i was brought up in the british, stiff upper lip style. strong feelings aren’t something you display in public. so, you can imagine that i was unprepared for the outpouring of public grief(悲傷) at a chinese funeral.
my editorial team leader died recently after a short illness. he was 31. the news was so unexpected that it left us all shocked and upset. a female colleague burst into tears and cried piteously at her desk. somehow we got through the day's work. the next day was the funeral.
our big boss stepped forward to deliver a eulogy and was soon in tears. she carried on, in chinese of course, but at the end said in english: "there will be no more deadlines for you in heaven." next came a long-term colleague who also dissolved in tears but carried on with her speech despite being almost overcome by emotion. then a close friend of the dead man paid tribute(哀悼), weeping openly as he spoke. sorrow is speading. me and women were now sobbing uncontrollably. finally, the man's mother, supported between two women, addressed her son in his coffin. at one point, the mother almost collapsed and had to be held up. we were invited to step forward to each lay a white rose on the casket. our dead colleague looked as if he was taking a nap. at the end of the service i walked away from the funeral parlor stunned at the outpouring of emotion.
