**Defying Gravity: Chen Tianming's Tower Defeats Demolition Orders**
*In rural China, a man builds an unyielding tower that’s becoming a tourist attraction.*
Chen Tianming has boldly defied demolition orders to construct an astonishing 11-story tower in his rural corner of Guizhou Province, China. His eccentric home captures the imagination, resembling a whimsical creation from a Dr. Seuss book.
Standing precariously over green fields, the structure entices onlookers with its unusual design, featuring eleven stories of dark red wooden rooms that taper as they rise. The house’s stability is in question, with utility poles propping ceilings, rainwater buckets straining to support its weight, and makeshift ladders connecting the levels at risky angles. Nevertheless, Chen climbs these makeshift paths with ease, showcasing the eclectic nature of his residence.
At 43 years old, Chen has embraced the notion of creating rather than yielding to authority. During a recent visit, he reflected on the criticisms surrounding his tower, acknowledging their validity while remaining undeterred. "People say it’s shabby and could collapse anytime,” he stated, surveying the conventional buildings composed of concrete in the distance that his neighbors call home.
Much to his surprise, Chen's peculiar home has turned into an unexpected tourist destination, attracting visitors eager to experience its artistic charm. Each day, curious travelers arrive to marvel at the rickety yet captivating height of the structure. Instead of succumbing to the pressure to dismantle his creation, Chen has continued to build, transforming an act of defiance into a landmark of resilience.
