Honoring the dead has become big business for the skin trade in Beijing.
Throughout history, families often hired
strippers to attract viewers so the dead would leave the world knowing just how much they were loved based on how many people attended their funeral.
Police recently began cracking down on this practice in part because they were never utilized for crowd control, thus making them miss every show.
"Until such time as my officers are asked to attend these performances...I mean...patrol these farewell rituals under the premise of getting a piece...I mean...keeping the piece we will continue to disrupt any service of this nature," said a police spokesman.
