He Built a 7-Story House From Trash, But Never Got to Live in It 😢🏚️
This strange building is known as the “cheapest house in the world” — and not just because it’s made of trash, mud, bamboo, and broken bricks 😲
It took one man 10 years to complete this 7-story handmade house for his family, using only discarded materials he found on the streets. But tragically, just before finishing it, he was sent to a psychiatric hospital and never got to live in the home he dedicated his life to 🥺
📍In a small district on the outskirts of Chengdu, China, people often stop to take pictures of this bizarre, towering structure made of sticks, clay, metal scraps, and bamboo. It’s not just a house — it’s a monument of one man’s hope.
👤Meet Li Feng, a quiet and determined 58-year-old man who was born into a family of farmers. As the oldest son, he always felt it was his duty to protect and support his two younger sisters.
After leaving school early to work in factories, Li saved every penny and dreamed of one thing: building a home where his entire family could live together — their parents, siblings, spouses, and children. A home full of love ❤️
He had no training, no tools, and no money. So he began collecting what others threw away — bamboo poles, bricks, dirt, broken tiles, even old wires and cans. He worked alone, rain or shine 🌧️☀️
🔨The foundation took 4 years. Then he added each floor, one by one, carefully reinforcing every wall with mud and patience. It became his life’s mission.
But life was not kind to Li. One of his sisters passed away from cancer, and the other moved away and stopped contacting him. As grief consumed him, neighbors say he became “different.” He talked to himself, saying his family would return any day.
Then one day, authorities found him sleeping under a tarp near the house. He was disoriented, frail, and silent. He was taken to a psychiatric facility for care. The house remains — unfinished, towering, and full of silent stories 🏚️
Locals call it a “miracle made of garbage.” To them, it’s not an eyesore — it’s a symbol of a brother’s devotion and a dream that never gave up 💔
Would you live in a house built from broken dreams? 🏠✨
