Plot Summary:There's a long history about China's funeral system, due to the reason that almost every traditional Chinese strictly hold a religious belief deep in their mind that the dead should always be honored and respected. However, now in the modern society, the newly carried-out policy of mandatory cremation done by the government might choose to ignore people's conventional views from a very large extent in order to reach the demand of modernized social development. So it is the relevant news that happened after gave me the inspiration and motivation of creating this script and film. Meantime I hope I can probe into its deeper side to figure out what on earth is the cause for this tough situation through writing this story. When dealing with this kind of serious theme, the first thing came to my mind was to use the narrative pattern of black comedy, using a story that seems absurd but actually reflects the existing problems of reality. The regular arrangements of the plots are also unfolding around illusion and jocosity. The arranged plots in this story about Liu's death have exposed the ugliness sides of humanity. The mayor, Old Wang and Gao, they all are the killers and the ones to be blamed for Liu's death. It is their contempt for life and the temptation for power that had driven Liu to end her life eventually in a heart-wrenching way.
