The matchmaker and Huang Taitai visited Lindo when she was only two years old because in Chinese culture, it was customary to arrange marriages for children at a young age. The matchmaker would assess the child's character and physical appearance, as well as the family's background, to find a suitable match. Huang Taitai, Lindo's future mother-in-law, accompanied the matchmaker to evaluate Lindo's family and determine if they were a good match for her son. This practice was a way for families to secure their children's future and ensure that they would marry into a family of equal or higher social status.
