Guo Dongxiu, a representative of the funeral industry in Taiwan Province Province, died of various cancers. He has published a new book, Farewell in the Night, which reflects his mixed outlook on life. (Photo courtesy/Sancai Culture) The legendary life from big brother monga to etiquette personnel.
In Guo Dongxiu's autobiography "Farewell in the Night", it is mentioned that when he was young, he joined a gang because he was too young to understand, committed the crime of murder and spent 10 years in prison. After this incident, he decided to wash his hands of it and set up a special funeral company to change the long-standing bad habits of the funeral industry in Taiwan Province Province and turn to "transparent and open charging". In addition, he began to deal with the burial of unknown bodies, which is the last thing the general funeral industry wants to deal with. During his more than 20 years in the funeral industry, he sent away more than 2,000 nameless bodies and was praised by Taipei City.
From the process of funeral, I learned how to serve my life and tell me how to be kind. When I see people in need, I use my major to help them, or go to the scene of the accident to help them collect general information, and also learn to help the police find evidence of murder.
Even now, people know me not because I am a gangster, but because I planted and got it in recent years. Everyone knows that I am a professional undertaker. Now, I know very well that what I do is actually the service industry!
Attaching importance to family ties in old age makes up for the shortcomings of the past.
From the boss on the street corner to the owner of the funeral industry, Guo Dongxiu washed his hands and stopped wandering the rivers and lakes. Generally speaking, since his life has been stable, he should have many opportunities to get along with his family. However, when he started to contact the funeral industry, apart from the difficulty of starting a business, in order to achieve the personalized and humanized service he pursued, he had no extra time to accompany his family.
He once said that he only raised children for education and did not teach them. It was not until his wife who had been with him for many years died that he began to regret not spending more time with his family and began to spend time communicating with his children.
I don't want anything.
In my life, I have experienced more ups and downs than others, and I have seen more about where you will go. Looking back on the road of life, there is no complaint, only full of gratitude.
Guo Dongxiu said: "Looking back on the journey of life, there is no complaint, only full of gratitude. (Photo courtesy/Sancai Culture) With gratitude for life, he said: "People can only walk once, and there is no way to start again. He knows very well that few people's lives can be as wonderful as theirs. I feel that I am luckier than others. I have stepped on the stage of life from a marginalized person. This stage is so vast that it has helped so many people. Although it seems that my family is far away from me at present, I seem to have returned to another reincarnation like my father lost me.
He said that now, my values about life have begun to change, because from now on, my goal is not only to work hard, but also to spend more time on myself, care more about my son and live a simpler life than before. Perhaps, as he said in the book, "I have experienced everything, and I don't lack anything I deserve." Everything is fate, don't force it! "Is the best portrayal of the end of his life.
