Every year, Halloween is a "good" day for foreigners to be happy and demonized every year.
As the closest thing to the human world in the western traditional culture,
On this day, Europeans and Americans usually dress up in various types of "thriller outfits" to scare away evil ghosts.
So there's only one day.
Only then can you play the role of "demon" to intimidate neighbors without being hammered.
As early as a few days before Halloween, there were already many foreigners rubbing their fists,
Presented this year's Halloween "surprise" -
Some took months off to reproduce the most realistic corpse of the bride Emily.
Others designed the evil skeleton dog cannibal scene.
And some are well versed in the essence of making people adrenaline soar,
Knowing the real "fright" is often hidden in the most inadvertent places.
Some people have also done their best to win over their neighbors...
However, in addition to these traditional programs,
In recent years, burning coins has become a new way for foreigners to spend Halloween.
According to Sina Finance,
A town in Hebei Province, which produces funeral supplies, has made a dollar version of the coin that became popular overseas.
The town, which has a "global underground financial center", is located in Mibeizhuang, Hebei Province, China.
Mibeizhuang, it sounds like a small place of obscurity,
But as the country's largest wholesale market for funeral supplies, its name is really not small -
Like what "Funeral Village No. 1", "Street of the Dead", "Hades World Bank" and so on...
According to reports, nearly half of the funeral supplies sellers on the 1688 platform are from Mibeizhuang.
Then with the blessing of the e-commerce platform, the annual output value of the funeral business of Mibeizhuang can reach billions of yuan,
It has almost monopolized 90% of the global papier-mâché sacrifice market.
Here, the living have something, and the dead have it.
Daily necessities, luxury goods, coins, and even luxury cars and villas are readily available,
Those who are not blessed to enjoy before they are born will all be arranged for you after death.
However, here, the most popular is all kinds of "simulated coins".
Even as long as you have a demand, and the order is large enough,
The coin with the head of the star Oba is not impossible to make.
Due to the extremely high-end production level, the coins here are also exported overseas and are deeply loved by foreigners.
It is said that for every 10 coins sold worldwide, 9 are produced here.
In foreign countries, the $1,000 version of the coin sells for $16.99 in a stack overseas, dozens of times the domestic price.
But even so, Pluto is still selling hot overseas.
There are also foreigners who specially shoot videos to teach foreigners how to burn coins in a fancy way.
They believe that burning coins can send mourning, welcome the New Year, and enhance fortune.
Consumers in the UK, Spain, Switzerland, and Lebanon have bought it all!
Looking closely at the comments of some social platforms, it is really a mystery of metaphysics...
Someone burned paper money and won the big lotto the next day.
Some people said that soon after paying homage to their ancestors, they received a financial aid and returned to campus...
Emmm... In any case, this is also a different kind of cultural output,
Pluto is the most popular, naturally there is also a reason for its existence -
After all, in this world, it can not only honor the ancestors, but also satisfy the dream of sudden prosperity in everyone's heart, and it is the only one...
