"Unfilial son! Why did you laugh and scold at your mother's funeral?"
"I didn't finish the old man's last journey, and his performance was too inappropriate, right?"
"There is no even the most basic respect, it is simply insulting the will of the deceased!"
When the 91-year-old lady Dai Yuzhi passed away peacefully, her son Dai Yuqiang actually played a "hippie smile" at his mother's funeral. After this scene was exposed, it immediately sparked huge controversy and condemnation on the Internet, and many people condemned Dai Yuqiang for being "rich and capricious" and "lacking in education".
Is that really the case? Let's hold our emotions and calm down and seriously reflect: Who is this person who is scolded as an "unfilial son"? What did you do out of the ordinary?
Dai Yuqiang's history of fame and emotional experience
The man who was questioned was none other than Dai Yuqiang, a well-known legend in the music world. He has dreamed of music since he was a child and was born into a poor peasant family. His family was poor, and when he was young, he could only earn a living on construction sites and factories, but he still learned to sing hungrily.
It wasn't until he was 21 years old that Dai Yuqiang was finally admitted to an art academy for further study. But his college career was not peaceful, and at one point he was so poor that he didn't even have a pack of match money, so he could only curl up in the cold dormitory bed and shiver. But even so, he never gave up his persistent pursuit of his musical dreams.
With his extraordinary efforts and talent, Dai Yuqiang finally graduated from school with excellent grades and soon joined the People's Liberation Army Song and Dance Troupe with outstanding strength. In 1995, his superb performance in a performance at the Central Opera House caused a huge response and won the reputation of "the world's fourth tenor".
In the same year that Dai Yuqiang's career was on the sunny road, he met his wife Liu Yan, and the two fell in love at first sight and became husband and wife. Liu Yan is a soprano singer who voluntarily gave up her career after marriage, wholeheartedly supported her husband to pursue her musical dreams, and took on the responsibility of the family. With Liu Yan's help, Dai Yuqiang's career soon entered the fast lane.
In 1996, the two ushered in the crystallization of love - the birth of their daughter Dai Ziyi. Dai Ziyi, who has shown extraordinary talent since he was a child, was taught music knowledge by his parents from birth, participated in the recording of the theme songs of many film and television works at the age of 9, held his first album at the age of 10, and stood on the stage of the Great Hall of the People at the age of 17.
Today, as a young soprano, she has long been famous and has become her father's proudest "work". Along the way, Dai Yuqiang used his tenacity and hard work to finally forge today's achievements. It's a pity that the mother, the most important supporter, was not able to witness her son's most glorious moment.
Mother died
Dai Yuqiang's 91-year-old mother, Mrs. Dai, passed away peacefully. According to local customs, Dai Yuqiang did not show extreme sadness at the funeral held for his mother, but was smiling and radiant, and the atmosphere was filled with cheerful music. After this detail was exposed, it immediately sparked a wave of condemnation on the Internet.
Netizens condemned one after another: "The last road of my mother has become a carnival, even the entertainment industry is too capricious!" I can still laugh when my mother dies, and people like Dai Yuqiang don't take their mother to heart at all. "It's so indecent, it's an insult to the dead!"
Seeing these comments, we can't help but feel that Dai Yuqiang, the so-called "prince of the music world", is too presumptuous and out of proportion. But that's not the case.
We must know that Dai Yuqiang's "alternative funeral" is actually due to a unique local traditional custom - "happy funeral" culture. According to this cultural philosophy, if the elderly die peacefully instead of being sick, the locals will welcome the moment of the "arrival of the train of life" with a peaceful and joyful atmosphere.
In our opinion, this way of handling the funeral is too outlandish and even disrespectful to the deceased. But in reality, just like cultural differences, each region has different customs and perceptions.
In the "joy and mourning" culture of Dai Yuqiang's hometown, "death" is not a frightening and painful thing, but a kind of fulfillment that many people yearn for. An ordinary old man who passed away with the blessings of his descendants after leaving good memories in the world should be the greatest respect and blessing for the deceased.
Therefore, at the funeral scene that day, people sang loudly, danced, hugged each other, and high-fived each other to celebrate, which was not a blasphemy against the deceased, but a blessing and consolation. Mrs. Dai also told her son a few months before her death that after she left, she must do things according to local customs.
Dai Yuqiang's smile and joyful demeanor are precisely out of respect and blessing for his mother, rather than the "unfilial piety" and "ruthlessness" criticized by the outside world. He is just following the local traditions and customs, and there is no disrespect or unreasonable behavior. After learning this, I believe that everyone should also have a new understanding of the matter of "funeral carnival".
from an ordinary peasant boy to finally become a world-renowned music star; From being impoverished at the beginning to being in the spotlight later, he was even given the enviable title of "the world's fourth tenor"; After a small success in his career, his beloved daughter was also born and trained all the way to become an internationally renowned singer......
Dai Yuqiang has paid unimaginable hardships and sweat along the way to achieve today's achievements. And when his mother died, he was not disrespectful, but just following the traditional customs of his hometown.
Every ordinary person has an extraordinary life experience. As a star artist, Dai Yuqiang may be able to understand the truth of "no hard work, no gain" better than us.
Let's look at the life journey of this legendary singer with a normal heart, instead of imposing limited understanding on others. After all, each place will give birth to different cultures and ideas, which need to be accepted and appreciated with an open and inclusive mind.
In the last journey of life, if people take one step, we should bless a journey. It is really human nature to pray for peace when your mother dies. Whatever form it takes, it should be cherished as long as it is motivated by filial piety. What Dai Yuqiang did was the best blessing to his mother.
Cultural inheritance is a hundred schools of thought, and even seemingly "grotesque" customs should be respected as long as they are not illegal.
