摘　　要："See that shop we just passed with the traditional silk clothes on those mannequins? Such shops only sew outfits for dead people. I bet you don’t do that in the West,"com- mented Mr.Yang,my erstwhile colleague. We were riding our bikes around the city after teaching a special course together."Well,we spend huge sums to embalm people,make them look like they’re still alive and in the peak of health.We do dress our dead up well,butⅠdoubt anyone orders special suits from exclusive shops for the journey to the netherworld.Do you believe in any afterlife or have a religion,Yang?"I asked,craning my head to look at him.
