Chinese woman work at cemetery to achieve life balance 

  • A 22-year-old woman with the last name Tan got a job in a cemetery to get a better work-life balance and stay away from office politics.
  • People on the internet can’t believe what the Chinese college graduate did.
  • Ms Tan said that her job was like “early retirement for life”.

South China Morning Post said that a 22-year-old woman with the last name Tan got a job in a cemetery to get a better work-life balance and stay away from office politics. People on the internet can’t believe what the Chinese college graduate did.

Ms Tan showed pictures and videos of her “peaceful” place of work. She posted the videos on Douyin, which is the Chinese version of TikTok, last week. They show a cemetery on the side of a mountain in Chongqing, which is in western China.

She said, “Let me show you the working environment of a Gen Z grave keeper. It’s a simple and cushy job. There are cats and dogs and the internet.”

The portal said that Ms. Tan said that her job was like “early retirement for life.” Her job gives her free time, a nice view, a place to work without office politics, and a long drive to work.

Tan said, “I joke that I’m a “grave keeper” because I live here.

Considering her job role? The website said that it includes greeting visitors, selling tombs, and sweeping graves on behalf of the dead’s families.

Tan works six days a week from 8:30 am to 5 pm, with a two-hour lunch break. She gets paid about 4,000 yuan per month (Rs 45,766).

A lot of people on social media were worried about Ms Tan. A user wrote, “Such a job was regarded as unlucky in the old days but is a peaceful one to modern people.”

Someone else wrote, “I like this job too. You don’t need to deal with people, and there’s no office politics.”

In response to what was said, Ms Tan said, “This is just an ordinary job. I am just doing something that I find ordinary. I am satisfied with my life at the moment and I will stick with this job.”
