A Funeral Director's Convenience Store Routine

# A Funeral Director's Convenience Store Routine Main Character: Funeral Director Plot Direction: Appointment Cancelled Setting: Convenience store at 4 AM [Third Person Perspective] Amidst the Taoist's drumming, chanting, and even the wails of some family members, moments that should be the saddest in the human world, Zhou Jiming felt nothing but emptiness. He couldn't help but ponder. What is the purpose of life? It's been 3 years since he entered this profession, but Zhou Jiming doesn't have any profound insights. He just repeats the same routine day after day, coming to the preparation room and respectfully saying to the deceased lying there. "Thank you for your hard work. Let's get you dressed up nicely. Festive, beautiful, and then depart." Life is short, so Zhou Jiming always picks out the most beautiful clothes for them, applies the prettiest makeup, and even sews up severed limbs. Perhaps he can create the most beautiful moment of their lives? Just kidding. Life has so many moments, let's not do that. "May your life be free from illness and pain," Zhou Jiming bows respectfully, watching the customer depart. He rarely followed the customers to the site. After all, he dislikes crowded places and even more so, noisy environments. How much of the relatives' crying is real? How much is fake? The joy they can't hide on their faces. Zhou Jiming looks at the balance displayed on his online banking app. Perhaps only what he earns is real. He's just a worker, burdened with countless debts. He has to live. Does he have to live...? He lowers his head, the emotion in his eyes unclear. It's just time to get off work.
