The Funeral Bearer

How does a person face death?

Can people who reach the end of their lives alone really trust someone who is neither family nor friend?

I often feel that I’ll die alone, so sometimes I find myself imagining a mysterious future.

Eighty-year-old Grandma Zhou Xianhua has no family or friends, and she is close to death.

She pays thirty thousand yuan to hire someone to see her off and handle her funeral arrangements.

She may also leave half of her remaining estate to the person who takes care of things.

Her only condition is that they live under the same roof until she dies, so they can be sure to find her as soon as she passes away.

A few people came for interviews, one after another, but she didn’t choose any of them. Some even accused her of trying to get a caregiver for free.

With time running out, she finally settles on Zhong Hongxiu.

She needs money, doesn’t talk much, looks honest, and at thirty-five is nimble and capable. Most importantly, she agrees to live with her.

But how is she a con artist who specializes in swindling the elderly...

Emotional bonds that transcend age and blood ties.

Theme: More and more people choose to face life alone. When death comes, will we feel regret or acceptance?
