Moving House Reflection

The contrasting attitudes of the family catches my attention. Sometimes they pay serious respect to the dead, eg following the Daoist traditions, getting a priest, shielding the dead from the sun, but sometimes they do actions that may be deemed disrespectful, such as making fun of the bones and smashing the tombstone and the coffin. Another interesting point is that eventually the dead gets an “apartment” too, just like the living would receive from public housing using the land freed from the tomb.
