Phoenix Ancient City, located in the southwestern part of Xiangxi, takes its name from its resemblance to a phoenix spreading its wings against the backdrop of green mountains.
And nestled within this beautiful Phoenix Ancient City is the Corpse Chasing Family that sends shivers down one's spine upon hearing its name.
However, despite the advancement of science and technology, the profession of corpse escorting has been on the decline. Many corpse-escorting families have either transformed their business or vanished altogether. Only large and well-established families like the Chen Family are still able to barely hold on.
On this day, April 4th, Tomb-Sweeping Festival!
The weather was not pleasant, as a misty drizzle began to fall, veiling the entire town in a beautiful gauze.
At this moment, the Chen Family in the east of the city was lit up with festivity; the streets for ten miles were draped in red.
