After My Mother Died, I Went Back to the Village to Hold a Funeral for Myself

After my mother died, she left me a suicide note. She said: On the first seven days, I had to go back to Chenjiagou and hold a funeral for myself. I thought she was crazy. Until I saw my name on the village's pussy book. It reads: Chen Jiusheng, died twenty-three years ago. When the old man at the entrance of the village saw me, he turned pale with fright: "How are you still alive?" That night, the whole village lit up with white lanterns. Someone stood at the door of the ancestral hall and said to me: "Jiu Sheng, don't waste time." "It's time for your funeral."
