Ma Yaoyao was originally an excellent student, and under the careful cultivation of her mother, she was diligent and studious, and had great ambitions.
Her ideal university is Fudan University, a well-known university in Shanghai, and as long as she performs normally in the college entrance examination, I believe that it is not impossible to be admitted to this school.
Who would have thought that the hand of fate always likes to joke! Just when the college entrance examination that determines the direction of life was approaching, Ma Yaoyao was suddenly troubled by inexplicable abdominal pain.
Her mother took her to various hospitals countless times to seek treatment, but regrettably, the cause was never found.
The mother's heart was full of anxiety and worry, for fear that her daughter's physical condition would affect the crucial college entrance examination.
As predicted, on the morning of the first day of the college entrance examination, Ma Yaoyao's abdomen was in sharp pain again. Although she managed to complete most of the paper, she had a premonition that the exam might end in failure before it was over.
As a result, the following subject exams have been greatly affected.
At the moment when the results were announced, Ma Yaoyao was shocked to find that she was only barely admitted to one of the three colleges. Originally, she was looking forward to being able to enter the second university, and even dreamed of stepping into the dream Fudan University.
Despite the loss in her heart, her mother did not reproach her, but comforted her with warm and firm words to keep her from grieving excessively.
After Ma Yaoyao's mood gradually calmed down, her mother began to look for a new direction for her. She is well aware that it is difficult for traditional popular majors to arouse the interest of young people.
So, she consulted an expert in career planning, and the expert did not hesitate to recommend the funeral profession to her.
The expert assured Ma Yaoyao's mother that the employment prospects of this major are very broad, and the salary package is quite superior.
At first, Ma Yaoyao was a little hesitant about this seemingly "unlucky" profession, but under the patient persuasion of her mother, she finally mustered up the courage to choose this unique major.
Her mother has always wholeheartedly supported and encouraged Ma Yaoyao. When Ma Yaoyao faced a human anatomy course at school, she once wanted to give up because she couldn't stand the rancid smell of the body.
Her mother gave her timely encouragement and helped her regain her courage, and it was because of her mother's guidance and care that Ma Yaoyao was able to bravely face this profession and devote herself to her studies.
During their time at the school, Ma Yaoyao and Xin Shasha did their best to learn professional knowledge and skills, including how to properly dispose of human remains, repair injuries, and so on. They have grown from novices who know nothing about death to skilled mortuals.
During her internship, Ma Yaoyao experienced the body of a four-year-old boy for the first time. Although the corpse's face was only slightly bruised and bloodied, the damage to the back was severe and difficult to repair.
Faced with such a weak and innocent little body, Ma Yaoyao had great admiration and carefully carried out every operation, lest it hurt his sore spots.
After three hours of unremitting work, she completed the complete cleaning, delicate makeup and meticulous restoration of the body independently. The moment she pushed the boy out of the operating room, she saw his mother's tearful eyes and her expression in a trance, as if she was going to faint at any moment.
At that moment, Ma Yaoyao deeply realized that her mission was not only to make the deceased die in the most solemn posture, but more importantly, to give the family the greatest respect and comfort.
In contrast, when Xin Shasha first got involved in the disposal of corpses, he was often so smoked by the foul smell that he couldn't help but vomit. When she got home from work one day, she even took a shower dozens of times until her skin was broken, but she still couldn't eliminate the smell of corpses on her body.
However, even in the face of such intense work pressure, she never had the intention of backing down.
After entering the workplace, they encountered one serious challenge after another. Ma Yaoyao once took over a tragedy in which half of the deceased's face was removed. Lacking the necessary materials for the restoration, she had to temporarily lease cotton and plasticine for four hours to shape them.
When the work was completed, the family members couldn't help but cry with joy when they saw the reappearance of their loved ones, and expressed their heartfelt gratitude to Ma Yaoyao. At that moment, she deeply realized the profound meaning and great value of this profession.
In contrast, Xin Shasha's situation was more difficult. In the early days of her career, she was ruthlessly evicted from her home by her landlord for being a funeral home worker, and she had to stay at the funeral home for one night.
When she took a taxi the next day, the driver refused to take her on the taxi because of her special status. At a farewell ceremony, she was saddened to hear a family member accuse her of "choosing an unspeakable job" in front of her children.
Despite being misunderstood and hurt by all walks of life, Ma Yaoyao and Xin Shasha have always been steadfast and stick to their original beliefs. Ma Yaoyao once sighed: "Life in the world, except for life and death, the rest are like clouds of smoke."
With perseverance and unswerving determination, Xin Shasha, who is constantly striving for self-improvement, finally won the supreme honor of "National Advanced Worker". Years of hard work have made her have a deeper understanding and unique perception of this profession.
When Xin Shasha was awarded the high honor of "National Advanced Worker", her family and friends began to realize the great value and far-reaching significance of the profession of mortuary.
However, before that, few people knew about the hardships and tears she had experienced.
In the early years of her career as an undertaker, she endured reproach and ridicule from her family and friends. The first to oppose her was her biological mother.
Her mother angrily accused her of choosing a "despicable" profession and even threatened to sever the relationship between mother and daughter, but Xin Shasha always stuck to her post.
Even when she was in college, her family intervened many times to persuade her to give up this "unlucky" major. However, Xin Shasha has a stubborn personality since he was a child, and once he makes up his mind, no one can shake it.
After entering the workplace, Xin Shasha was repeatedly discriminated against and neglected by the outside world. Once, after being discovered by the landlord in the middle of the night to be a funeral home worker, he was ruthlessly evicted from the rented house and had to temporarily live in the funeral home.
The next morning, she had to take a taxi to her work, but the taxi driver, when he learned about the nature of her work, refused to pick her up, leaving her in a deep predicament.
The most heart-wrenching time was at a solemn farewell ceremony. When Xin Shasha heard that a family member had slandered her in front of her children for "choosing a shameful job", her heart was filled with endless grief and indignation.
It took her four years to grow from a lack of knowledge of the profession to a skilled undertaker, but the outside world ignored her efforts and belittled them.
Xin Shasha was full of emotion, from the initial obscurity to the final national honor, she proved the value of the profession of mortuary with practical actions. After receiving this award, her family and friends finally stopped questioning it, but felt extremely proud and proud of her.
Xin Shasha is deeply relieved that she has finally won the respect and recognition of the public.
As veteran undertakers, Ma Yaoyao and Xin Shasha must deal directly with the cold and stiff bodies every day, which may be a taboo and unlucky field for ordinary people.
For them, however, the vocation of the profession is to offer the last dignity and decency to those who have departed.
Ma Yaoyao can still vividly recall the remains of a four-year-old boy that she had disposed of with her hands. Although there were only a few abrasions and blood marks on his face at a young age, his back was miserable and difficult to repair.
Faced with such an immature and innocent life, Ma Yaoyao's heart was filled with deep awe, lest any negligence of her would touch his pain.
So, she carefully carried out every step of the cleaning and repair operation, and silently persevered for three hours alone, and finally repaired the body perfectly.
When Ma Yaoyao returned the boy's body to his anxiously waiting mother, she saw that the mother's eyes were already swollen from crying, and she was in a trance, as if she might faint at any time.
Witnessing this scene, Ma Yaoyao felt deep sympathy and deeply understood that her duty was not only to let the deceased rest in peace, but more importantly, to comfort the hearts of the family, so that this life could come to a successful end.
As for the restoration of a woman's body with a severely damaged face, it has undoubtedly become a major challenge in Ma Yaoyao's career.
Initially, she received a simple request from her family to restore the face of a woman in her forties, but when she saw the body with her own eyes, she realized that half of her face was gone.
Before her death, the woman unfortunately suffered from oral cancer, and in order to save her life, doctors had no choice but to remove part of her face.
Faced with such a dilapidated appearance, Ma Yaoyao was stunned for a while, and she did not have enough restoration materials in her hands, so she had to ask her family for help and buy some cotton and plasticine.
With the help of these seemingly simple materials, Ma Yaoyao poured more than four hours of hard work and meticulous carving, and finally succeeded in restoring the woman's original appearance.
When the family members saw the faces of their relatives again, they couldn't help but cry with joy, and expressed their heartfelt gratitude to Ma Yaoyao and admired her exquisite skills.
At that special moment, she sincerely felt that her work was not only to bring to rest those who are no longer alive, but more importantly, to free those who are still alive from their endless grief, so as to shape a perfect end to those lives that have ended.
