2024年2月，贵州兴义市，陈天明与他的“移动城堡”的合影。“2018年，我从江浙地区回老家后就开始建造，算是自然而然，多次拼凑尝试、逐渐组合而成，也有一点艺术冒险性，有好奇心，探索木结构建筑，为了稳固逐层减小而呈塔状。最近五年开荒复垦务农，2020年开始养土鸡土鸭，2021年逐渐种草养鹅养牛，其实养殖都亏损，2023年下半年开始卖牧草，未来的计划是减少养殖。”——来自他的自述

Chen Tianming and his "Moving Castle"
"In 2018, I returned home from Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions and started to build my castle. It's kind of a natural process: I've tried many times to put pieces together and gradually assemble them into what it is now. There is a sense of artistic adventure, and it also incorporates my curiosity to explore timber-framed buildings. For stability purposes, I reduced the size floor by floor so the castle eventually took the shape of a tower.
In the last five years, I cleared a piece of land and started farming. I started to raise organic chickens and ducks in 2020. In 2021, I planted pasture grass and raised geese and cattle, but I've been farming at a loss. In the second half of 2023, I started to sell forage, and I plan to reduce the scale of farming."—— according to Chen Tianming's account.
