Li Fukun, a Municipal People's Congress member for Xiangtan city, Hunan province, has torn down the grave he built illegally for himself.

It has been reported that Li rented a crane and tore down the structure on Saturday.

Li illegally used farmland for the grave site, and did not have permission for the project, reported The Mirror evening newspaper.

He owns most of the land in question, though a small portion belongs to the village he lives in.

The grave site, built in 2013, was almost 500 square meters. Li said it was not just for him, but was also intended to be an ancestral grave.

He had planted trees and placed stone elephants, horses, and totem pillars to create a traditional Chinese graveyard.

He had even placed a tombstone for himself and his wife in the grave, even though both of them are still alive.

In October, authorities officially ordered the demolition of the site. Li signed an agreement giving up his rights to the property, even allowing the village to create a space for locals to exercise.

It's reported that Li spent tens of thousands of dollars to build the graveyard.
