On this seemingly ordinary weekend, a 25-year-old girl, Xiao Wang, held a "funeral" for herself in Chengdu. Although this unique ceremony is shocking, it contains an understanding of life, a farewell to the past and an expectation for the future.
Xiao Wang's experience is not complicated, she has been a left-behind child since she was a child, not cared for by her family, and has always been in a state of mental exhaustion. She was frustrated by love, and when she talked about marriage with her boyfriend who had been in love for 3 years half a year ago, she was opposed by the other party's parents because of the distance, and she "broke up off a cliff". Such an experience is heavy for anyone, but Xiao Wang did not sink, but chose a unique way to heal his psychological wounds.
She worked in Chengdu and met a group of friends with personality and non-conformity, and their ideas infected Xiao Wang and made her concept change. After a friend teased "when to eat your table", she decided to simply throw herself a funeral. This seemingly abnormal behavior is actually a way of self-redemption, and she hopes to say goodbye to her past self and heal her heartache after the breakup.
On the day of the "funeral", she lay in bed, and her friends shared what she wanted to say, her views on death, the troubles she encountered in life, and so on. In this process, Xiao Wang felt not sadness and fear, but the love and support from his friends. This made her feel that she could finish her own meal, have no regrets in life, and continue to live forward.
Xiao Wang's story provokes us to think. In this fast-paced society, we may all have lost and frustrated, or we may have all had the urge to say goodbye to the past and start over. But do we have the courage and determination to realize our ideas like Xiao Wang? Will we be able to move on from our failures and setbacks and rediscover our meaning and direction in life?
The answer is not clear, but Xiao Wang's story offers us a lesson: we can choose the way we want to live, no matter what others think. We can also choose our friends who can influence our thoughts and lifestyles. At the same time, we can also heal the wounds of the past and start a new life through self-healing.
