Editor's note: Three hundred and sixty lines, lines out of the elements. In ordinary posts, everyone is remarkable. Starting March 4th, Lightning News launched a series of special career reports to dig deeper into the stories behind people who are engaged in special professions.
Xin Shasha, a body beautician at a funeral home in Jinan, has been engaged in this profession for nine years. When the Lightning News reporter met her, she was holding oil paint in her hand and skillfully painting the makeup of the deceased to help them complete the last journey of their lives with dignity.
Recalling when she first came into contact with the industry, Sinshasha told us that nine years ago, she was an intern who resisted entering the plastic surgery room.
"The first time I entered the plastic surgery room, I met the body of a person who had died of a work injury. At that time, the master was putting makeup on the deceased, and I was next to it. At that time, I felt cold in the palm of my hand, and my heart was also very afraid. When I got home that night, I felt that I couldn't wash my hands and eat. Cynchasa recalled to the Lightning News reporter.
Originally, The original body beautician in Sinshasha's ideal body would be as elegant and beautiful as the movie "The Mortician". However, the huge gap between ideals and reality made Sinshasha retreat, and she secretly decided to survive the three-month internship period and change jobs immediately. But soon after, a girl in her 20s who died in a car accident changed her mind.
"One day, the funeral home brought a female deceased person of my age," Sinshasa said. She died in a car accident with several scratches on her face. At that time, the family asked the female body beautician to make a final farewell for her, and I helped her put on eyeshadow, lipstick, etc., and made a complete makeup. At about four o'clock in the afternoon, when the family came to pay respects, they saw the appearance of their daughter, and the family member threw himself on his knees in front of me. At that time, I couldn't accept it, and I felt that I had done a very ordinary thing, and I didn't expect to bring such great spiritual comfort to my family. ”
It was this gratitude that made Cynchasa realize the meaning of the job. "We let the deceased leave with dignity and dignity, which is sacred and meaningful to me," Sinshasha said. At that time, Sinshasha gave up the idea of changing majors. Continue to use the makeup case in your hand to convey comfort and warmth to the families of the deceased. Although the work is getting more and more comfortable, the work of Sinshasha has never been understood by others.
Sinshasha told Lightning News, "After four or five years of working, my parents have always been very opposed. Let me go home and change jobs. My friend and classmates got married, but none of them informed me. When I came to work on the second day of the Chinese New Year, the taxi drivers were reluctant to send me to the unit, and I was very depressed at the time. ”
Of all the voices that did not and against, there was one man who gave Sinshasha great encouragement. It is his appearance that supports Sinsa to walk this path more firmly, and it has been 9 years since he left.
"When I first met my husband, I was reluctant to tell him I worked at a funeral home. Then I couldn't tell him. But my husband didn't react as much as anyone else, but felt that this job could bring dignity to the deceased. Sinshasha told reporters.
With this understanding and support, Sinsasa worked harder. At the National Commendation Conference for Model Workers and Advanced Workers held on November 24, 2020, Sinshasha was awarded the honorary title of "National Advanced Worker" and the only "Mortician" in the country to be commended. At the same time, with the continuous change of the times, more and more people are beginning to understand the profession of body beautician.
"This honor made my parents re-examine my profession, and what made me most pleased was that my parents were willing to say my job in front of others. Including when I took a taxi a few days ago, the driver also gave me a thumbs up, saying that the little girl really had courage to do this job. Sinshasha told lightning news reporters.
As mentioned in the movie "The Mortician": let the already cold person be rejuvenated, give him eternal beauty. In the moment of separation, send off the deceased. Silence, all the moves are so beautiful. Life and death are the two doors that everyone must step through, and someone in front of the door will send you away with dignity, which is also a warm thing.
