Guy Le Querrec
CHINA. Province of Fujian. Between Quanzlou and Chong Wu. Funeral held in the village of Xiang Qiang. The coffin is carried by close relatives, all dressed in white, amongst whom are the son and daughter of the deceased. During the ceremony a brass band plays contemporary music (in the past traditional pieces were played). Fire crackers are let off to pay tribute to the departure of the deceased and for good luck to the family. In town the body is incinerated whereas in the countryside the coffin is still buried in a field. This is preferably done on a hill side as not to use exploitable farming land. Thursday 13th April 1989.
