Although I'm just 22 years old, i saw and experienced a lot of miserable and ridiculous things in Vietnam. I'm not sure abt do the same things happen in some other developing countries or not but which i knew from newspapers, internet and dramas are quite similar.
In Vietnam, especially in countryside, residents there never understand why we need to burn dead ppl instead of buring them in very big coffins. They never have a thought that every cemetery is overloaded, so they still blamed the country and government for the policy in encouraging citizens use another kinds of entombing dead ppl. I know some ppl, ironically, they treated their relatives very bad when their relatives were still alive but after they gone, these ppl tured out to be very kind with holding very big funeral and huge coffin which took a lot of money and time of course. Unfortunately, my father's side has that kind of ppl. After the sudden death of my uncle, what they (my uncle's sisters and brothers-in-law) cared was just about why burned her body? why didnt bring her body back to her hometown (600 kilometres from Hanoi)? The most ridiculous thing here is that my uncle always wanted to be near her family, her husband, her sons, not these ppl who just called her for asking money.
