This sentence comes from the whole sentence "the small room dripping under the big roof is called the teardrop room." If a teardrop house is built, the children will be heartbroken and the father will cry for his mother. In rural areas, high houses are generally for elders or people with status, while low houses are generally for younger generations or people with low status.
Development reasons
First of all, we should understand that even in wealthy families, the houses people live in are very shabby, and the tiles covered on the roof often fall off because of the wind. For some people who don't live in wealthy families, their roofs are mostly thatched and tiled, so the risk factor is higher.
Therefore, for such a "teardrop room", whenever it is windy and rainy, the tiles on the higher room will inevitably fall into the shorter "teardrop room", which will easily hit the sleeping person and cause danger. From another point of view, the "teardrop house" is often short and shabby, coupled with the impact of rain, the sun is always blocked by tall houses. Therefore, the internal environment of the "teardrop room" will be very humid, and living in a cold and humid environment all the year round will have a certain impact on the psychology of the occupants.
