"I don't think it's a terrible thing, I'm just doing something meaningful. This is a post-90s mother's evaluation of her career. Her name is Wang Tingting, she is from Nanjing, Jiangsu, and her profession is a shroud model. Shroud models, as the name suggests, are models who take photos or live broadcasts for shrouds. This is a profession that many people dare not imagine, because shroud is something related to death, and many people think that wearing shroud will be unlucky and even invite bad luck.
Wang Tingting doesn't think so, she feels that shroud is a kind of respect and the last etiquette for the deceased. "A shroud is actually a kind of garment, but it is worn on the dead person. I think everyone should have a decent goodbye and wear a proper shroud that can allow them to leave this world with peace of mind. ”
Ms. Wang, who has been working as a shroud model for more than a year, said she came into contact with the industry by chance. Her husband is the owner of a shroud shop that sells mainly online and needs models to show the style and details of the shroud.
At the beginning, I was also a little scared and didn't dare to wear a shroud, I thought it was very weird. But my husband said that it was a normal job and there was nothing bad about it. He said that our shrouds are made with high-quality fabrics and craftsmanship, and many elderly people can only buy the ones they want when they see the details of the shrouds. He said that we are helping people, not harming people. ”
Wang Tingting gradually overcame the psychological barrier and began to try to wear a shroud and take pictures or live broadcasts for the shroud. She said that every time she wears a shroud, she has a sense of awe, and she feels that she is serving the deceased and sending them her last blessings.
The shrouds I wear are all very beautiful, some are Hanfu, some are cheongsam, some are suits, and the colors are also very bright, not as dull as the traditional shrouds. I think this can make the deceased happier and the living more relieved. Wang Tingting said.
Wang Tingting's work as a shroud model has received support and praise from many netizens. There are often thousands of people in her live broadcast room**, and many people are interested in her shroud and also show understanding and respect for her profession.
You are a very brave girl, and what you do is very meaningful, giving the deceased the last dignity. "Your shroud is beautiful, and I want to buy one too, hoping I can wear it when I die." "You are a very caring person, you have given me a new understanding of death, thank you. These are all messages from netizens to Wang Tingting.
Wang Tingting said that she is grateful for the encouragement and support of netizens, and she feels that her work is valuable and fun. "I don't feel like I'm doing something terrible, I'm just doing something meaningful. I think everyone should have their own choices and not be bound by other people's eyes. I'm a shroud model and I'm proud of my profession. ”
