Jie, you are back.

Jie?

You are back.

We met in Yanggou Village before.

My surname is Yang.

I'm Mr. He's comrade.

I took the liberty

to set up the funeral hall

with the funeral parlor staff.

Please forgive me if I overlook something.

Thank you, Mr. Yang.

Where is my mom?

She has been with He.

She is probably in the embalming room.

I'll take a look at the funeral hall.

Let me know if you need me to do anything.

All right.

Ms. Liao.

Do you want some water?

I... I'm not thirsty.

No, thanks.

Mr. He's 3-dimension facial reconstruction

takes some time.

You can look at the details

to feel more assured.

I'm sorry

to butt in everything.

Not at all.

This is just what we should do.

Take your time.

No rush.

All right.

Are these made

for those who died in accidents?

Yes.

3D printing helps

conceal all disfigured parts

as possible in the shortest time,

especially in cases like Mr. He.

Manual restoration

is rather difficult.

Can you understand this?

After the mold is done

and placed on the deceased,

we will proceed with facial makeup and detail restoration.

This allows the family

to see a familiar face

when they say goodbye.

This technology

is more advanced than over ten years ago.

My first husband

died in a car accident.

I'm sorry for your loss.

My husband

was pretty meticulous.

Please...

Please take care of him.

Don't worry.

I will.

(Great Virtue Endures)

(Return to the earth fulfilled, bless the descendants abundantly.)

Jie,

there is a condolence money desk

and registration desk.

He was a people person.

There must be a lot of guests.

If you don't have

any special requests,

I will handle it.

I'm fine with it.

Thank you, Mr. Yang.

Don't be so courteous with me.

Besides, you'll...

Jie.

Niaoniao.

Jie,

I lost my dad too?

Jie.

Mr. Yang,

if you have any instructions for us three,

please tell us.

Tomorrow,

we will send He off properly.

Someone has to go home

to issue an obituary.

Zhuang Yan will do this.

According to our local tradition,

it has to be done by the son.

Zhuang Yan will do it.

But I'm not Mr. He's biological son.

Maybe Niaoniao could do this.

Niaoniao is too young.

Some of the procedures

are too difficult for her to manage.

But I...

I'm afraid

my identity isn't suitable.

If Mr. He is upset...

Have you forgotten how Mr. He treated you?

He won't be upset

if you send him off.

He will issue the obituary as the eldest son.

All right.

Let's split

and proceed.

Mr. Yang,

don't worry about the money.

I will give Mr. He

the most dignified funeral.

Okay.

Let's go.

Zhuang Yan,

take Niaoniao home

and do what Mr. Yang said.

Come back here afterward.

We are going to keep vigil for Mr. He.

Mr. He,

I'm now going

to trim your fingernails.

It trims off

your worries and doubts

as well as

your mundane troubles.

Mr. He,

please move on peacefully.

My condolences.

Thank you.

Jie, please stay.

Thank you.

Just tell me if you need anything.

Thank you.

Take care.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I'm leaving.

Please take care, girl.

Having you all and your mom

is my luck.

(Registration)

Please put the shoes on for the deceased.

He, I'm putting shoes on you.

Mr. He,

if I really get recognized by the town this time,

I'll give you an appreciation pennant.

Sure.

That's right.

Mr. He,

I promised I would give you an appreciation pennant

if the town government honors me.

I had Niaoniao order this.

I planned...

I planned to hold a grand celebration

during the New Year

and give it to you.

It seems I can only give it to you now.

(Honor Mr. He Zhangyue the title of "The Great Man of the House")

Mr. He,

without you,

how will the family carry on?

You are not made of iron.

Get some rest.

Chen Maidong,

I have never once

called him "dad".

He won't blame you.

You don't understand.

You don't.

Mr. He is gone.

He is gone.

Don't cry here.

You will your siblings up.

Dad.

Chen Maidong,

do I really bring bad luck?

Don't say silly things.

I had already lost my dad,

so I cherished Mr. He very much.

I wouldn't dare to call him dad.

Still,

he has left.

My mom and I think

it's our fault.

Sometimes, the good die young

because Heaven thinks

they are too tired

and gives them an early rest.

I can't understand.

I really can't.

No one is born already knowing it.

I have been in this industry for a long time.

(It was only a few months ago)

(that I realized something)

(through a boy.)

(That the people closest to us)

(will one day leave us.)

For example, my grandma.

Zhuang Jie,

parting with our closest ones

may be a signal from Heaven

to remind us

that after the most reliable barrier disappears,

it will be our turn sooner or later.

Life has its limits.

That's why we should strive hard to live,

create, and love.

If life carries on forever,

it would be quite boring, actually.

But why me again?

Why does it always have to be me?

I'm sorry.

I can't answer that.

Chen Maidong,

have you ever

lost someone in your life?

When I was 17,

my best friend

died right before me.

His name was Song Ran.

When he died,

he was also 17.

(Before Song Ran died,)

(he called me.)

(But I missed it.)

(To be honest, I was just lazing around.)

(I was playing video games at the cyber cafe.)

(Song Ran)

(had never been in a fight before.)

(That was the first time.)

(So,)

even now,

I still blame myself

for his death.

You are saying silly things too.

No, I'm serious.

Every day since Song Ran's passing,

I have wondered

why it had to be my friend

and why I had to witness that scene.

If people die at last,

what is the purpose of living?

Do you have an answer now?

Someone

gave me the answer.

All right.

Your feet are clean.

You are clean too.

Stop messing around.

Those who are meant to leave will eventually leave.

You can't keep them.

Those who are meant to leave will eventually leave.

We can't keep them.

So,

you decided to enter the funeral industry

because of this man?

Yes.

He told me

death always happens suddenly.

Being upset is useless.

Someone

has to do something.

If so,

is he your master?

I have learned various professional skills

from many experts.

But only he

is my master.

(Vocational Skills Level Certificate)

(Vocational Skill Level Certificate)

(Name: Chen Maidong Profession: Embalmer)

What is your master doing now?

He must be retired.

Well.

He is gone.

He had bad habits

and no one was around to take care of him.

He called me at the weekend

and proudly promised

to take me to go hiking

when I return to Nanping during the New Year.

The next day,

he passed away.

(Beijing)

(At the age of 17,)

(Master sent Song Ran off.)

(At the age of 27,)

(I left Beijing for Nanping)

(and sent him off myself.)

(Because of Song Ran,)

(I refuse to forget about death.)

(Because of Master,)

(I learned to help more people)

(to leave this world with dignity.)

Zhuang Jie,

losing

is a way of teaching us

to slowly accept.

I know you are suffering.

But you will get through the pain.

Like you?

Yes, with me.

(Being mortal, we can only lessen our grief.)

Those who are meant to leave will eventually leave.

We can't keep them.

Being mortal,

we can only lessen our grief.

(Pardon us if we fail to inform you. The He family is in mourning.)
