The dispute between cremation and burial seems to be obvious now, but it was still a very troublesome social problem at that time, and today the sharing fungus found a movie about cremation publicity, "Filial Piety and Grandson Waiting", although this movie has a certain publicity purpose, but a group of old drama bones make the screen full of laughter, showing a rather festive funeral.

Chen Xiao'er (Chen Peisi), who works in the Civil Affairs Bureau, has been trying his best to promote cremation, but the local atmosphere is still miasma under the leadership of his uncle (Wei Zongwan), and his uncle is a well-known local "big", who promotes funerals and uses usurious loans, and for this reason, he also seduces Chen Xiao'er's mother (Zhao Lirong) into signing a "burial agreement".
However, in order to pull his nephew into the water to promote the development of his burial industry, he found a fortune teller "life science researcher" to deceive Mother Chen that his late wife wanted to find Xiao San in the prefectural government and had to carry out a fake funeral to get a "hukou", so a big funeral began.
Originally, Chen Xiao'er insisted on being cremated according to laws and regulations, but under the slap of his sister (Ding Jiali), he could only obey, and his brother-in-law (Ni Dahong) became the wronged head of the money.
Under the arrangement of his uncle, Chen Xiao'er saw the dark shop of the paper tyrant disguised as a framed shop, and also discovered that the printing factory where his wife worked was actually printing coins, and the most outrageous thing was that the monk had to find an acting company to perform. All the superstitious industries have begun to transform, which can be described as another village of willows and flowers.
But in this process, the cost of the funeral is getting bigger and bigger, among which Chen Xiao'er's uncle cheated at both ends and obtained a lot of money, and Chen Xiao'er's brother-in-law's hard-earned money and Chen Xiao'er's son's tuition were spent on the funeral, but there was still a big hole, so there was a big contradiction in the family, Chen Xiao'er was ready to sell the house and take out a loan to hold a funeral, and Although Chen Xiao'er's mother lying in the coffin was also sad and inferior, she was also helpless.
On the day of the funeral, Chen Xiao'er found a TV station to secretly expose the violators present, and the funeral because the leading god-jumping people ran to the city randomly, and also collided with a couple of newlyweds who were married, resulting in a chaotic fight, but all this was resolved after the old lady "cheated the corpse", and after this incident, the old lady also understood the importance of cremation and no longer asked her son to hold a funeral for herself.

The appearance of this film is definitely a certain factor in cremation promotion, but the film does not dogmatically tell others about the harm of cremation, but lets everyone understand the impact of cremation on relatives and neighbors from the perspective of a bystander, and also allows the audience in front of the screen to see the process of how the "big" who handles funerals can go around and pit money.
But if that's all there is to it, the movie won't have such a good evaluation, another highlight of the film is that the funeral has become a comedy, whether it is Chen Xiao'er secretly contacting the chief of the section to want to be cremated, or the scene of the old lady holding urine and hungry in the coffin, the film is interspersed with a lot of funny laughs at this funeral, so that people can get joy and sad emotions in this film at the same time, which is quite extraordinary.
Friends who like it can collect it, although the picture quality of this movie is a little poor, but it can still bring a lot of joy when you look at it in your spare time.
