Chen Tianming and his "Moving Castle"
"In 2018, I returned home from Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions and started to build my castle. It's kind of a natural process: I've tried many times to put pieces together and gradually assemble them into what it is now. There is a sense of artistic adventure, and it also incorporates my curiosity to explore timber-framed buildings. For stability purposes, I reduced the size floor by floor so the castle eventually took the shape of a tower.
In the last five years, I cleared a piece of land and started farming. I started to raise organic chickens and ducks in 2020. In 2021, I planted pasture grass and raised geese and cattle, but I've been farming at a loss. In the second half of 2023, I started to sell forage, and I plan to reduce the scale of farming."—— according to Chen Tianming's account.
