The 57 year old man lived alone for 11 years at the top of the mountain.
two stone built houses on both sides of the cave are the kitchen and the chicken nest. The mouth of the cave is sealed with cement, and the iron gate is guarded. The "back" of the cave is a steep slope on the top of the mountain. Down to the top, we can see that 30 kilometers away from the urban area of Xiangtan, and the surrounding villages like chess pieces scattered. This mountain top, as well as the cave dwelling hidden under the mountain peaks, is Xu Wenyi's home. In the past 60 years, Xu Wenyi was not very tall, with a white beard. He looked very thin. He wore a wrinkled T-shirt and mud trousers. For reporters, he was somewhat alert, but still agreed to visit the cave. The cave is about 24 meters long, with an arc at the top and three or four meters wide and high. The outermost one lay the bed and several cupboards. The darker the light goes, the better the flashlight is.
