World Earth Heritage Building in Xiamen,Fuji an China

picture taken from the top of the rural dwellings

Looking at the picture, it sure look like 4 rings around a square.  If I can only enlarge the picture, it will show more details of what is it all about. This is a picture shared from a friend who traveled to the some part of Fujian province  and was amazed at how these community lived together in one building. The four round shape and a square are the roof of a communal living quarters of families, from a single one to their extended families or as a clan. In Chinese tradition, a son will be counted as one, knowing in the future they will marry and have a family of their own.  Here in this rural area dominated by rugged terrain and farmland, The Hakka inhabitants, considered an ethnic minority, made earth buildings  as shown in the picture, in Chinese word 土 (earth) 楼 (building) - pronounce as Tulou,  for their clan homes and they are found beside the streams flowing from the highlands. Tulou houses still exists today, some of which are over 600 years old, close to 700 years old. There is even the oldest one, “Fu Xing Lou” in Hu Le town, that was constructed over 1,200 years ago and is regarded as a “living fossil” of the construction style of central China.

According to history, Tulou houses were built by the people to protect themselves from invaders. Inside of a Tulou building lived around 80 families depending on the size of the Tulou housing.  Some may have less than 80 and some maybe more than 80 families living in the communal building depending on how big the size, the number of rooms, from 3-5 floors. These rammed earth architectural structures served as peaceful settlement for the Hakka and other people in the mountainous areas in southern part of Fujian China. The rooms are built with the same materials and size, equality of space for each family. The lower ground includes the communal water well, a temple for weddings, festivities, worship, meetings and other functions. There is only one main opening for entrance and exit, built from a large solid block of granite. It is a double door built with fire-resistant solid wood boards up to 13 cm thick and is reinforced with thick iron armour plates. The main gate door was barred with several horizontal and vertical strong wood posts inserted into holes in the granite. These amazing architectural earth dwellings is well-lit, well-ventilated, windproof and earthquake-proof building that is warm in winter and cool in summer. A perfect place for a family. The world's earth heritage buildings are amazing architectural design built with ingenuity.

Tranquility of the Scene


Life is so hectic for everyone. No matter who you are , what you do - there is always things to prepare and plan everyday. We get up, have breakfast and get moving for the day is not enough for the things we want to do each day. We come home tired and all we think is to relax the rest of the night. It's a routine, everyday.

How about a moment of silence? Away from the hustle and bustle of the life we have in the city? A place where we can be quiet just for a moment and hear the quietness of the quiet? Where we pour all our thoughts and let it be free for a moment?

Cancer Killer Sour Sop



CANCER KILLER – Natural Cancer Cell Killer 10,000 Times Stronger Than Chemo!

The Sour Sop or the fruit from the graviola tree is a miraculous natural cancer cell killer 10,000 times stronger than Chemo.

Why are we not aware of this? Its because some big corporation want to make back their money spent on years of research by trying to make a synthetic version of it for sale.

Now that your are aware of this, you can help a friend in need by letting him know or just drink some sour sop juice yourself as prevention from time to time. The taste is not bad after all. It’s completely natural and definitely has no side effects. If you have the space, plant one in your garden. The other parts of the tree are also useful. So, next time you have a fruit juice, ask for a sour sop.

How many people died in vain while this billion-dollar drug maker concealed the secret of the miraculous Graviola tree?

This tree is low and is called graviola in Brazil, guanabana or guyabano  in Spanish and has the uninspiring name “soursop” in English. The fruit is very large and the sub-acid sweet white pulp is eaten out of hand or, more commonly, used to make fruit drinks, sherbets and such.

The principal interest in this plant is because of its strong anti-cancer effects. Although it is effective for a number of medical conditions, it is the anti tumor effect that is of most interest. This plant is a proven cancer remedy of all cancer type.

Besides being a cancer remedy, graviola is a broad spectrum antimicrobial agent for both bacterial and fungal infections, is effective against internal parasites and worms, lowers high blood pressure and is used for depression, stress and nervous disorders.

If there ever was a single example that makes it dramatically clear why the existence of Health Sciences Institute is so vital to Americans like you, it’s the incredible story behind the Graviola tree..

The truth is stunningly simple: Deep within the Amazon Rainforest grows a tree that could literally revolutionize what you, your doctor, and the rest of the world thinks about cancer treatment and chances of survival. The future has never looked more promising.

Research shows that with extracts from this miraculous tree it now may be possible to:
* Attack cancer safely and effectively with an all-natural therapy that does not cause extreme nausea, weight loss and hair loss
* Protect your immune system and avoid deadly infections
* Feel stronger and healthier throughout the course of the treatment
* Boost your energy and improve your outlook on life

The source of this information is just as stunning: It comes from one of America ‘s largest drug manufacturers, the fruit of over 20 laboratory tests conducted since the 1970′s! What those tests revealed was nothing short of mind numbing… Extracts from the tree were shown to:

* Effectively target and kill malignant cells in 12 types of cancer, including colon, breast, prostate, lung and pancreatic cancer.
* The tree compounds proved to be up to 10,000 times stronger in slowing the growth of cancer cells than Adriamycin, a commonly used chemotherapeutic drug!
* What’s more, unlike chemotherapy, the compound extracted from the Graviola tree selectively hunts down and kills only cancer cells.. It does not harm healthy cells!

The amazing anti-cancer properties of the Graviola tree have been extensively researched–so why haven’t you heard anything about it? Graviola extract is  One of America ‘s biggest billion-dollar drug makers who began a search for a cancer cure and their research centered on Graviola, a legendary healing tree from the Amazon Rainforest.

Various parts of the Graviola tree–including the bark, leaves, roots, fruit and fruit-seeds–have been used for centuries by medicine men and native Indians in South America to treat heart disease, asthma, liver problems and arthritis. Going on very little documented scientific evidence, the company poured money and resources into testing the tree’s anti-cancerous properties–and were shocked by the results. Graviola proved itself to be a cancer-killing dynamo. But that’s where the Graviola story nearly ended.

The company had one huge problem with the Graviola tree–it’s completely natural, and so, under federal law, not patentable. There’s no way to make serious profits from it.

It turns out the drug company invested nearly seven years trying to synthesize two of the Graviola tree’s most powerful anti-cancer ingredients. If they could isolate and produce man-made clones of what makes the Graviola so potent, they’d be able to patent it and make their money back. Alas, they hit a brick wall. The original simply could not be replicated. There was no way the company could protect its profits–or even make back the millions it poured into research.

As the dream of huge profits evaporated, their testing on Graviola came to a screeching halt. Even worse, the company shelved the entire project and chose not to publish the findings of its research!

Luckily, however, there was one scientist from the Graviola research team whose conscience wouldn’t let him see such atrocity committed. Risking his career, he contacted a company that’s dedicated to harvesting medical plants from the Amazon Rainforest and blew the whistle.

Miracle unleashed
When researchers at the Health Sciences Institute were alerted to the news of Graviola, they began tracking the research done on the cancer-killing tree. Evidence of the astounding effectiveness of Graviola–and its shocking cover-up–came in fast and furious.

The National Cancer Institute performed the first scientific research in 1976. The results showed that Graviola’s “leaves and stems were found effective in attacking and destroying malignant cells.” Inexplicably, the results were published in an internal report and never released to the public.

Since 1976, Graviola has proven to be an immensely potent cancer killer in 20 independent laboratory tests, yet no double-blind clinical trials–the typical benchmark mainstream doctors and journals use to judge a treatment’s value–were ever initiated.

A study published in the Journal of Natural Products, following a recent study conducted at Catholic University of South Korea stated that one chemical in Graviola was found to selectively kill colon cancer cells at “10,000 times the potency of (the commonly used chemotherapy drug) Adriamycin…”

The most significant part of the Catholic University of South Korea report is that Graviola was shown to selectively target the cancer cells, leaving healthy cells untouched. Unlike chemotherapy, which indiscriminately targets all actively reproducing cells (such as stomach and hair cells), causing the often devastating side effects of nausea and hair loss in cancer patients.

A study at Purdue University recently found that leaves from the Graviola tree killed cancer cells among six human cell lines and were especially effective against prostate, pancreatic and lung
cancers…. Seven years of silence broken and it’s finally here!
