8月13日，河北省邢台市临西县童村一处民宅遭到暴力强拆。当日，大量警察和拆迁人员进入童村，在抓捕了反抗的村民后，将涉事房屋拆毁。据村民透露，此次拆迁属于当地政府的城中村改造工程，由于赔偿过低（折算楼房的比例仅为 1:0.68），村民拒绝搬迁。
On August 13, in Tong Village, Linxi County, Xingtai City, Hebei Province, a private home was violently demolished. That day, large numbers of police and demolition personnel entered the village, and after detaining villagers who resisted, destroyed the house in question. According to local residents, the demolition was part of the local government’s “urban village” redevelopment project. Due to the low compensation—where the exchange ratio for new housing was only 1:0.68—villagers refused to relocate.
