Woman in China Hosts Own Funeral & Invites Her Friends to it After Breakup With Boyfriend

A young woman in China who staged her own funeral in a bizarre attempt to get over breaking up with her boyfriend has left many people on mainland social media confused.

According to the South China Morning Post, the woman surnamed Wang had invited her friends to “bid her farewell” on October 28 after her 3-year relationship with her boyfriend ended.

As she had attended several wedding parties recently and was always asked by her friends when they could attend hers, she decided to throw a party with a twist for her friends in the form of a funeral, giving them a chance to gather and symbolise the resurrection of a new life without her boyfriend.

She had invited a dozen friends to the ceremony, held in a florist shop provided free by the shop owner.

A video clip online shows Wang lying on her “deathbed” surrounded by candles while her friends bow and give her white flowers one by one, in the manner people do at normal funerals. She then “came back to life” and chatted with her friends about life and death.

According to her, the “funeral” was her way of healing the heartache she felt after breaking up with her boyfriend because his parents would not let them marry.

Wang also said that she had no regrets after the ceremony and would move on with her life.
