The funeral home, which is regarded as an extremely yin place, is a “horror place” that many people avoid. However, a post-90s woman in Henan, mainland China, praised “working the night shift in the funeral home” as easy and profitable, working all day. You can earn 16,00 yuan (regarding 7,046 Taiwan dollars). Although the film caused heated discussions following its exposure, the woman was immediately slapped in the face by people in the industry, and it also attracted the attention of relevant units.
According to Lu media reports, the woman recently posted a number of self-portrait videos, and said in the film, “There are 1600 in the last night shift. You don’t have to do anything when you lie down. When you wake up from sleep, you get off work.” Is it scary?” Stressing that working the night shift at a funeral home is not scary at all, and even arrogantly said “Gao Fushuai can’t keep up with me, I’m a rich woman.”
However, not only did netizens express doubts regarding the claim that her funeral home can earn 50,000 yuan (regarding NT$220,000) a month on night shifts, but the funeral home in Xinxiang City, Henan, where the woman is located, even said through its official Weibo that someone had recently “pretended to be an employee and made false remarks.” Relevant departments have also reported to the platform and coordinated lawyers to deal with the adverse social impact, so as to initiate legal proceedings if necessary.
The staff of the funeral home also pointed out that although the woman did not say that she was a staff member of the funeral home in Xinxiang City, the street scene in the film was the road in front of the funeral home, and the woman also told netizens that she was in Xinxiang, which was enough to cause misunderstandings. A night shift job that earns 1,600 a day does not exist at all, because the funeral parlor is paid according to the standards set by the local Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, and the actual monthly salary is only regarding a few thousand yuan.
