We went there and saw a few people dancing in front of a dead body. We were really shocked because we had never experienced that kind of culture before. I approached an old man who was over 50 years old and asked him about the story behind it. He answered my question, saying that they have been following this culture for 200 years. It really surprised us because whenever someone dies in our village, we always feel sad, and we bury them and bring them to the graveyard.
