English Translation of the Post: Top text: In the middle of the bridge, the sudden appearance of a “nail house” has drawn widespread attention. From an aerial view, residential buildings are wedged between the two lanes like a pair of eyes. Netizens have therefore dubbed it the “Eye of Haizhu,” and it has attracted many people who come to gather, take photos, and check in. Middle text (below the photo): A perfectly straight road has been forced into becoming a curved one. It’s said that after the bridge opened to traffic, it greatly improved travel for the surrounding residents, so it’s understandable that some onlookers feel angry. In a media interview, one citizen bluntly said they feel “very heartbroken” about this kind of behavior that puts personal interest above the public good. However, looking at it from another angle, since the relevant government departments did not forcibly demolish it, this also acknowledges the legality of the homeowner’s position. Bottom text (appears cut off in the image): Compared to similar “nail houses” that previously went viral online and eventually became “isolated islands,” the relevant departments here have neither cut off water or electricity, and have even [left facilities] under the bridge… (The embedded photo is an aerial shot of a multi-lane bridge over water. A small cluster of residential buildings sits abruptly in the median between the lanes, forcing the roadway to curve around it. Cars are visible on the bridge, and there are older buildings and greenery on the left side.) This is a classic Chinese “dingzihu” (nail house/holdout property) story from the Haizhu district of Guangzhou. The unusual layout has turned the bridge into a viral photo spot.
