Info from Licensor: "This is the striking moment that a hollow tree in central China continued to thrive despite severe damage, astonishing onlookers with its resilience. On April 24, 2026, in Biyang County, Zhumadian, Henan, the video captured a rare scene of a tree whose trunk was almost entirely hollow in the middle, yet its canopy remained lush and full. The footage showed the tree standing firmly upright, with dense green leaves spreading outward, defying its fragile-looking structure. Locals and visitors gathered around to take photos, fascinated by what they described as a “strong tree.” Despite appearing structurally compromised, the tree showed no signs of withering, highlighting its remarkable vitality. According to local authorities from the housing and urban-rural development bureau, the tree had previously been struck by lightning, damaged by fire caused by firecrackers, and infested by insects over the years. The video ended with a close-up shot of the hollow trunk, revealing the tree’s charred interior while its vibrant green branches swayed gently above."
