A Chinese man from Shuangxikou Town in Hunan province has bought a coffin for his elderly mother to sit in, believing it will bring her good fortune and longevity. The ritual, rooted in traditional folk practices, involves the woman sitting at the head of a procession with pallbearers and a brass band. In a viral video, the 70-something-year-old woman is seen cheerfully sitting inside the coffin, holding a fan as 16 men carry it through the streets.
