A post-eighties designer has changed his profession to embalmer. After ten years in this profession and handling thousands of bodies, he has already witnessed the secrecy behind the veil of death. However, it is not until when he faces the eternal departure of his close friends and loved ones that he realises his ignorance of life and death. Unfortunately, life and death education has not gained popularity in Hong Kong! If one wants to gain insight into death, a flight to Taiwan might be a viable way for learning. “If you do not know about life, how you could understand death?” Chinese traditional concepts tell us not to question life and death. Although both Taiwan and Hong Kong are Chinese societies, Taiwan is one stride ahead as life and death education has been put in places more than a decade ago: the topic of life and death is included in the regular curriculum of secondary education; professors in universities discuss death using the movies of interests for the young people; stories can be told to children using picture books; outside classroom, Death Café welcomes all strangers to discuss life and death freely while indulging in a cup of coffee. Taiwanese are gradually breaking the taboos of death, and to one’s surprise, funeral director has become a popular profession at the moment. Youngsters in their mid-teens, who study the specialized course of funerary, first have an experiential lesson of death, wherein after lying down in a coffin and shedding tears, they come to realise the finitude of youth and life and to be grateful that they can move forward and cherish their lives. Not only does life and death education discuss death, it also seeks to explore life. If you are also brave enough to ask, Death will tell you “Would you know how to live if you do not understand death?” By knowing death, you are able to understand life.
