Gotta have the most beautiful and young corpse bride for junior, our special little boyo, sonny jimbo, laddo, mommy's little soldier booboo. It's not that suprising. Objectification even in death seems to be a natural step in the as old as humanity commodification of women .
Smh, puny humans. Smh.
Can I have first dibs! I've always wanted to try this on something bigger. I'd fly you through rural Chinese villages. The people would fear your immortal visage.
Umm what? Post-imperialism, governments cracked down on or eliminated a lot of backwards traditions. There's no comparison between China now and pre-Republic China.

Do they have corpse auctions, too? Like they line up a bunch of corpses laying back in coffins (for presentation's sake) with wedding dresses on (though sold separately), with the auctioneer being the Mayor of Halloweentown?

Is this where people usually follow up with "but I have [insert minority here] friends"?
Dude, you could talk to many Chinese people before you find one that's actually heard of this practice let alone not thinking of it as abnormal, immoral, and illegal; and you probably should given your level of prejudice that you're showing.

I remember when every cop show in America did a corpse bride episode for their token Chinese crime episode. Weird to see the issue come back again.

yes absolutely. i wish to be dressed as a bee and have a functional beehive inside my corpse, so that i can be a mobile pollination station and make children run for their houses in tears
or you can dress me like the actual visage from dota and get two mini drones to follow me around, china would love that

Don;t worry about it, it's ok to be racist on neogaf as long as it's against the chinese.

Rural China continues to remain in the 18th century.
Spitting on the street is still common in rural areas too.

dude...... why are people so fucking weird
If you live in more developed regions in China you have likely never heard of this practice except in documentaries about remote rural life, and people are absolutely appalled by them.
China is a big country with over a billion people and vastly different level of development between them. Some weird things do happen but they are absolutely not the norm. There are some replies in this thread that is flat out race phobic and over generalization.
Also dont blame this on the CCP which is at least nominally atheistic (unless you do your 'extremists beget extremism on the other side' rhetoric).
