An ordinary, simple funeral will do

Before "Life Matters," his works "Get Out! Mr. Tumor" and "A Little Red Flower for You" all presented reflections on and appreciation of life, and all were well received.

This movie is one of the few funeral themes in China, and when it comes to funeral theme movies, it's not hard to think of the Japanese film "Embalmer". On the big screen, there are not many works that face up to the last step of life

"Life Events" is one of them, but in my opinion, these are two completely different stories. The latter is a bit Chinese and hilarious, with a lot of fireworks and not enough candor about death.

Mentioning the word "funeral", I believe that we are not unfamiliar with it, and the first word that comes to mind should be - death

The word "death" is a word that is very offensive and unwilling to face in our mind. But in this movie, director Han Yan uses another special way to tell us about death, and let us have a certain knowledge of the mortician's profession, and full of awe.

Floral shirt, big pants, big thick chain, clip-footed slippers, walking in a big way, the whole a street sneak. Passers-by want to see him around the road, full of dislike: "hair dead man's money". He called himself "San", formerly known as Mo Sanmei (Zhu Yilong), is a mortician.

His ancestors have been in the funeral business for three generations, and because Mo Sanmei has been dealing with the dead so often since she was a child, she has become accustomed to death, and no longer even reveres it.

While the families of the deceased were burning paper money in grief, he would casually pick up the paper money in the fire bowl and use it to light cigarettes; he was also reluctant to spit out betel nut in his mouth when he was purifying the body of the deceased.

It is such a cynical and unproductive street sneak in the end he became a real "Mo Sanmei", but also subconsciously become a "father", to the ancestors of three generations of the identity of the undertaker is no longer escape.

Life is no big deal except death.

It's not that death is the only big thing.

Rather, it means that when you look down on life and death, there is no knot that you can't untie. Things can be big, and things can be small.

Man's life begins and ends with a cry.

Death is just a goodbye, it's not the end, because those memories and emotions don't go away and come back to you over and over again when you miss them.
