The man has kept his "home" in the ancient tomb for 3 years, and the furniture in the tomb is readily available. Why does he still refuse to move out over 8 years old?
In this world, most people live a normal life in the eyes of others. From childhood, they study, go to school, then grow up, work, get married and start a family. It seems that the trajectory of life has already been arranged, which is also a natural pattern in everyone's eyes, so every time we see some "alternative" lifestyles, we will be surprised and even find it difficult to accept. "The world is so big, I want to see it" is a minority after all. The life chosen by the hero we are going to introduce today is even more eye-opening. Hubei men have kept their "home" in the ancient tomb for 3 years, and the furniture in the tomb is readily available, even if they are over 8 years old, they refuse to move out, which is a miracle.
His name is Tao Shaotang, a native of Youmaling Village, Daoguan River, Xinzhou, Wuhan, Hubei Province. He had a hard life. He grew up with his grandfather after his parents died, and he was often bullied because of his withdrawn personality. He was still single until he was 4 or 5 years old. In 1984, Tao Shaotang, who was in his early fifties, had a quarrel with the people in the village and burned down his house in a rage, making him homeless and wandering around. Later, he wandered to the barren hills a few kilometers away from the village. In order to survive, at first, he built a simple shed by the pond halfway up the mountain to shelter from the wind and rain. Until one day, when he was collecting medicine, he came to the top of the mountain and found four ancient tombs. Why didn't he stay in these four tombs? Then he moved here and lived here for more than 3 years.
Tao Shaotang first dug up the ancient tomb, and then tidied up the bones inside. Later, he found some stones and built a wall on the ancient tomb, with a hall in the middle and a house on each side, which was enough for him alone. Later, he also bought some furniture, tables, chairs and beds, all of which were needed, and the ancient tomb was gradually filled with the appearance of home. As for when this tomb was built, Tao Shaotang said that it may not be too long ago, but it belonged to a big landlord in the Republic of China. He said that the brick wall of the tomb was familiar and the door made of coffin board was more durable.
This story soon spread in the village, and many people found it incredible. They even nicknamed him "the old man in the ancient tomb". Once someone asked him, weren't they afraid? Unexpectedly, this old Tao proudly said,' I have never believed in ghosts and gods in my life. Where there are ancient tombs, the feng shui is good, and I live well'. He planted crops around the "house", raised sheep and rabbits, dug ponds to raise fish, and planted many peach trees and pear trees in front of and behind the house, just like a paradise.
Get up at dawn in the morning, then go to work in the fields, go to bed at 1 o'clock in the evening, dig wells without running water, and use kerosene lamps without electricity. Tao Shaotang's life in a day is very simple, and he seems to feel very satisfied. Later, Tao Shaotang often went down the mountain, carrying the melons and fruits and fish in fish ponds to the market at the foot of the mountain for sale, and the money he got would also buy some daily necessities. Frequent exchanges with the outside world also made him fall in love with playing cards, and he would go down the mountain to play a few dishes every three to five times.
friends at the foot of the mountain advised him to move back to the village, because in winter, the mountain is cold, the water pipes are frozen, so it is difficult to drink water, and the road down the mountain is slippery. It is really troublesome to be trapped alone on the mountain, but Tao Shaotang, who is over 8 years old, insists on living here. He said that he has been used to it for more than 3 years. However, over the years, the policemen of Tiandaoguan police station will go up the mountain to send oil, food and water to the elderly on holidays and snows, and take care of them. Unfortunately, I don't know what his present situation is. Anyway, I hope the old man can enjoy his old age.
