Features: Among the disaster events compiled by the author, a significant portion is caused by human negligence. No matter how much remorse the accident express afterward or what form of punishment is imposed, it cannot diminish the immense trauma caused. What deeply pains me is the astonishing numbness and indifference toward personal safety demonstrated by the accident before the accident occurred. In fact, many accidental disasters already contained underlying factors in advance. If the parties involved had paid a little more attention, countless tragic incidents of loss of life could have been avoided. If this book can serve as a wake-up call for those who hold the lives of others in their hands, it may be the best possible solace for the deceased. The cruelty of accidental disasters lies in the "accident" itself—the abrupt, unprepared, and ruthless arrival of death. For the unfortunate deceased, the vibrant world of mortal life can vanish in an instant, while for the living, it is no less than a process of re-experiencing the concept of human life, allowing them to truly sense the fragility and randomness of life. I believe that among all human activities, funerals and cemeteries are the purest, the most capable of stripping people of their armor in the struggle for fame and fortune, thus making the limited span of life serene and composed. May the readers of this book also experience such spiritual refinement after reading it.
