Mao Li, aged 30, has lived in the pipe, which lies beside a bridge in Haikou, Hainan province, southern China, for a year.
Mao Li’s one bedroom apartment even has its own front door. Public authorities have intervened and are forcing him to evacuate only because they have decided that the front door to Mao’s very humble dwelling “lowers the tone of the area.”
Luckily the intervention will work in his favour - as to make up for destroying his home officials have agreed to move him into an actual house.
A Haikou spokesman said: "He will be taken care of and given a proper home. We are a modern city - we can't have people living in pipes.”
