Laoyachen is a subdistrict, formerly town, of Huiji District in Zhengzhou, Henan, China.
It has an area of 16.75 square kilometers and a population of 18,735.[1]
Demolition of Laoyachen Village, Zhengzhou's largest, began in December 2013, as part of the city's massive urban renewal program. According to a resident, households that relocated voluntarily before then were not given new homes, but "were promised 7,200 yuan (US$1,096) annually paid to each family member over the following three years on top of an additional annual 5,000 yuan (US$761) in living expenses." Protests by residents unwilling to move on those terms disrupted demolition into 2015. Local authorities eventually revised their compensation offer.[2] As of September 2017, one of the few buildings still standing in the village is Laoyachen Central Primary School, which will be preserved and built around.[3]
