Chinanews, Changsha, Apr. 10 – According to Hunan Daily, in Yongxing County of Hunan Province, retired1 teacher Chen Mingkun and his wife live in a natural cave, and they quite enjoy such life.
Chen’s cave is 20 meters wide and 8 meters deep. Lichens2 can be seen everywhere in it. Chen said that the place is free of pollution. Why they moved into the cave is because of poverty, Chen said. In 1975, the houses of his families and his neighbors were all burned to the ground in the fire. Chen was then already married and badly needed a house to live in. But he had no money to build a house, so, he had to live in his relatives’ houses as long as 5 years. In 1980, he discovered this cave where he and his family members decided3 to live in there. Chen thought the cave could be a temporary living place, but it never occurs to him that it could be his home in the next 28 years. Chen recalled the first couple of days were the most difficult period, “I put up some wooden boards for a gate, but they were all blown away by wind that same night.” Chen has two sons and a daughter, and they all left the cave after they got married. Now Chen’s old friends occasionally visit with him in his cave drinking and playing Chinese chess. For Chen, the most enjoyable thing is to raise bees and grow kinds of plants 点击  收听单词发音
