One spring day in 1985, at the age of 32, Zhang Ming decided to quit his years of work as a civil servant and devote himself to a funeral home. This decision made his wife Li Juan feel very puzzled and disapproving.
"Are you crazy? Why do you want to do such a gloomy job? You should find a better job. Li Juan frowned, her tone full of disapproval.
Zhang Ming patiently explained: "My dear, I know that this job may not look decent, but I really feel that this job is very meaningful. I can offer the last respects and comfort to the deceased and the family, which makes me feel that my work is worthwhile. "
Li Juan still couldn't understand Zhang Ming's thoughts, "But this kind of work will affect our quality of life, you should think about it." "
Zhang Ming sighed, he knew that it would not be easy to convince Li Juan. But his conviction made him determined to persevere.
"My dear, I understand your concern. But I really feel that this job is for me, and it allows me to find meaning in my work. I hope you will understand and support me. "
In this way, Zhang Ming officially entered the funeral home work. At first, he did need to adapt to his new job. However, under the guidance of his colleagues, he gradually mastered various funeral knowledge and skills, such as how to prepare the body, how to decorate the mourning hall, how to organize the funeral, etc.
However, Li Juan still couldn't understand it. She frowned and said, "But this kind of work is too gloomy, I think you should go find a more decent job." "
At the beginning, Zhang Ming really needed to adapt to this new job. However, under the careful guidance of his colleagues, he quickly mastered various funeral knowledge and skills, such as how to prepare the body, how to decorate the mourning hall, how to organize the funeral, etc.
"It's a very different job than what I've done before, but I've found myself getting more and more hands-on. Zhang Ming said to his wife Li Juan, "Whenever I see family members mourning the deceased at the funeral, I will have an indescribable resonance in my heart." I feel that as a funeral worker, I can provide the last respect and comfort to others, which makes me feel that my work is meaningful. "
However, Li Juan still couldn't understand Zhang Ming's thoughts. She frowned and said, "But this kind of work is too gloomy, and I think you should go find a more decent job." "
Zhang Ming sighed helplessly, "My dear, I know you may not be able to understand my thoughts. But this job has allowed me to find meaning in life, and I really enjoy it. I hope you can support me. "
Li Juan was silent for a long time, and finally nodded, "Okay, since you have decided, then I also respect your choice." But I hope you'll think about it. "
Zhang Ming looked at Li Juan with relief and held her hand, "Thank you, dear." I promise I'll do a good job. "
In this way, Zhang Ming, with the support of his wife, gradually adapted and devoted himself to his new work. He found himself feeling an indescribable satisfaction with the job.
One day, Zhang Ming received a phone call saying that their daughter had fallen and injured herself at school and needed him to pick her up immediately. He rushed to the school and found that his daughter had only bruised her knee and was fine. To his surprise, Li Juan also rushed over. Both of them nervously checked their daughter's injuries, and this shared worry and care brought their hearts closer.
"I'm glad you came too. Zhang Ming held Li Juan's hand and said gratefully.
Zhang Ming smiled and said, "It's okay, my dear. I know you've been worried about me. But I hope you can understand that this job is very rewarding for me. I can offer the last respects and comfort to the deceased and the family, which makes me feel that my work is worthwhile. "
Li Juan was silent for a moment, and finally nodded, "Okay, I'll try to understand your thoughts." "
It was after this accident that Li Juan's attitude changed somewhat. She began to take the initiative to inquire about Zhang Ming's work and expressed her willingness to learn more.
Zhang Ming happily explained: "We first have to carefully wash the body, and then use special cosmetics to embellish it so that the deceased looks peaceful and peaceful. The decoration of the mourning hall is also very particular, and we have to choose flowers and decorations according to the preferences of the deceased, so that the whole space looks solemn and warm. "
Li Juan listened carefully and nodded, "So that's the case." I couldn't understand your work at all before, but now I find it really meaningful. If you feel that this job is right for you, I support you to keep going. "
Zhang Ming looked at Li Juan with relief and held her hand, "Thank you, dear." I'll work well. "
Since then, Li Juan has developed a greater understanding and recognition of Zhang Ming's work. She began to take the initiative to care about his work situation and give him support and encouragement. The conflict between them has gradually been resolved, and they have begun to regain their former intimacy.
Through this incident, Zhang Ming has a deeper understanding of the significance of his work.

Li Juan nodded, "I understand your thoughts." As a husband and father, there is no doubt about your love for your family. I'm very proud of you and support you on this path. "
With the understanding and support of his wife Li Juan, Zhang Ming has become more and more confident and enthusiastic in funeral work.

Zhang Ming looked at Li Juan with satisfaction, and the two looked at each other and smiled. He knew that with his wife's understanding and support, he would be able to do better and better in this job.
Soon after, an old man died. Zhang Ming was in charge of preparing the old man's body. He carefully cleaned and groomed to make the old man look serene and peaceful. He also carefully selected the old man's favorite flowers and arranged a warm and solemn mourning hall.

One day, Zhang Ming received a special funeral mission. A famous artist has passed away, and his family wants to be able to hold a solemn and warm funeral for him.
Zhang Ming carefully understood the artist's life and preferences, and carefully planned the entire funeral process. He chose the artist's favorite flowers and invited the artist's friends to participate in the decoration of the mourning hall.
