This is one of the highest-paying jobs in a funeral home and one of the professions that have been in contact with corpses for the longest time. It is rumored that this job can earn 50,000 yuan a month, but to this day no one is willing to do it, this is the body plastic surgeon.
Tan Mengyue is a body plastic surgeon in a funeral home in the eastern suburbs of Beijing, and she is the person who has the most contact with corpses in the entire funeral home. As she worked, her entire body had to be leaned over the body, and her face was only ten centimeters away from the body.
She will remain in this position for dozens of minutes, and she will even need to spend hours doing plastic surgery when encountering some bodies that are difficult to handle.
In the funeral parlor, there are very few people who can stand this job, and others would rather do cremation than lie on the corpse to make up.
But for Tan Mengyue, the living are sometimes more terrifying than the dead. When Grandma Tan Mengyue died, she looked at the old man's pale face, and felt extremely uncomfortable.
Recalling the happy times in the past and the smile on the old man's face, and then looking at the bloodless face in front of him, Tan Mengyue's heart felt as if someone had pinched it fiercely.
Since then, she has made up her mind to work in the funeral industry in the future. In the end, she did get her wish and applied for a related major, and after graduation, she entered the funeral home to work.
Tan Mengyue did not regret her choice, and when she turned the lifeless body into a moving brilliance with her own hands, this was when she was the happiest. She is not afraid of the dead, nor is she afraid of death. It's something that everybody goes through, and she's just a little earlier than anyone else.
Tan Mengyue is one of the few body plastic surgeons, although she did not disclose her salary, but according to internal sources in the funeral industry. When her performance is good, she can earn at least 50,000 yuan a month. But even if you can make so much money, there are very few people willing to do the job.
Tan Mengyue has to come to the funeral home early every day to prepare for the day's work. Her workshop is simple, with a few shelves for bottles and cans, and a cold iron bed with the remains of the body, and a wreath next to it is the only color in the entire workshop.
Before starting work, she would bow deeply to the body, which was a sign of respect for the deceased and a send-off for the soul.
For Tan Mengyue, contact with the dead is more comfortable than the living. She felt that the dead would not be intrigued, nor would they involve entanglements of interests. She just needs to do what she can so that the body can say goodbye to the world in the best possible way, and she doesn't have to worry about the rest.
So, not only is she not afraid of the job, but she also enjoys the process. For Tan Mengyue, working in a funeral home is far more comfortable than other ordinary jobs.
In the years she has been in the industry, she has sorted out the remains of babies who are a few years old, and also put on makeup for young college students in their twenties, and has provided countless elderly people with a short-lived opportunity. With the help of Tan Mengyue, these seventy or eighty-year-old people seem to have returned to their youthful appearance, and they have walked very peacefully and brilliantly in the last journey of their lives.
After Tan Mengyue finishes work, he will also go shopping for groceries and hairstyles like other girls. She also has her own life, and she is no different from an ordinary girl except for the special nature of her work.
Body cosmetic surgeons can earn 50,000 yuan a month, but still no one wants to do it. Not everyone can accept the content of their work calmly like Tan Mengyue, and can make it clear from their own lives.
According to the description of the funeral director, the job of a body cosmetic surgeon is ranked first in the entire funeral industry. Ordinary people may think that this is just putting makeup on the body, and there is nothing special about it. If it is broken, it is a big deal to wipe it clean again and transform it again, and the dead person will not be angry anyway.
But the truth is far more difficult than imagined, and the first thing in front of us is the test of psychological endurance. A person stays next to the corpse for a moment during work, and when applying makeup, the distance is as close as ten centimeters. If the corpse is stored for too long, you can smell the corpse stench even if you are wearing a mask.
And in addition to makeup, there are many unspoken rules in the industry. It's definitely not like what people say, wipe it clean and re-transform it when it is broken, which is a major mistake for people in the industry and a big disrespect to the deceased.
Therefore, most of the body cosmetic surgeons are funeral professionals, and they have received relevant training in the school. There are very few people who do this job across disciplines, even if the monthly salary can be as high as 50,000 yuan, but they do not have the ability to earn this money.
Even if there is a master who is willing to teach him, the difficulty in his heart has become a gap that many people have never been able to cross. Many people shouted loudly, saying that they were about to die of poverty, and they were not afraid of the dead at all. But when they stood in front of the body in person, they trembled with fear, and their faces were whiter than the dead.
Therefore, the job of a body plastic surgeon is not easy to do, even if you can have 50,000 yuan a month, few people can earn this money in their own hands.
