2, Zhao Sanyue: New life insights of reconciliation with relatives
Zhao Sanyue is at odds with her mother.
The mother sent the grievance of her father's derailment on Zhao Sanyue, which caused a big gap between the mother and daughter.
Zhao Sanyue went to work at the funeral home to anger her mother.
because of the bridal shop opened by Zhao's mother.
The most taboo thing for married people is death.
Funeral Homes are places to do things for the dead.
But seeing more life and death, seeing more joys and sorrows,
Zhao Sanyue also has a new life insight.
has a deceased who was cut beyond recognition by his lover.
cleaned up the mess for him, and it was his wife who gave birth to 2 children for him.
The wife's self-confessions bluntly revealed the current social status quo.
give birth to a child, give birth once, and die once.
returned to the workplace at the age of 30 after giving birth, but was eliminated by society.
Obviously female stars in their forties and fifties can ride the wind and waves, but she can't?
If you are rejected by the workplace, then take care of the children.
As a result, her husband cheated and was hacked to death by his lover.
shit, but it's realistic. After
gave the cheating man a funeral,
Zhao Sanyue called his mother.
She whimpered and asked her mother——
【Why is the man who did the wrong thing, but two women are hurting each other? . The phone call
is like a torch, gradually melting the ice pick between mother and daughter for many years.
see the love in the world through life and death.
Zhao Sanyue learned new life insights from her work as a makeup artist.
3, a new progress that is gradually understood and accepted in the funeral industry,
death is a word that Chinese people avoid.
In the funeral industry, everyone can't avoid it.
However, with the broadcast of film and television works in the funeral industry, the public has become more and more aware of this service industry, and its acceptance is also increasing. In the
play, in addition to the funeral home, there is also hospice careNursing home.
is a taboo against death, and a hospice nursing home is opened at the gate of his community, which has aroused anger and resistance from the community.
However, as the public understands hospice care, it is gradually accepted.
why? Can
's deep-rooted concept be shaken so easily?
Because the public understands that whether it is a funeral home or a hospice nursing home, there is only one purpose -
[give the dying patients and the deceased the dignity and dignity they deserve. ]
As the line says -
hospice, is the goalkeeper of life.
The funeral industry is the ferryman of the dead.
For the dead, let the dead come and go with dignity.
For the living, live seriously, not live for the glory in the eyes of others, but listen to the heart and truly be yourself.
As the director of "Major Events in Life" said - [ Chinese funerals are actually to heal the living. ]
This is also the reason why "Sanyue has a new job" can win the audience's word of mouth and tears from the audience without any top streaming stars.
