A three-year-old girl was killed by a bulldozer as her family attempted to block construction crews from 'forcibly flattening' their land, it has been claimed.
Hong Xiaorou died under the tracks of the construction vehicle next to her home in Zhangzhou, in the southeastern province of Fujian, China.
Her family were in the middle of a dispute over the acquisition of their land and claimed they were attempting to stop building workers from flattening it when the girl died.
Her father Hong Bingsheng said 'I asked an official from the demolition team: "What is more important -- human life or land acquisition? The official replied: "Land acquisition is more important".'
Xiaorou's family took her body to a local government office to protest to officials.
Images posted on Sina Weibo, China's version of Twitter, showed a toddler lying on a table in what appeared to be an office, badly bruised with blood pouring from her head as a woman cried at her side.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
