[Explanation] On the eve of Qingming Festival this year, Liu Lifang, who worked at the Jiulongyuan Social Cemetery in Changchun, was extremely busy.
Liu Lifang is the head of the etiquette department of the cemetery service center, and it is one of his important tasks to replace the client's sacrifice.
On April 3, Liu Lifang came to a total of 8 tombs before 11 o'clock to complete the sacrificial sweeping service.
Liu Lifang introduced that since the launch of the "Valet Sacrifice Scanning" service last year, more than 100 orders have been generated so far.
Before and after the Ching Ming Festival, it is the peak period of demand for "valet service sweeping".

He (the client) needs to provide the name of the tomb owner, the location of the tomb area, the name of the contact person and the phone number. We will follow the order and our ceremonial staff will wipe the tombstone, present flowers, bow and other such a series of forms, and will do it.
After we are done, we will contact the customer and send the photos and images to them.
[Explanation] It is understood that at present, many places in China advocate people to cherish the memory of their ancestors through "collective sacrifices", "network sacrifices", and "valet sacrifices".
Liu Lifang has been in business for 20 years.
She clearly felt that the new customs brought about by funeral and interment transfers were gradually being accepted by people.
At the beginning of the work, Liu Lifang never took the initiative to talk about his work because of the taboos of others.
Today, such troubles no longer exist.

Maybe someone asked me what job you do. Sometimes at the beginning I was even a little embarrassed to say, because after I finished speaking, everyone might be surprised and even look at you with strange eyes. But then Including work experience, I feel that in fact, I think my job is quite proud of me.
[Explanation] Liu Lifang recalled that this year's Lantern Festival, she "made sacrifices" at night, and the dark cemetery made her a little scared, but when the blessing light was on, she realized the true meaning of this job-fear of life and warmth Life, service life.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, we must send the blessing lantern at night.
After dark, we can send each blessing lamp to each tombstone, and then light the blessing lamp one by one.
When I first entered the dark cemetery and walked back and forth, I was really scared, really, very nervous.
But when the lights are turned on, I feel a sense of accomplishment, and I feel warm and good.
[Explanation] Liu Lifang completed 8 "Valet Sacrifice and Sweeping" tasks. In total, she had to lean over and perform dozens of 90-degree deep bows. After the end of the day, she felt a sore back.
However, Liu Lifang will continue to devote himself to work in the early morning of the next day.
She said that she is "the transmitter of emotions and thoughts."

It is not simply a form. I think it should be a kind of transmission of thoughts and emotions. I think that as me, I am willing to be the person who conveys their thoughts.
