Death Cafe
The Death Café allows us to come together to discuss a topic that is "taboo" in Chinese culture - death.
Whether you have seen, heard, or sensed, the Death Café is a way to reminisce about the past, to rediscover, and to explore and collate experiences and important outlooks on coping with death through what you have to say and listen to. Many of the things you can't talk about in life will be heard here, and many of the emotions you rarely express in life will be discussed with you here.

DEATHCAFE / MAN's SEARCH FOR MEANING
Post by “Shanghai hand in hand”
The dark background provided by death makes the delicate colours of life all the more pure.
Death destroys the original planned trajectory of life. The company of a loved one comes to an abrupt end, and the promise of a long life is left in a dream. The script of life is rebooted in an unanticipated way.

DEATHCAFE / LIVE TO DIE
The probability that everyone we love will die is 100%.
In loving others, have I loved myself well? On the verge of death, will I thank myself for a life well lived? Or will I say sorry to myself for having lived a short life without really living it?

DEATHCAFE / POST-EARTHQUAKE INSIGHT
Late at night on 6 August, around 2:30, Shandong Province, there was a not too big and not too small earthquake. Jinan felt the tremor strongly, living in the high-rise people feel especially obvious, the house chandelier swaying back and forth, many people woke up in their sleep.
Fortunately, there were no casualties. But if this is the last hour of life, a true parting of the living and the dead, how do you feel? Do you have any regrets?
