The girl lost her husband at the age of 20, and her uncle kept her in the hospital for 50 years. Why has this hut become a tourist attraction now?

There are several reasons why this hut can become a scenic spot. First, this small house is not an ordinary civilian residence, but a large family building, and the building itself has high artistic and cultural value. The second is that there is a painful story behind this hut, which helps people understand the social status of ancient women. So this hut was preserved and developed into a tourist attraction.

This hut is located in today's Anhui Province, and it also has a special name-the door in the wall. Literally, the name is easy to understand, that is, many high walls are added around a house, but there is only one small door in the wall to enter and exit. This hut is not so much a door on the wall as a confined place. A young woman was imprisoned in this place called the inner door of the wall all her life.

This woman, Hu, is a very young and beautiful woman, dignified and beautiful. As a result, when she was just an adult, Hu was taken a fancy to by the local Xu Shi family, and Hu became a rich boy. I thought that Hu lived a good life from then on, but something unexpected happened. Her husband Xu Shi was killed by bandits while doing business outside. Xu Shi also became a widow, the elder of the Xu Shi family. For the honor of the family, Hu must not remarry.

Therefore, the Xu family specially built several high walls around Hu's hut, and all the food and clothing were sent by special servants. That is, Hu let her dead husband live all his life until Hu died. It can be seen from here that the social status of ancient women was really low.
