Recently, the “columbarium” has become a hot topic in mainland China. Party media and state-run media rushed to report that “individuals purchase commercial housing specifically to place urns” because “there are practical problems in big cities such as high cemetery prices, high management costs, and short lease periods.” But solving this problem can easily “cause disputes.”
Some people in the legal profession said that as a real estate sale, “knowing that the purpose of purchasing the house is to place the urn for memorial”, but “still selling it, or implying” that this can be done, “violates the relevant contracts of the Civil Code” “Relevant contents in the Effectiveness and Consumer Rights Protection Act”; as a developer, if it “develops “columbarium buildings” in a targeted manner” and “sells them as residential buildings”, it is “suspected of violating administrative laws and regulations.”
However, in the current era when the property market has become a pillar industry and the main source of government revenue in various places, will the judicial and administrative departments under the CCP block such a financial path? Moreover, with the support of the legal basis that “administrative regulations have no power to regulate civil legal subjects,” the government has even more reason to ignore it.
There must be some people who don’t like living next to a “columbarium”. But if “applying for coordination with the property management company or filing a lawsuit in court to request restoration of the original use and compensation for mental damage” was really effective, there would not have been a “group of property owners gathering to protest” in a community in Rugao, Jiangsu in 2017. This shows that the “columbarium” appeared 7 years ago (or earlier); so many owners protested, which also shows that there is more than one family in the community.
But seven years have passed. Not only are these alternative houses that affect people’s living experience and environment unattended, they are becoming more and more common. It seems that the government’s control has never been based on the living experience of home buyers, but on whether the officials can profit from it. Driven by the “government’s need to make money”, there were real estate speculations in the past, and later there were sky-high price cemeteries. Now, is it any wonder that “columbarium houses” are being put on the market?
No, some real estate sales people have publicly stated that “it is impossible to tell the buyer’s purpose at the time of sale.” This is “the same truth” as the “real estate speculation wave” in which “many people buy houses but do not live in them.” Some salespeople said that we “just sell the houses, regardless of their use.” It is also “difficult to define” whether the owner has “changed the use.” If someone asks if they can buy a “columbarium”, there will be a salesperson who will “recommend related communities.” Another person from the property management company also said calmly that if the owner of the “columbarium” “doesn’t admit it or is unwilling to change it,” they “have no good solution.” The words are so explicit that one can’t help but wonder that the official media’s exposure is not to criticize the chaos, but to advertise the government’s new product in the real estate market-“columbarium”.
On the other side, there is also “five cents” guiding the wind inside the wall. When I see some property owners saying that “the ashes ‘live’ across the street, no one would want to live there” and “living with a bunch of dead people” makes them feel “slightly uneasy”, “very panicked”, ” “I feel both sick and a little scared”, someone shouted on Zhihu: “I am a complete atheist (non-ghost theory)”, “If you feel “unlucky” and you can’t sleep at night, it means there is a ghost in your heart” “; Some people think that the owners are making a fuss out of a molehill. The reason is that “their homes are quiet, neither disturbing nor being disturbed by the people.” It mightn’t be better. Others directly “suggested that the government guide the establishment of centralized ashes communities,” saying that it would be best for “each family to build a house specifically to store family ashes. It saves money and trouble. And it is concentrated in one house. Descendants can also worship in a unified way. “Convenient”… Now that the public opinion has reached this point, it seems too ignorant for you to criticize the “columbarium”; the advertisement has already done this, and if you don’t buy it, you are likely to become a The target of public criticism.
Deliberately promoting the living and the dead to live together can only show that local governments are too ugly. After all, there is a surplus of housing and endless inventory. What the government is most worried regarding is being overwhelmed by the impending torrent of local debt. If you want to make money, you have to continue to open source and engage in moths. If you want to be corrupt, you have to continue to infringe on people’s privacy and housing rights. Although housing prices have fallen off a cliff and cannot be increased no matter how hard they are stimulated, as long as they do not drop to cabbage prices, mainland Chinese people cannot afford to buy a house with only a monthly salary of one or two thousand. As a result, local officials living around first- and second-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen focused on the leeks that still had money left there.
Some netizens revealed, “As early as 200x, many plots of land in Chongming, the magical city, were focused on ashes housing (maybe earlier, I won’t go into details)”, “A set of 100,000-300,000 yuan, more than 80% of the community is bought to store ashes. of”. Since it was not surprising many years ago, and since it has always been covered up and not reported much, what kind of business opportunities is this kind of “little scolding, big help” propaganda coveting now?
According to a Beijing citizen interviewed by The Epoch Times, from the beginning of the year to now, there have been many people in Beijing infected with the new coronavirus (Chinese Communist Party virus), and everyone “gets together and says, who is gone, so and so, so and so, so old is not too old.” “, and people “leave as soon as they say”, which is surprising. Just in January this year, another Beijing citizen told an Epoch Times reporter that “Beijing’s crematoriums and funeral parlors are generally very nervous, and you have to rely on connections (to get in line).” The crematorium “burns non-stop 24 hours a day.” “Many funeral homes are expanding.” He said that another sign that proves that a large number of people are dying in Beijing is that “you will always see people burning paper.” Therefore, “paper burning is now prohibited in all cemeteries in Beijing, and the government does not encourage paper burning.”
Of course, it is not just first- and second-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen that have experienced large numbers of deaths. At the end of 2023, an employee of an urn factory somewhere in mainland China revealed that because “I did not expect that so many people would die. Last year, more than 50,000 urns were made, and the warehouse had more than 50,000″, but only in 2023 ” “In the first half of the year,” there was “not enough to sell,” and at that time, “more than 10,000 urns were made a month, which was simply not enough.”
Such business opportunities will undoubtedly be targeted by the CCP, which monitors all walks of life. In this chain of interests, the deceased needs to be cremated, the ashes need a box, and the urn needs a closed space to place it. From the perspective of the CCP, crematoriums, urn manufacturers, shops selling bouquets, paper money, and even cemetery developers can all make a lot of money, and the real estate market with accumulated housing must also get a share of the pie.
What the CCP is best at is gnawing on human blood and making money from dead people. In order to make this kind of shady wealth, he did not hesitate to kill people. From the release of the virus to mandatory nucleic acid testing, sealing and control, building shelters, reselling relief supplies, and developing special medicines and vaccines, everything regarding this epidemic can kill Chinese people. Every link is preparing for the epidemic. The Zhao family delivers benefits.
The so-called “demographic dividend” is valued by governments that do not treat people as human beings. Mainland China is no longer the “world’s factory”. Cheap labor cannot play its role. The only things the CCP can obtain from people at the bottom are organs. Hospitals resell organs and can make living people brain-dead. Local governments and real estate developers sell them Selling land and houses to create a “columbarium” is nothing compared to the big deal. As long as the CCP exists, the people will never think regarding living in peace. If it wants to survive, it can only survive by cutting leeks. The CCP has no tomorrow, so it must be cut off today.
