Reminds me of "The Woman in the Enclosure"

The film's narration is eloquent, and the graphics and music are just right. It reflects the tragic life of widows at that time. No future, no access. Love is only part of the story. The life of a little girl, the heroine who becomes a woman who has lost her footing, and the living conditions of several other widows. It makes me sad.
I am reminded of a domestic TV series I watched a long time ago. It was about the life of Chinese widows in the past. It was called "The Woman in the Enclosed House", and it was during the period of the Republic of China. They couldn't go out without permission and were locked in that big room all the time. Thinking that there was once a group of widows in China who lived an unfortunate life. She tried hard to fight, but also failed, which played a role in promoting the status of women.
