According to news on November 2, death is a major event in life. This is a life process that no one can escape. No matter you are poor or rich, happy or sad, it will eventually catch up with you, make you stop breathing, and finally turn into ashes with bone fragments.
Since ancient times, people have discussed death. However, unlike the past, where they avoided it, young people today seem to be more keen on it, or at least not shy about talking about it. Therefore, how to arrange your own funeral has become an equally important matter. After a person dies, it is naturally impossible to arrange his own funeral, so this matter can only be considered slowly during his lifetime, and whoever is still alive will ultimately carry out the last wishes of the deceased.
But death and accidents always come earlier than thinking and arrangements. Recently, a housekeeper who is engaged in the funeral industry shared an experience he encountered at work.
The deceased had no wife or children. The closet in his room was full of idol peripherals, and he could be said to be the ultimate solo promoter.
Ji had no way of knowing what the deceased was thinking. However, such a high concentration of solo push made Ji couldn't help but guess that maybe for this otaku, idols are an important spiritual support.
When leaving for work, would he say to that idol, "I'm out"? Will he say "I'm back" to that idol when he comes home from get off work?
Even if there is no one else at home, having an idol around may make him feel much more at ease - from the article, it seems that he has not disclosed his identity as an idol nerd to his family. The Polaroid, which is worthless in the eyes of his family, is his irreplaceable treasure.
What happened at the funeral can make all idol otakus moved. Although idols seem to be out of reach in everyone's eyes, in fact idols will remember the faces of people who often come to support - these people may often attend handshake meetings, or they may often stay in places where their idols can see them.
In the eyes of idols, people who support them always exist in their eyes, no matter what form they take. Maybe to this idol, this fan is like a close friend without actual communication.
Friends who have opened restaurants and have regular customers may understand this idea. There will always be those regular customers who don't like to talk but often come to the restaurant to eat. When they disappear, you will always wonder if something happened to them. This is especially true for regular customers who have distinctive characteristics or come particularly often.
They are no longer just guests, but part of life. I remember you, you are missing, I am very worried, I hope to see you again, without any interests involved. Even if it's just the last time.
Just knowing that the single-promoted idol cares so deeply about him, for that otaku, is probably enough to satisfy him in this life. And netizens also feel the same way.
After all, funerals are for living people. Living people need funerals to sort out their moods, and they also need funerals to bring a socially meaningful end to the life of the deceased. If he never knew the news about the deceased, the idol might have been restless and worried for a long time.
For the deceased in the story, it seems that he did not have the time or opportunity to arrange his own funeral. Precisely because the person responsible for the funeral was an understanding person, the idol had the opportunity to say goodbye to him, and his collection could be buried with him intact and go to another world.
This is the best condolence for the deceased. For those who are responsible for funerals, being able to do something for people who have similar hobbies or fellow funerals is also something that can make them feel satisfied.
Ji also thought about her own funeral. To be honest, Ji didn't want to die, but whenever he saw some related events, he couldn't help but think and imagine for himself - if Ji left, how should Ji leave her final farewell to her relatives and friends?
Ji thought about what song she would play at the funeral, but after much deliberation, it turned out that it was either anison or shulikou; of course, she also thought about how to arrange her own funeral so that it would not look so sad, and even have some personal characteristics. It would be better if there were some hell jokes; Ji even thought about whether to follow the popular joke before, inviting a man in black to come to the funeral to answer riddles and then leave gracefully, leaving behind a legend like a two-dimensional protagonist. After all, even if Ji leaves, I hope everyone can smile and relax a little at the last moment.
Of course, there are quite a few people who have the same idea as Ji. The house that bids farewell to its idol has returned to heaven. Living people will eventually move on, but things like this always give us more to think about. I hope that the idol can sort out his mood and continue to be the best version of himself, just like what otaku loves.
