Sheila: In ancient times in this particular village the whole village was underground like this so you couldn’t even see some things. We’re going to visit the only cave home left in the entire village. The door, ciao. She is 100 years old.
Male: She lived here nearly 80 years.
Sheila: Unbelievable. She looks wonderful.
Male: This house has 200 years of history.
Sheila: 200 year history of this house. This is unbelievable. I wish I looked this good as this lady and that’s her daughter.
Male: There are six daughters.
Sheila: Six daughters.
Male: She is the youngest daughter.
Sheila: The youngest daughter.
Male: Yes.
Sheila: This lady still has Chinese bound feet.
Male: After 1911—
Sheila: No more bound feet.
Male: That is now very good for work and travel outdoors.
Sheila: It’s good to be a hundred years old and have all your faculties like this lady here. This was the bedroom and this is on the side with some souvenirs. She’s lived here for 80 years out of her hundred.
That’s for potatoes. I always thought that it was a well. Her son lives here too. What was in here?
Male: Horse or donkey.
Sheila: A stable. The black tabernacle was the route to another neighbor’s house but they just sealed in the garbage, sealed off everything or the people?
Male: New building here.
Sheila: The oldest woman in the Hanoi region lived to be a 130, from underground, is that a stream of well.
Male: I thought it leak.
Sheila: Not so much. I’ve been to spray bottles. She’d only be as lucky to be like this lady here. I need to be a hundred years old and it could take this years.
They just told me when a person in old times and now when they’re 70 years old plus they start preparing for their own death and in those days they were allowed to have wooden planks to make a coffin and be buried into the ground but now most Chinese are cremated in pretty just small boxes.
This is where we were, this was one of their neighbors but it’s now the local garbage dump.
