Where to?

The mortuary

Sure thing

Hurry up, I'm in a rush!

We're here. 30 dollars.

You fat ass

You have such ace parking skills

Stopping next to the manhole

Are you trying to get me killed?

Who stole the manhole cover?

This is the story of a mortuary

When we speak of the mortuary

Everyone would think of death

That's the way the living thinks

Someone once said:

A living person can already be dead

And a dead person can still be alive

We have to understand what the dead is thinking

to understand the dead

We should start by talking about the living

Wait

Let's start with the dead instead

Master Li

We came from that village in the west

Right, the brothers from the mountains

We need your help, Master Li

It's about our mother's thing

Should we keep it or not?

What are you two rambling about?

You are...?

I'm Master Li's son

My father has passed away

Passed away?

I was wondering why he didn't speak

Junior Master Li...

You've come to the right person

This is our family's business

When did your mother pass?

Seven days ago

What took you so long?

Our village recently received an official memo

The dead must be cremated to save land. No more burials

Our poor mother

She has such poor timing, even in death

Our mother had explicitly requested a burial

That day

We were ready to send our mother off

Many villagers came to pay their respects. It was nice.

Then the strangest thing happened

Suddenly

The clouds gathered

A gush of wind came

The flag fell

The incense was blown out

Everyone fell over

We couldn't even get back up

She must have been against being cremated

Mum's eyes were opened

Mum, close your eyes and rest peacefully

What should we do, Master Li?

We have to shift

You two take the coffin into the village

Find someone to take in your mother's grief

The person carrying the coffin

must roam around the village with it

until he finds that stranger

Bro, everyone is avoiding us

You must ask the stranger his name

If the stranger responds

Then the curse will shift to him

And your family will be safe

Look, a stranger!

He's just a child! Isn't it wrong?

You must do this before sunset

Let's choose him

Who are you, little boy?

I am Niu Xiaobo

The grandson of Li Tie the coffin shop owner

I'm here to see my uncle Li Qingsong

Uncle

Mum told me to bring you an umbrella before it rains

Here's some food as well

What are you doing here?

We need a blessing from a monk

Uncle took me up the mountain to undo my curse

Mum says I need to be blessed if I am cursed

I was struck by lightning before we reached the monk

Don't tell your mum or anyone else...

Xiaobo!

I was struck by lightning

And I fell into a coma

Xiaobo

Your father left us early

It's been the two of us since then

How can you leave your mother behind?

I need to wash Xiaobo's clothes

What are you doing?

Xiaobo is dead. Let him be

No. He's just asleep

No. Xiaobo is dead

Give him back to me!

Let go! Xiaobo is still alive

Xiaobo! Xiaobo

I knew you would wake up

It's OK

Xiaobo?

Have you come back to life?

Going up to a mountain during a thunderstorm

It's common sense that we'd get struck by lightning

We were ignorant. We didn't know simple science

There's no such thing as shifting a curse

It was just superstition

Doctor, how is Xiaobo

He should be fine

but there is nerve damage to his facial muscles

It was likely caused by the lightning

It's possible that he will never smile again

He'll never smile again?

Does that mean he's going crazy?

No, it doesn't

It's just nerve damage. It's not a mental issue

When he was struck by lightning

A heavy dose of electricity went through his body

The current caused irreparable damage to his nerves

But the damaged portion

will not affect his physical growth

He has only lost the ability to smile

Can it be cured, doctor?

If you wish to cure him

You will need to spend a lot of money

The process is also extremely long

So you will need to be mentally prepared, too

It will take some time with the current technology

Uncle left us

I guess he left out of guilt

"Half year later"

Xiaobo

This is a cure your uncle found

It's from an old doctor in the mountains of Tibet

It's supposed to cure a lot of mysterious afflictions

You have no idea how important a smile is

I must cure you

To cure me

Mum tried all kinds of strange remedies

But none of them worked

"Ten Years Later"

Mum

Your medicine is ready

Xiaobo

My biggest wish

is to see you smile once more

Xiaobo

When I'm gone

You have to live on happily

Even if you can't smile with your face

You have to smile here

Don't go, mum

Don't say that. Say "go in peace" instead

Uncle

I'm back

I have something to tell you

You have to find a wife for Xiaobo

Don't worry

Leave it to me

Xiaobo

When I'm gone

Listen to your uncle

Take your medicine, mum

The doctor says you'll get well if you take it

Mum

Mum

Don't leave me, Mum

You'll get well if you take your medicine, Mum

Mum

I'm moving to the city with uncle, Mum

His business seems to be quite successful

He asked me to work for him

I won't have to profit off the dead anymore, right?

Sir, where are we?

Are you OK?

He's dead!

Stop the car, he's dead!

Stop the car!

He's dead!

Get out and let them work!

He's dead

Speak

Just speak

What was that?

I saw you sleeping in the coffin this morning

You wouldn't wake up, so I put you in the car

If you still hadn't woken up

I would've taken you to the hospital

I'm not talking about me. What's with him?

He's my client

You're up, right? Get to work

What?

Put on a suit, then I'll explain everything

Is this one of those posh hotels?

Isuppose

Someone from the village worked in a hotel before

He says he often saw gangsters

negotiating business deals there

Are YOU a gangster?

Am I also a gangster from now on?

Do you think you look like one?

Gangsters in Hong Kong movies all dress like this

Gangsters should also look like movie stars

OK?

OK

I don't look like a movie star?

Your bag, Director Li

Such a beautiful coffin

Why does this hotel look like a mortuary?

This can't be a mortuary, right?

Do you know how to use this?

I've used it at a wedding once

That Will do

What am I shooting?

How did you use it before?

Like this

If you can shoot well, then you can do this job

Beloved family and friends

Mr. Huang Zhongren's farewell ceremony starts now

Please observe a moment of silence for Mr. Huang

Film it!

Beloved family and friends

Mr. Huang loved wine all his life

I believe all of you know that

This is why

Mr. Huang's final wish is

that each of you will share a drink with him here

I raise my glass

I think of you

Oh, my dear friend

Let's take one final drink for him

Bottoms up, everyone

Take another drink

Cheers!

Take another drink

Take another drink

Thank you so much

You have all done a wonderful job

Thank you very much

You're very welcome

- It's our job - Thank you

- Thank you - Take care

I'm so tired

This is for your work today

I wanted to sell coffins

It was the only thing I knew how to do

But mum wouldn't let me enter this business

She said there was a reason for

my inability to smile

It's because our family profit off the dead

That's just superstition!

You can't blame the business

Without people like us

The living won't have time to grief

Let me ask you

How do they find an appropriate burial ground?

How do they plan a funeral?

How do they send their loved ones off

with a proper farewell?

By relying on me

We are professionals!

Besides

Our money comes from the living

If the dead pays us

Do you know what that means?

It means we see dead people!

Speak

What's a pro fashion node?

Come on

I'll take you to your new home

This is called the road to heaven

The road to heaven

ls the deceased's path to the farewell hall

The farewell hall

is where families say their goodbyes

After that, the bodies go to the crematorium

You live at the Crematorium

What?!

I mean next to it

Here we are

All my business is done at the mortuary

That's why they let rne use this room

You'll live here

I've already spoken

with the people in charge here

You're my apprentice

And you'll study here

Right now, your job is to learn

You'll have to learn every process

Just learn as you go

I'll live here by myself, uncle?

That's right

This is your mobile phone

Remember, don't roam around at night

That's bad luck here

Hello?

Hi, how are you

Looking for a resting place? That's not a problem

Yes, we can find somewhere outdoors

Xiaobo, stay here tonight

I'll come by tomorrow

You've got the right man

I'm on the way right now. Just wait a bit

Hello?

Mum

I've moved to a new home

I'm doing well. Don't worry

Mum?

Is that you?

Xiaobo

The hospital is sending a body over

Send it to the make-up room when it arrives

OK?

Go on your own

I'm from the hospital. Sign here

Are you new here?

Right

You better watch your back

Watch my back for what?

Did you see a ghost?

Help me carry the body

One, two, three

Did you skip dinner?

Sorry

Give me a hand

Is this your first time?

I just started here

I mean, is this your first time

seeing a naked woman?

What's wrong?

You're a virgin?

I'll head back if there's nothing else

It's OK if you're a virgin. They have an aura that wards off ghosts

Let me ask you

Are there ghosts here?

Just don't roam around after midnight

You don't want to run into the old man

It's already midnight. What old man?!

- They didn't tell you? - They didn't

They didn't tell me anything

They just told me to come to work

Oh

It will cause panic, so I can't just tell anyone

Can't you tell me?

What's wrong with this mortuary?

Before you came

We had another employee

Like you, he takes bodies to the morgue at night

On his way home one day

He encountered an old man with red eyes

It was really, really red

Like they're bleeding

In the end

He fell ill when he got home

Then he quit

I can't tell you if it was a ghost

But everyone here knows

There's a body in the morgue

that nobody has claimed in 7.8 years

That body is that old man

He died of liver disease

And he also has blood shot eyes

Is anyone there?

Is anyone there?

This is too scary

ls someone there or not?

You're up

What are you doing?

I thought you passed out. Why're you running around?

No

There's a ghost. With red eyes

Ghost? With red eyes?

Guess what? He has a bluetooth, too

What?

That's Mr. Wang

He works in the Crematorium

He's been here for decades

He's burned more people than you can ever imagine

Sorry. The kid moved here from the country yesterday

I saw you passed out in the bathroom

But I didn't know who you were

I had an extra stretcher here

So I brought you over here to lie down

You had me lie down in the morgue

That's right

Don't be picky

Do you know how much one night here cost?

It's really expensive. Thank him

Thank you, Mr. Wang

You're welcome

It's that make-up girl

She says there's a corpse here...

That's right

No one's claimed it for 7, 8 years, right?

He looks just like Mr. Wang, right?

And that man

died of lung disease

That's why his eyes are red

Everyone in this mortuary knows about it

That's how she told me

She says his eyes bleed

You're talking about Bai Yujie?

She loves to mess with the new guys

Don't believe her

Alright, now that everything's cleared up

We have to do a funeral tomorrow afternoon

Take these clothes

and bring it to the make-up room

Go on

BaiYufie

It's for the dead person

Wait. Pick it up

You must respect the dead. Pick it up

My son

Tell them I'm working. They can wait in the funeral hall

My son

She wants to see the deceased for one last time

Help her out

Sir

Can't we clean his face up a bit?

Sir. Ma'am. I'm sorry

I'm working right now. You can't come in

Please trust my work

Give me some time

and you'll soon be able to see your son

If you really want to do something for him

Please wait outside

It's normal for family members to make this request

Have a heart and let them see him

This is the mortuary's policy. You should know this

It's the rules

Ma'am, I'm afraid I can't help you

Please wait outside

Stand in the hallway. No one is to enter

until I'm done here. Including you

You're cold-blooded

How should I put this?

You're cold-blooded. Colder than the corpses

Come here

What are you doing?

Look for yourself

He jumped off a building

If you can't handle it, how can the family handle it?

Now you see

why they can't come in

Until I have finished my work

I was beginning to understand

Sometimes

In some situations

Being cold-blooded is best way of being kind

Let them in

My son

Thank you so much

Don't thank me. You should thank...

Why did you have to do this, you stupid boy?

Through this

I began to see Yujie in a different light

The family wants him to wear this

Bring it here. I'll show you how to put it on

OK

I'm sorry about last time

I should apologize for scaring you, too

I do have guts. I'm not so easily scared

In our line of work

It's hard to find someone to talk to

So I like to joke with people

Those who know me usually don't joke with me

Give me a hand

OK

Why? You mind when people make fun of you?

No. It's because I can't smile

I was struck by lightning as a child

You know, that sounded like a joke

It's true

The doctor says the electric current

Destroyed the nerves that control my face

I haven't smiled since I was 1O years old

- Go over there - OK

That's why I'm working here

Because I don't need to smile here

If I'm a normal person

I would look for a better job, right?

Let me tell you a story as well

Once, there was a girl who met a boy

They were in love and about to get married

Hoping to give her a better life, he went into business

But the girl didn't want a life of luxury

She felt that as long as they were together

any life would be bliss

The boy's business failed

He began to drink

He would get drunk every day

He sometimes even hit the girl

The girl took it in silence

Until one day, the drunken boy

poured alcohol all over the girl's face

And then

He lit up his lighter

This job is actually quite nice

We don't have to see so many people every day

You're right, actually

People who work here aren't normal

You can't smile

and I'm a freak

You...you're quite pretty

Hello?

Xiaobo, the family has arrived

- Go greet them at the parking lot - Right away

Go ahead

Wait

I'm doing something important

If I'm late, then stand in for me

I've never hosted before

If someone asks

33V you're my apprentice

and that I asked you to host

No problem! OK?

Wait, what does "no prob" mean?

It means everything's fine. Repeat after me

No prob

I'm Li Qingsong's apprentice

He asked me to host

No prob means "everything's fine"

As for the instrictions and rundown

I will send them to your phone later

Memorize everything

Are you Niu Xiaobo?

Hello

The car you booked has arrived

Yes, I see it

Not that one. This one

An ambulance?

You called for an ambulance

Uncle? Why did we call an ambulance?

Our client lived in a home for seniors

A lot of the attendees today are senior citizens

If someone gets too emotional

Use the medical supplies I gave you for the simple cases

Use the ambulance for the more serious cases, OK?

One more thing

Sit them down and give them something to eat

Remember, mourning takes energy

You have to remain professional

Hello, uncle? Uncle?

With heavy hearts, we're here today

to mourn the passing of Mr. Fang Hongjun

Today

Today, we carry much grief

Because of illness

He's dead. He died of illness

You can't even remember a few lines?

You're so dumb

I'm not dumb. I'm nervous

Can't I just read it while holding this?

All I can say is that in my time working here

I've never seen a host speak while holding a script

Oh, no. I'm going to ruin my uncle's business

I've never been a host before

Give me your hand

Ouch. Ouch

Don't move

You've never cheated on a test?

Read from this if you can't memorize it

You'll be fine

ls everything ready?

We should start the proceedings soon

Where's Li Qingsong?

I'm his apprentice

He asked me to host today. No prob

What?

It means "everything's fine"

Alright. Don't screw it up

No prob. No prob

Dearly beloved friends and family

Dearfflends

I'm very hap...

I mean, I'm very sad

Let us proceed with Mr. Fang Hongjun's funeral

The clouds hang low, and the rivers are dark

Tears fall from the sky, and the earth cries

With heavy hearts, we're here today

to mourn Mr. Fang Hongjun

Mr. Fang left us on July 4, 2012, at 3pm

He was 74 years old

I would like to ask Mr. Fang's son Fang Darning

to come up and say a few words

Mr. Fang's son. Is he here?

Will the son please come up?

Is Fang Darning here?

Will the son come up?

Son?

Here. Here's Fang Darning

Beloved friends and family

Mr. Fang's final wish

was that his son, Fang Darning

would attend his funeral

Unfortunately

Fang Darning is in a very special place

To put Mr. Feng at peace

I resorted to a very special way

to bring Fang Darning here

Please look at the screen

Father

Father

I'm sorry

I deserve to die

I'm sorry

Father, please come take me away

You've been in my dreams these few days

I dreamt that we were watching TV together

It was that drama, "Good Papa, Bad Papa"

Let me sing you that song you loved

There was a good papa

He does the laundry, papapa

When he's happy, ha ha ha

Papa

I have a good papa

Oh, father!

The tree wishes for solace, but the wind won't rest

A son wants to do his filial duty, but his parents are gone

I now understand the meaning of uncle's work

The success of today's funeral

lbeHeve

is because of Yujie

Yujie

It's you, Yujie

Xiaobo

Don't be afraid

You were talking about Bai Yujie, right?

What?

You were talking in your sleep

No way

Are you dating Yujie?

No. No

She doesn't have a boyfriend

What does that have to do with me?

It's hard to find a mate in our line of work

It's best to find someone in the same industry

I have a cremation to do

What?

Isn't the Crematorium this way?

HEY

What are you doing here?

I know. Z2

I've already checked. Wait one moment

I'll take the hair to a lab

If there's any problem

I'll let you know when we have the results

I'll call you if something comes up

OK, bye

What test?

A lawyer called me on someone's behalf

He wants to confirm the identity of the corpse

I don't know the details

The corpse came in before I started here

Just ask Mr. Wang

Mr. Wang has his own set of problems

Let's go eat

Xiaobo

It'll be your birthday after midnight

Do you remember?

When you were young

Your favorite food was red eggs

I made it especially for you

Have a drink with your uncle

Happy birthday

- Cheers - Cheers

When I roll the egg

It will roll all your bad luck away

When I press the egg

It'll crush all the bad guys in your life

- This is a present, not your salary - So much money

This is too much

I'll buy you dinner

I owe you so much

It's my fault that you can't smile

I'm indebted to you for the rest of my life

You don't owe me a thing, uncle

I know you paid for my education

I know you paid for the doctors, too

When I was clearing out mum's things

I read the letters you wrote to her

You don't owe me a thing

You don't owe me a thing

You don't hate me?

I don't

I'm glad you don't

You're the only family I have left

How can that be?

You don't have a wife?

Not even a girlfriend? Someone you love?

I do

But I won't show you

Let me see

No

Let me see

Get up

Let me tell you something

This line of work is not easy

When someone doesn't want you around

You have to learn to step back

When someone hires you

You can't appear too happy

If you're too happy

People will say you're coldhearted

Trust me

To do this job well

You have to get used to

being friends with solitude

Cheers

When I'm gone

Can you see me off'?

If you're the one to see me off

You have to do it with a smile

Then you won't die for sure

Because I can't smile

Oh, uncle will never die

Oh, I can't smile

Why didn't you wait for me?

No

We're just warming up. Drink up

Don't mind if I do

Let me have a sip

Auntie?

It's Yujie

I only wear the mask at work

You don't recognize me?

You lied to me. It's not the first time, either

I didn't lie to you

I thought you said your face...

The boyfriend. The lighter

I told you that story

But I never said it was my story

That was your bias towards our line of work

You said that none of us is normal

But I'm normal. Mr. Li is normal. So are you

So is Mr. Wang

Where is Mr. Wang anyway?

Mr. Wang is always elusive

Forget him. A toast to us normal people

Cheers

Cheers!

It's getting late. I should go home

Oh

Mr. Li, I'm going home

Oh! Take her home, Xiaobo

Are you alright? You're drunk

What's the point of drinking if I don't get drunk?

Leave me alone. Get out of here

- I still have to sing - Have fun, then

I have to laugh like this

Otherwise, people won't know I'm smiling

She's the one, Xiaobo

Mum

What?

Did you just call me Mum?

You must be drunk

No. I saw you in my dream today

I became your mother in your dream?

No. I was...then you...

And then?

Then“.

Then...l can't tell you

You can't smile

But I can feel it here

The taxi is here. Happy birthday

Bye

Happy birthday

Uncle

You're the only family I have left

Uncle, are you OK?

Uncle

Uncle

Uncle

You're up

Why did you tie me up, Mr. Wang?

What are you doing?

Mr. Wang, what are you doing?

No. Please let me go

Mr. Wang

I beg you

Help me

What's with the noise?

Why are you screaming like that?

Uncle, you're OK

Mr. Wang wants to fry me

What are you doing?

I thought you were going to use acupuncture

To make him smile again

That's what I'm doing

Aren't you going to cure him?

I am curing him

With electricity?

Of course. How else can I cure him?

What happened to acupuncture?

That's to sober you up. It won't work for him

Fight fire with fire. Haven't you heard of that?

If you get bitten by snake

You use the snake's saliva to cure him

If he was struck by lightning

You use electricity to cure him

- That makes sense - Right?

No

I'm just afraid I don't have enough power

No,no,no

I'd rather not smile

Don't make me smile. Don't fry me

He's just playing around. How will this fry you?

Who's playing? Using electricity is pure logic

I don't care about your logic

You can't fry my nephew

I'll fry him myself

You want to do it?

You want to do this yourself?

Alright

- I'm going to electrocute you - No, uncle!

I'll fry you!

Fine. Do it yourself

I won't fry you

Uncle

Are you hurt? Why was there blood on the floor?

I just remember throwing up red wine

Ask Mr. Wang if you really want to know

Ask me?

Sure

If you want to know the truth

- Then let me fry you - No, no, no

Yeah, sure

No, no, no. Don't!

Don't do it!

Uncle, save me!

Xiaobo

Looks like we didn't have enough power

If we had enough power, I'd be able to cure you

He's the oldest employee in the mortuary

He's long past retirement age

But the owner feigns ignorance and lets him stay

When his wife died

He brought her ashes here with him

He hasn't left ever since

What about that story

about the bleeding eyes?

He's always in the morgue and the Crematorium

The alternating temperatures did great harm to his corneas

His eyeballs are filled with blood

He'll probably lose his sight eventually

Mr. Wang may also be developing dementia

But we are all keeping it a secret for him

Remember

Don't tell anyone, alright?

OK

Remember that

Happy birthday

Thank you

Do you remember?

Hey! Happy birthday

You know, the warmest thing in the world

is the embrace of family

- But I'm already an adult - Give me a hug!

Let me go!

- Give me a hug - Let me go!

Don't touch me! I've hit my head

What right do you have?

You were gone for 6 years. How do you think I feel?

I don't want to hear it

You can't come and go as you please

What do you take me for?

I never married, but it doesn't mean I'm waiting for you

You can see me when you're dead

You were arguing with your friend

Right

My boyfriend wants to come back to me

Why did you two split up?

Hansong and I met in mortuary school

He was the head of our class

Our personalities were similar

We fell in love

Became a couple

Everything was going well

That lasted until

Hansong graduated

He gave up being a mortician

He wanted to find better work elsewhere

Don't go. I just want to be with you

I can't spend my life in a mortuary

I want to give you a better life

I don't want a better life

You can find other jobs here

Give me 3 years

I'll come back and marry you when I succeed

I can't wait for you

What did you do?

YJ

Yujie

After Hansong left

I tried to forget him

I tried to start a new life

He works for a multi-national firm now

He's only back for a few days

He knows I'm still single

and believed that I've been waiting for him

He was touched

He bought rne a plane ticket and asked me to go with him

I said I didn't want to see him

unless he's dead

The mortuary business is not just about funerals

And uncle's clients aren't all dead

Thank you

I didn't expect us to meet so soon

The situation this time is a bit special

I understand

Xiaobo, take the coffin into the morgue

Wait for me. Don't open it yet.

- Let us talk inside - Sure

Sally came back to arrange her boss' funeral

Looks like it's a big business deal

Where did you go?

Have someone bring the coffin to the big hall

I'm going out for a bit with Sally

I'll bring you back some food. Go on

Our client is one of the richest men in town

The goal of his funeral

is to make people appeciate his accomplishments

It's a ghost!

It's really a ghost this time!

Come here!

He wants to eat me!

Give me some food

Don't eat me. My flesh is no good

I haven't showered for days

Come here!

Wait. I'm also a ghost

I'll take you to food

Stop pretending!

Sir

Why don't you run?

Both of us will eat you

Are you nuts?

Mr. Chairman. The dead doesn't wander around

He's my uncle's client

A living person arranging his own funeral

Why are you arranging your funeral when you're still alive?

The Chairman has taken great care of rne since I started

He was diagnosed with early stage cancer

He decided to forego treatment

And asked me to arrange a fake funeral for him

You wanted to know

How those around you see you. Right?

Don't you know

who loves you the most?

People always restrain themselves when talking to others

unless that person is dead

Those around me

They simply obey to whatever I say

Why?

Because I'm rich

They should all win acting awards

None of them can be trusted

Isn't this fraud?

I only sent invitations to a select few

I want to hear what they have to say

If I get caught, I'll just tell them it was a prank

That's right. It's not fraud

Mr. Chen has hired us to film the ceremony

He will use it for marketing purposes

Most importantly

Mr. Chen will bear all legal responsibilities

That's right

Life is like a film

But we can never see the final scene

Only after you're dead

will you know whether others truly cared about you

But when someone is really dead

How will he know whether people truly cared for him?

Everything will be revealed tomorrow

Whoo...

You won't think before, but won't know after

You mourn for him, but you never appreciated him

Now he has become ashes, scattered in the wind

Who the hell are these people

There's my assistant

Among the people I work with, only the small-timers are here

Alas, he has left us!

Mr. Chen Bin wishes each guest here today

Express themselves truthfully in front of him

Mr. Chen may be in heaven

But he will hear everything you say

I'm alive so I can see you dead!

That Xiaomi of yours is sleeping with me!

Mr. Chen, the tea you drink every day has my saliva

Take it easy. It's not good for you

Shit!

Seems like among the people you know

I'm the only one that feels sad

You still owe me money, asshole

Your company will be mine now that you're dead

Don't come back as human in the next life

You got what you deserved

No children to see you off. You deserve it!

Uncle

Get out of the way. Are any of you human?!

Mr.Chen

Get the hell out

Don't run

You all leeched off me, and now you curse me

Calm down

Get out!

I'm really an asshole, aren't I?

Everyone wants me dead

Money is all I have left now

No one will cry for me when I die

I deserve to die

I wish that my goddamn cancer had come earlier

Mr. Chairman, there's one more guest outside

It's a woman

You want to hear some more resentment?

I do

I'm here today to hear the truth

Let's see what she can come up with

Bow to him, Wei

Who is he, mom?

I've never met him before

This is an old friend of mine

Go ahead

Sir, can you watch him for me?

I want to be alone for a bit

OK

Come here

I came here

So your son can see you

His name is Wei

I had a serious infection

The doctor told me I might die

I had to leave you

I didn't want to be your burden

But life works in the strangest ways

When I left you

I found out I was pregnant

Can you imagine

that I would give birth to a healthy child?

However, I also lost my right leg

I think the child has a right to know

who his biological father is

Don't worry

I will raise him well

My biggest wish is that

One day, I can tell you...

The man in the coffin is right there. Morn!

...I didn't leave because I didn't love you

It was because I loved you too much

Xiaohe

Xiaohe, I'm still alive. Touch me

I'm still warm

Marry me

This is another story that ends with love

A wedding proposal in a mortuary is pretty unbelievable

Also unbelievable is that during the proposal

The grrom-to-be would be hit by his own son

Let my morn go!

Chen Bing decided to treat his cancer

He also accepted responsibility for faking his death

Xia Xiaohe said she's willing to wait for him

Always and forever

This just arrived. It's from a car accident

His face has been smashed into tomato sauce

One, two, three

What's wrong?

You said the accident was this afternoon

I'm not sure. I'll call and ask

Hansong

What?

It's Hansong

He called

He said his flight arrives this afternoon

What happened?

It's her boyfriend

He's your boyfriend?

I told him I wouldn't see him unless he's dead

I shouldn't have said that

I'm sorry, Hansong

YJ. Yujie

Hansong?

That's not right

His name's is Yang. Jackson Yang

He's also a YJ

A study abroad student from Singapore

The car accident was this afternoon

They've already contacted his family

They're coming from Singapore to claim the body

He's not Hansong

Yujie

I'm late

I'm sorry

How are you, mum

I think my heart got broken

But uncle said

I become an adult once I've had my heart broken

I will find a good job

I will also find a good wife

Don't worry

How can you let this happen?

What right do you have to cremate the body

Without the family's permission?

We wanted the body

- I'm sorry - Not the ashes

We'll see you in court. Let's go

Wait

You've gone too far

Please listen to me

Our employee is getting old

He's become absent minded. Please forgive us

I'm truly sorry

If this isn't my grandmother, we'll see you in court

It has to be

Get out of the way

Her body's been here for too long

The mistake was inevitable

I'm sorry

I beg you. Please forgive him

It was my fault

I switched the bodies

To me

A body is still living before cremation

I can't cremate my wife

I know my memoy is getting worse

If I can no longer see her

l---

I really would forget about her

That's why

I switched her with an unclaimed body

I would look at her once in a while

And I would just think that she's asleep

Sometimes, I would even talk to her

People think I can't leave this mortuary

The truth is, I can't leave my wife

The bosses have already been notified

They're going to force him to retire

ls there something else we can do

Where would he go when he retires?

A home for seniors

I'll donate my wages

Let's find him a nice home

Mr. Wang is strong

He said he'll go anywhere

As long as he's with his wife

He really does love her

You must keep working hard

I'm leaving everything to you

Where are you going?

Where can I go?

I can't leave the mortuary

A mortuary is the final stop in one's life

It'll be my final stop, too

Don't worry

I'll keep working hard

I aim to be a great mortician, just like you

Speaking of which

If I die

Don't do anything

I've already reserved a box for ashes

You just have to gather my ashes

You've been acting strange lately

Why have you been so morbid?

I've spent my life arranging other people's deaths

I don't want anyone to arrange mine

Forget it

Tell me

Who can put on a better funeral than me?

It's getting late. Get some rest

You go ahead. I don't want to sleep yet

I want to check on Mr. Wang

So dol

Let's go together, then

Sure

Locker Z2

What?

I can't open it

lfslocked

- Go shut it off - Where?

Over there

I found it, uncle

There's so many. Which one do I flip?

The white one

They're all white

He'll freeze to death. What do I do?

Let me do it

Uncle

It's freezing in there

I can't sleep

Xiaobo

Uncle

Uncle

Are you OK?

Where's my uncle? Have you seen him?

His name is Li Qingsong

Calm down

Have you seen my uncle?

He's in surgery

Your friend is already there with him. Don't worry

- Uncle - Xiaobo

Can you hear me, uncle?

Uncle

It's OK

Are you OK, uncle?

Is he OK?

Xiaobo

The doctor said the current didn't hurt him

He just passed out

He'll wake once the anesthetic passes

That's good

Xiaobo

There's something I have to tell you

Pancreatic cancer

They already found it half a year ago

Why don't you get treatment?

Medical technology is so advanced now

It can't be treated

If it can, then Steve Jobs would still be alive

Fortunately

Both Steve Jobs and I have some achievements to our names

You have to handle the funeral for Mr. Wang's wife

Remember, be professional

OK

Follow Mr. Wang everywhere

If you need money, I'll take care of it

Look at the trouble you're in

Yet, you still worry so much about other people

You should do something you want to do

This is what I want to do

Xiaobo

From now on

Live according to what your heart wants

Uncle

What?

Who's Steve Jobs?

He sells mobile phones

The funeral for Mr. Wang's wife

Will be hosted by me

Please say your final goodbye to your loved one

First bow

Second bow

Third bow

After he cremated his wife

Mr. Wang left the mortuary with her ashes

He said he's never traveled with her before

Xiaobo

I'm finally getting married to Hansong

Uncle passed away after six months in the hospital

I followed his wish and didn't hold a funeral

I gathered his ashes myself

Death is just a word

Whether it's called "passing over"

"Eternal rest"

"Demise", "Being in a better place"

Simply said, death is leaving for good

Only memories remain

Xiaobo, I'm off to see your mother

Take care of yourself from now on

I'm leaving you my business

I've taught you everything I know

By the way, I still haven't told your mother

about your job at the mortuary

Remember

A mortician cannot cry in front of others

Remember what you have to be

A professional

You have to be considerate

Your own feelings will be reflected on others

Whether it's the living or the dead

You have to be like me when you see people off

Do it with a happy face

Don't look like you're crying all the time

People will wonder whether they can leave or not

Hongmei, I want to tell you something

I knew I would be leaving half a year ago

But don't worry. Before I leave

I taught Xiaobo how to become a great mortician

so that he can take care of himself

Today is his first day at work. He's so smart

Also a little strange, of course

Just like his uncle

But he's different from me in one way

He has no guts. He's easily frightenened

Then you'd better watch your back

He encountered an old man with red eyes

Like they're bleeding

Don't worry. He'll learn from me with time

Hello, Xiaobo?

The hospital is sending a body over

Send it to the make-up room when it arrives

Go on your own

Remember, by yourself

Bye

He can take his time

Xiaobo's fallen in love

The girl he likes is called Bai Yujie

He even calls her by first name

How else should I call her

Miss Yujie?

We had fun celebrating Xiaobo's birthday yesterday

He met Mr. Wang

Mr. Wang is a bit strange

But he's a kind man

Xiaobo resents himself for not being able to smile

Now that he has friends

I hope he will grow some self-esteem

Hongmei, Xiaobo's heartbroken

Yujie is getting married. She's leaving the mortuary

Xiaobo's been depressed. Hasn't spoken for days

I want to cheer him up

I'll give him a hug

- Give me a hug - Let go

Come on, give me a hug

I want to play with Xiaobo

Can I?

Is it possible?

Xiaobo

Don't cry

I know once you see my videos for your mother

You'll start crying again

Don't cry

Remember, you have to smile

See me off with a smile

Turns out that I can cure you with enough electricity

I should've let Wang fry you

By the way. Burn this so your mother can see it in heaven

She hasn't seen any of these

Otherwise, your mom and I will pay you a visit tonight

Alright

Open the box that holds my ashes

Let your uncle give you a hug

OK?

Hey, Xiaobo. Can you hear me?

Open the box
