A Chinese man has taken his desire for a quiet life to the extreme by living as a hermit in a cave for the past 20 years.
Feng Mingshan, 54, has to climb a 50 metre vertical cliff to reach the entrance of his unusual home where he has even fashioned a front door and hung curtains.

Feng moved out of Gaoba Town, in northwest China's Shaanxi Province, in 1993 because he did not want to be around other people.

Now he lives in virtual isolation and has eschewed almost every modern convenience - even clothes.

Pictures show the hermit climbing nude in and out of cave carrying bundles of sticks.



Feng's brother Feng Xueming said: 'My brother has a weird personality. He doesn't like to communicate with others.'
Over the past 20 years he has worked at enlarging the interior of his cave and has also chiselled handholds on the rock outside to help him climb up the steep rocks.

Local media reported that Feng originally found the cave when he was just a boy.

'It was a small cave when I found it, and I expanded it to its current size using a hammer', he was quoted by The Mirror (http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/chinese-hermit-found-living-cave-2206085) as saying.

He added: 'I also cleared the path through the ravine. Summer is cool here and it's good.'

Residents in nearby villages said he normally leaves the cave at night but can still make the steep ascent with ease.

But while locals are impressed with his climbing and foraging skills, authorities want to put him into a nursing home.

He was reportedly diagnosed with intermittent psychosis and did receive a brief course of treatment.
Town mayor Xu Min was quoted by The Mirror as saying they are continuing to monitor Feng and will try to persuade him to live in a more conventional home.

Now you can see why he is living in a mountain cave..............

[Son-of-Liberty]

Some people just want to be left alone and other people just won't leave you the fuck alone.

[Uncle Salty]

he has a nice ass...

[Serpo]

he has a nice ass...

another reason he is ......"in cave mode"

[ximmy]

eviction notices are coming for failure to pay back land use taxes...

eviction notices are coming for failure to pay back land use taxes...

Plus he didn't get the permit to instal a door.

Typical. The man is living life as he wants to while harming no one. So what does the government do? Declares he's mentally ill and should be locked away in a "nursing home" for his own good of course.

In the desert below me to the east is Giant Rock. Its said to be the largest freestanding boulder. During WW ll, there was a guy living beneath it. The temperature was constant year round. He was a radio enthusiast and being german he was accused of being a spy. Federal marshalls from riverside county, not san bernardino county where the boulder is located showed up and threw tear gas into his home igniting his stash of dynamite he used while mining. I belive his name was frank critzer.

Imagine you need 100 people that care...but you only get 10...and you have to get the other 90 to follow programs.

To their logical conclusions.

So they are predictable.

or robotic.

Artificial intelligences.

Pay the tax or get sniped and replaced with a more obedient subject.

Supply the demand for power.

persuasion followed by force and then annihilation.

Please give me what I want or else I will annihilate you.

absolute capitalists take more power than they give or taxing all and everything to get what the ywant...which is more power.

or victory not defeat.

please give us what we want or else we will annihilate you.

That is what you are up against when you take on an agent of the crown...the power of millions of you all supplied to them to get what they want.

"Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master."--Most worshipful master General George Washington, British East India company asset.

Truth is the Government of lies.

As long as the trees do not run out Truth will be your servant...but when the trees run out it will turn into your master.

Like if you chop down trees as fast as or slower than they regrow...you will not get burnt by GOD.

GOD is the Government of Truth.

The power flows from GOD to Truth and then to all the lies that take more than they give from Truth to sustain their existence appearing as Truth.

The Universe is a lie that takes more power than it gives from Truth to sustain it's existence.

It is what you are looking at right now.

A lie that is constantly being defeated and then because GOD is LOVE...the instant the lie is going to cease to exist forever it is reborn.

This is constantly happening faster than is perceivable from inside the Universe...You can know about it though.

There is a constant flow of power that we can not see but know about that allows us to manipulate the Universe significantly.

You could hide your stuff someplace else to escape that fate.

[Santa]

You could hide your stuff someplace else to escape that fate.

Interesting! Can you elaborate? Is the "someplace" you're suggesting, outside the Universe?

[Hypertiger]

Then it will be impossible to find...like Truth...That is where Truth is hidden...It's why you all can not find it...

It is behind all the lies powering their existence.

Something someplace causes nothing nowhere to exist and nothing nowhere wants to become something someplace and this is the cause of everything everywhere in the Universe.

[Libertytree]

Lame Tigger continues the useless diatribe.

[Santa]

Something someplace causes nothing nowhere to exist and nothing nowhere wants to become something someplace and this is the cause of everything everywhere in the Universe.

Lol... I hear ya, brother. :)

Something about this story is just really pissing me off tonight. Of all the people in the world to be harassed and bothered by the "authorities", a man who takes it upon himself to 100% detach from society and live on his own, by his own, out in nature, harming nobody and asking nobody for anything, should be the LAST target of these busybody "authorities" who just have to force everyone into their personal vision of "how it's supposed to be". This poor man just wants to be left alone, is that too much to ask?

[Serpo]

Ive already started digging............

[EE_]

The people on Skid Row should be so lucky to have authorities care enough to put them in nursing homes...people that can't even provide for themselves and live off handouts.
This guy being self sufficient must be the reason this cannot be tolerated...same as like in the US. He is setting a bad example.
