When I was six years old, my grandfather passed away. I held his coffin and sent him on his last journey. In our hometown, women can only be sent to the entrance of the village for burial, but cannot follow them to the location of the grave. Only after the person has been buried and a mound of earth has been built, will women come to mourn at the grave. That day, people were coming and going in a hurry, and because I was wearing a loose mourning robe, no one noticed that I followed me to the cemetery.
