대만 지역유지의 장례식에 미모의 여성 50명이 모인 이유

嘉義縣議會前議長董象，去年12月14日凌晨因病過世，享壽76歲。昨天出殯在自宅舉行公祭，親民黨主席宋楚瑜前來公祭，董象人脈雄厚，兒子董國誠是現任議員；親友不捨董象過世，生前愛熱鬧的他，昨天有陣容龐大，50名吉普車鋼管女郎送行，聲勢浩大，造成太保市中正路（水牛厝）大塞車，不少民眾騎著機車追看表演。

대만 쟈이현 의회의 동샹의장의 장례식이 1월 3일 열렸다. 자택에서 장례식장까지 출상하는 자리에 50명의 폴댄서(Pole Dancer)들이 지프차에 올라 고인의 출상을 기념했다.

 

You can't always decide how you go out, but you can have some say on how you'll be remembered.

Recently, Chiayi county in Taiwan mourned the passing of Council Speaker Tung Hsiang at the age of 76. To give him a proper send-off, 50 scantily-clad women pole danced on top of 50 jeeps as loud pop music blared through the city streets on Tuesday.

Obviously, the festivities attracted considerable attention from passersby, drawing in big crowds who also happened to spot various high-level county leaders in attendance.

According to Taiwan News, Tung's son said his father had always "enjoyed a buzz" and hoped that the ceremony would give his dad a "happy departure."

If you are looking to the do same for a departed loved one, then you can reach out to Taiwan's flourishing “EFC industry." EFC stands for "Electric Flower Cars" (电子花车) and they will hook you up with a less than solemn ceremony that locals aren't likely to forget.

In case you're a bit perplexed, you should know that funeral strippers have a long history in contemporary China as a way of livening up someone's passing and attracting additional grievers. But, back in 2015, the Chinese government finally decided to take the "fun" out of funeral by cracking down on the practice following a couple of notable incidents that made the news from rural China.

However, it still seems to be alive and well in Taiwan. Two years ago, a devoted wife in Taiwan fulfilled her husband's wishes to the end, putting aside her grief to invite strippers to perform at his funeral. Apparently, during his time on earth, he had famously had a penchant for looking at beautiful woman and she wanted to let him feast his eyes from the afterlife.
