In Confucian culture, mourning is an important funeral custom. Crying is used to express grief for loved ones. Failure to cry will be considered unfilial. In this cultural background, the profession of mourning came into being. As the title suggests, this book writes about the human nature and human feelings shown in mourning culture and folk affairs from the perspective of Li Qiankun, a college-educated mourner. The whole book uses a first-person perspective, colloquial language, relaxed narrative, and interlocking plots. It is fascinating and makes people unable to help but stay up late to read it. After reading, those plots will remain in your heart. Only by savoring them carefully can you see the deep meaning behind the story!
The protagonist described in the book presents at least two issues that exist in general society and are worth thinking about. The first is the issue of mourning. Why is there such a profession as mourning? Because many people don't cry when their loved ones die, others will think that they are unfilial. This is actually a kind of moral kidnapping, because everyone's personality is different. If he doesn't cry, it doesn't mean he is not sad or sad. Another issue is the issue of money. The protagonist in the story, does he like the profession of mourning? But he couldn't help it because the lower class people in society didn't even have the opportunity to choose their own career.
Being a mourner is also a profession. You can always see some dead people, and you must cry loudly during the funeral. And those who are placed in cemeteries also need someone to mourn them regularly. If you don't do it, you will be considered unfilial and you will worry about something bad happening to you. The work is from a first-person perspective and tells the story of how my entire family except my grandfather was killed by me after I was born. I was also considered an ominous blade, and finally I saw many of them in the profession of mourner.
This book is very interesting! The protagonist's life experience is really tragic, but he became a mourner in order to treat his grandfather's illness. His filial piety is touching. I especially like the character of Boss Zhang. He is very prestigious in the village and is also a master at mourning. However, the character of Grandpa is a bit annoying, he is too indifferent to the protagonist. This book gave me a new understanding of the bereavement industry and is well worth reading!
Very beautiful, the time and expression are very clear
A very good horror and suspense novel, I love this strange thing in the countryside so much
It's a pretty good novel, it must be given a five-star rating. It has a clear rhythm and a sense of horror.
