  • Recently, Tianjin hosted the 2024 Shenzhou Funeral Technology and Culture Festival, which included a funeral clothing brand launch event, grandly named the "2nd China International Life Fashion Show." Banners at the event displayed slogans like "The Last Outfit of Your Life." The launch showcased hundreds of funeral garments, mourning clothes, and burial dresses.
    The video shows young male and female fashion models walking the runway in various brands of funeral clothing, including cheongsams, suits, Hanfu, Tang suits, and Zhongshan suits, along with many "stylish" designs. Various "high-end and elegant" funeral garments were on display, competing for attention.

    the fact that the funeral industry is doing well enough to hold conventions and sell booths should be a sign that a TON more people have died in china than they are letting us know about.

      - With stimulus and measures, China's debt will be at 400% to 500% of its GDP in the next decade, according to Reuters.
      -Chinese 🇨🇳 property Ponzi sector, which accounts for 30% of GDP, is crashing
      -Tofu Exports and Western imports, accounting for 37% GDP, are down.
      -Foreign investment is falling over 90% compared to it's peak in 2018.
      -Foreign visitors are down 96% compared to the pre-pandemic level in 2019 with less than 200 americans left.
      -Consumer prices are experiencing hyperstagdeflation.
      -Youth unemployment hits over 21% (in reality 50%+ after eliminating faked numbers), a record.
      -It's fast shrinking workforce is 10 years old than neighboring countries.
      - During the years 1990-2021, the US printed 6.5 time more money while China printed 147 times.
      - It has printed more money than the US and Japan combined, while it's economy is only half of them.
      - Current Chinese debt-to-gdp is already highest in the world, at 300%, according to Bloomberg.
      - This is a macroeconomic nightmare created by the party going way back in 1994 when they took the Tofu money off the international exchange. Now in 2024, the banks and the average little pink have no idea what is the ACTUAL value of anything within the country. Any stimulus from the Central state. will be meaningless and ineffectual because the Central Bank is a part of the Party. Thereby merging both fiscal Central and monetary private policies into one ongoing disaster. Local province officials were doing stimulus spending for decades in tandem of the "Economic Miracle" which will undermine any Central stimulus during an actual depression/recession or more accurately.. HYPERSTAGDEFLATIONARY NIGHTMARE.
      -- in the future house prices will drop to 10%, youth unemployment will be over 70%+ without streams, and middle class people over 35 will all be laid off.
      How will you do in a country where real estate companies, local governments, and banks across China have crashed or fled? That is your challenge for the future (will you own a trash house with the mortgage?). Pensions will be laundered and your daily pay will be 2 dollars.

      If it was legal I'd let my family dump me in hole wrapped in a old sheet in our yard. If I'm dead why the neck do I care about fancy caskets, urns, suits. And yes technically natural burial is legal in America but good luck getting it approved by your local city council. They always have a legal loophole that prevents you from burying family on your own land.

    My family is in the funeral industry so I find this fashion show to be quite refreshing.
    Death comes for all of us so why not normalize the conversations of death and dying. It is far more cruel on family and friends to leave funeral details until the last moment.
    Just because ppl do not want to talk about funeral decisions and details doesn't do anything to prevent death from coming

      People in the funeral industry have a great responsibility for caring for the grieving ones left behind. Really appreciate it when they do it with tact and beauty. It really helped us through the process especially when you are so distraught you don't know what to do.
      A good funeral home does it all, the preparation of the body, the legal matters of cremation or burial, organising wakes...etc. It was money well spent! It's a good industry, a service that is needed.

      But of course not to the extent of daily conversations. Maybe when a family member has some last stage cancer and incurable illness and has last 6 months to a year to live, then such conversations and planning can start. Or if a family member who is very old(80 and above), such an age could start discuss and plan for funeral. We can't be having such daily conversations to teenagers or younger
