Some impressive epitaphs
Editor’s note: Epitaphs are also a kind of culture. From the epitaphs of Westerners, we can see their attitude towards their own lives and the world, which may be deep love, humorous and playful, or free and uninhibited. When we are just a handful of loess buried deep in the desolation, will future generations stop and walk in front of our stone monument? I accept it with a smile or choked with sobs, as long as it is moved from the heart.
