April 20, 2014 - Beijing, China - Death is almost the only thing that can be sure about in life, it is the final destination for everybody, simply the cycle of life. But in Chinese society, denial of death is extremely strong and anything associated with it is believed to bring misfortune, even language related to death or even thinking about it.
