Quote:

A life-long neighbor says, "He had a very soft and gentle personality and
didn't have mental problems that we knew of."

"'He wanted his place back and they weren't paying him enough money,' said [
another] neighbor Yang Yuanyong. Yang said the seeds of the dispute were
sown when the local village head sold the land where the local public
preschool used to be and then arranged to have a new private preschool set
up in Wu's farmhouse.

My comment: There is no need to read the report. Take a look at the picture, a golf course in Beijing, supposedly by the rich. It looks terrible: the grass was not green; the birch had few leaves. Was it winter?  The PUBLIC course in Brookline, Massachusetts looks nicer than that.
