There once be an old Chinese traditional tower called Leifeng by the Xihu lake. Neither tall nor magnificent, the tower had stood still for more than 1000 years…maybe that was the reason why it was old enough to be described with the word “shabby”. However, people who had seen it in the glow of the setting sun had all appreciated the view, and large number of articles describing the view with admiration had been written and circulated widely in China.

Things never last forever, the tower had collapsed in 20XX. Besides feeling sorry for it, people still thought it was hard to avoid the fact that the tower would sooner or later collapse. That was all due to a story that had been going with the history of this Leifeng tower…

It is said that one day long before, when a young scholar whose name was Xuan was having a walk in the wood, he saw an injured white snake, trying hard to survive from the wound. Without much hesitation he gave medical treatment to the white snake and let it go after it had got well. But he never knew that the white snake he had saved was a siren that had been practicing asceticism to gain a human body for almost 1000 years. Not like any other sirens, the white snake was kindhearted and it decided to pay debt of gratitude. With the determination in mind it finally gain the human body and became a woman with beautiful appearance. She gave herself a name, Suzhen.When she met Xuan in reality, both of them fell in love with each other at the first sight. Very soon they got married, and thought they would be happy ever after. However, a hateful monk, Fahai, start trying to separate the couple in whatever ways he could think of, he always excused that it was unacceptable that a demo and a human being got married and lived together, he said he was justifiable that he had to separate them and punish Suzhen with his power of magic.

In fact, even if Suzhen used to be a white snake, she was doing her best to pleased everyone with her heart that was full of gratitude and love, she was doing nothing bad to danger anyone. People admired her because of all the help that she had brought to them. Even Fahai knew it clearly, but he himself never told the unknown reason why he had to punish Suzhen. In my opinion the reason may be his selfish desire or something, why not? Suzhen was such an attractive woman after all…

After huge amount of “great effort” had been done, Fahai finally reached his goal to separate Suzhen and Xuan, at the same time Suzhen was sealed under the Leifeng tower from then on. She would never be set free unless the tower collapses.

That is the story of Leifeng tower. Now it had collapsed, it is whished that Suzhen had met her dear husband, Xuan, and had started their happy life all over again.

Leifeng Pagoda is a tower by the West Lake in Hangzhou which was originally constructed in the year AD 975. It has been a popular tourist attraction since being rebuilt in 20XX.

During the Yuan dynasty, Leifeng Pagoda was still well-maintained. During the Ming dynasty, Japanese pirates attacked Hangzhou. Suspecting it contained weapons, they burned its wooden elements, leaving only the brick skeleton, as can be seen from Ming paintings of the West Lake.

Later, due to a superstition that bricks from the tower could repel illness or prevent miscarriage, many people stole bricks from the tower to grind into powder. On the afternoon of September 25 20XX, the tower finally collapsed.

Leifeng Pagoda was originally an octagonal, five-storied tower of brick and wood.

As for whether there was a mausoleum below, this was debated for years until finally radar was used to investigate. On March 11 20XX the mausoleum was excavated and many treasures were found, most notably a gold and silver coated hair of the Buddha.

In October 20XX, the city of Hangzhou decided to rebuild Leifeng Pagoda anew to enhance the scenery of the lake. On 25 October 20XX, the rebuilt Leifeng Pagoda opened, built above the ruins of the old one and with documents and exhibits on show for visitors.
