Once there was a postman called Wale Xue took a walk everyday in the countryside. One Day, he was tripped over by a stone on the rough mountain road. He got up, clapped the dust and decided to go on, but suddenly he found the stone that knocked down him was very extraordinary. He picked up the stone, looked it carefully. He loved it so much that he put it into his parcel. When he returned to the village, people are curious with him, for his postal pocket had a heavy stone, so they persuaded him to throw it away. In their eyes, carrying such a stone was a big burden for him everyday. He felt very tired when he lay on the bed at home, but suddenly he thought of an idea, that is: if he use beautiful stones like this one to build a tower, and then it will be charming!” Hence, he looked for stones everyday on his way to send letters and took one home. Before long, he collected a lot of grotesque stones, but the amount was far enough to build a tower. Afterwards, he pushed the unicycle to send letters. As long as he found his favorite stones, he would carry them to his unicycle. From then on, he led an unpleasant life. In the day, he was both a postman and porter of carrying stones. In the evening, he was an architect, who built his own tower according to his fantasy thinking. As to his behavior, all people thought this he was incredible and there must be something wrong with his nerves. Nevertheless, he kept on looking for stones, transporting and piling up them for more than 20 years. There were many patterned towers in his isolated dwelling standing gradually, and the local people knew that it was such a stubborn but silent postman that played games of building sand-castles like children. In 1905, a journalist of French newspaper found these this group of towers, in which the sceneries and patterns were very stunning. So he wrote an article to introduce Xue Wale. After the article was published, he became renowned person and a great many people visited his towers, including the most prestigious Picasso. Currently, this tower has become the4 most famous scenic spot in France and its name is “The building of the postman-Xue Wale. In a word, there is still much information about buildings on stonebtb.
