn- blind-eye-on” but also their voices of how they are treated as a living fact without indignity. Fortunately, a few months after living in “The Peculiar Happiness City”, residents finally got the official response, and they were resettled in an empty building. However, they have recently been informed that the dormitory would be demolished. For those people, home is always at large, some of them are now planning to move into unfinished “Peculiar Happiness City” again.
