A woman in Heyuan, Guangdong province, has been living in a tree ever since someone broke her heart three years ago.

Huang Meiling, 41, used ropes and wood to build a simple bed in the tree in the city's Chashan park.

She sleeps in the tree every night except during the rainy season. She's refused to give up the tree bed despite pleas from her relatives, friends and neighbors.

Huang, who speaks English, used to be a teacher, said a neighbor.
