Protest against the destruction of old Beijing. Graffiti on hutong housing being knocked down for new construction in the build-up to the Olympic Games, showing police, thugs and a family member chasing others from their home, surrounded by the Yuan symbol (the Chinese currency). The other characters read: "People's Execution" a clever and pointed play on words, as it sounds like "People's Money" or Renmin Bi - the official name for the currency.
