"Funerals" is aspect in this book that strikes me most. Compare with other ceremonies, such as birthday and wedding, the chance for us to attend funeral is much smaller. Funeral is a sorrowful ceremony since it symbolises the death of our friends and relatives. Luckily, i have just attended this kind of ceremony once only. As i didn't know anything about this ceremony, i got many questions when i attende the funeral of my relative last year. However, all the question were answered after i have finished this book.
Do you know what are inside the white envelope which withred chinese charcters on it? In the envelope is a handkerchief, a piece of candy, and a dollar.The handkerchief is to wipe away tears of sorrow, or when walking to the burial ground, to wipe the perspiration. By eating the piece of candy, all the bad"taste" of the death is taken away, and good luck comes. The money is for bus fare to return home and is never carried home, as it is considered unlucky money. Other things from the funeral will throw it away before reaching home.
Apart from this, there are also some rules that even more serious and we must obey. Not just only prevet us from getting bad luck, obey the rules also show our respect to the dead person.
Funeral is one of the most important experience of our life in the cantonese culture. This book tells us the knowledge that we seldom intouch but we must know. Therefore, this aspects strikes me most.
