It has been delicately integrated in the proposal of Yan Yongzhi, a deputy to the National People's Congress. During the National People's Congress and the National People's Congress, he proposed that cremation should not be compulsory, which caused widespread repercussions in society.
Cremation, as a funeral method, does have a deep cultural foundation in our country, and it is complex and intertwined with people's emotional bonds. However, Yan Yongzhi advocates following the laws of nature and giving people more choices in the way they are resettled at the end of their lives. This way of thinking from the perspective of nature encompasses a deep respect for traditional culture and folklore, as well as a concern for public opinion.
However, like all social issues, this issue is equally complex. Between honoring tradition and modernity, we need to think from multiple perspectives on each type of funeral. Cremation, as the current mainstream method, is indisputable for its environmental protection and land-saving attributes. However, this does not mean that there is no value in other ways.
The proposal of "no compulsory cremation" enlightens our thinking, and at the same time makes us think about how to rationally look at the advantages of cremation. We need to consider the different approaches holistically in the course of an active dialogue in order to find a funeral that embraces both traditional and modern needs.
While thinking about the future, we need to keep a clear head and a deep understanding, and strive to create a harmonious social environment with respect for human values. We can see that whether it is cremation or burial, they are trying to find a balance between meeting people's emotional needs, but also considering many aspects such as economy, environmental protection, land conservation and public safety. Only in this way can we carry out in-depth social discussions and lead the society into a more harmonious and developing future.
