Huang Zhenzong, the third ancestor of the Kengzi Huang family (Ang Yan Gong, the third son of Huang Juzhong, the son of Huang Chaoxuan, the first ancestor of the Kengzi Huang family), presided over the construction of the first large castle-style Hakka house "Xinqiao World Residence" covering an area of more than 8,000 square meters in the eighteenth year of Qianlong (1753), which was close to completion, and found that the materials and funds were very surplus, so he asked his son to go to Da Shui Wan to find another Jiji, only after 27 years, and built a "Longwan World Residence", which shows that the Huang clan was rich at that time.

The old houses on the left side of the nave have collapsed to varying degrees, the earthen walls are overgrown with mosses and ferns, and the remnants of the wall foundation are still clearly visible, with some years of desolation.
Most of the walls of the old house on the right have fallen off in large areas, the essential door has long been rotten and has been replaced with a simple iron door, and the old house has become a chicken coop for nearby villagers, and the door is full of chicken sundries and a few old barrels and old clay pots.
More than a dozen chickens were leisurely foraging, and the white-haired earth dog was also very docile, I avoided the chicken manure under my feet, and wanted to get close to the chicken coop to take further pictures, the earth dog opened its mouth and slowly approached me, and looked up at me with a tilted head and more curious.
The floor of the building is raised step by stepThe multi-level patio is conducive to ventilation, lighting and drainage. Now the southeast watchtower is well preserved, and the Huang family ancestral hall facing the gate is still under repair.

The thick walls of the old house have been cracked by time, and the morning glory has come out of the cracks and the dark holes in the dusty old wooden windows, showing amazing vitality, and the flash of green adds a unique charm to the old house.
The morning glory blooms with elegant purple hues, and each flower is like a trumpet of hope and a hymn to life.
