Government officials in Shaanxi are trying to move Ms Liu and what they say are 2.8m people like her from impoverished and disaster-prone areas. They say it is the biggest resettlement project in China's history. Not everyone is happy. Mass relocations are a staple of Chinese development. China News Weekly, a state-controlled magazine, reported last year that more than 70m people have been moved this way since the Communist Party came to power in 1949. The southern province of Guizhou plans to move some 1.5m people out of poor, mountainous areas by the end of the decade. The western province of Ningxia aims to resettle more than 350,000 of its poor by 2015. Strong-arm tactics are common, such as when the government moved more than 1.3m people for the building of the Three Gorges dam on the Yangzi River from the 1990s. Shaanxi has forsworn coercion in its project, which it announced late in 2010 and said would take ten years. But it will be tough persuading people like Ms Liu, who is 72 and lives by herself with an empty coffin (her own) in a dark, bare living room.
