Beijing's first professional 'nail' scores

It has been only a month since Lu Daren, once a demolition team leader, started working as Beijing's first professional anti-demolition protester. Already he has scored a victory.

A leasing company has agreed to negotiate to pay Qin Rong, 28, more of the compensation she says she deserves for her Fish Castle Restaurant, which is scheduled to be imminently demolished.

Last month, Qin hired Lu to protect her restaurant from demolition crews.
