"Grave real estate" beats real estate, my neighbor is not a person, and a modern version of "ghost story" is staged!
Do you think it's strange that some of the windows and balconies of your neighborhood are closed by walls? Don't you think it's strange? Don't these houses need lighting and ventilation? Are they comfortable to live in?
In fact, these houses are the so-called "columbarium", which we commonly call "yin houses", so all the doors and windows in the room are closed by walls.
So why didn't they bury the urn in the cemetery? Wouldn't it be nice to bury the deceased? If they have to be buried here, it's a last resort.
According to statistics, the price of cemeteries in mainland cemeteries has been rising over the years, and the increase has exceeded the housing price. Especially in first-tier cities, the price is even much higher than the house price.
For example, the largest cemetery in Guangzhou, Admiralty Fuyin Garden, a slightly better tomb,
Prices in first-tier cities such as Beijing and Shanghai are even more expensive than in Guangzhou. Even in other cities below the first tier, the tombs are between 2~100,000. It is said that the high-priced tombs are also quite popular.
This price is a great burden for ordinary people, especially those who live in first-tier cities, and it is no wonder that people often say "I really can't afford to die".
In the mainland, cemeteries are a monopoly industry, and the profits are higher than real estate.
In some cities, there is even a need to find connections to buy tombs, especially high-priced tombs that have always been in short supply.
Given the high cost of graves in these first-tier cities, many people have turned to smaller cities to buy property and place their family's ashes there.
That is to say, the situation mentioned at the beginning of the article, all the doors and windows of the house are closed, and there is no light in the room, turning the "yang house" where the living live into the "yin house" where the dead live.
Some friends even joked that his neighbors were not human, and spoke out about the bitterness of living next to these "yin houses", and the timid friends may not dare to live.
These "columbariums" are usually not in or out, and only on Qingming Festival or specific days can people come to mourn. As for whether these actions are legal, there is no way to determine at present, although it seems unethical, but it is also a helpless move.
There are 16 residential buildings in a community in Tianjin, and there are as many as 100,000 urns, and the windows of the entire building are closed, and plaques are hung on the top and both sides of the entrance gate, and flowers are inserted on both sides, giving people a gloomy feeling. The basement is said to be the most expensive of all floors.
Usually, these houses are divided into several small spaces, with layers of cabinets for the urns like the columbarium of a cemetery.
Some netizens joked that it is just right to transform the unfinished house into a "columbarium" community, which not only perfectly solves the problem of unfinished buildings, but also activates the real estate market, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone!
In fact, cemeteries have options such as flower bed burial, tree burial, lawn burial, etc., and some also provide sea burial, and the price is relatively cheap, generally between 2000 ~ 10000 yuan, and the state also advocates these burial methods.
Although many people still prefer tomb burial, they have also begun to accept the above burial methods.
Perhaps, how to bury is not the most important thing, what matters is the thought of the deceased.
