This is the funeral
of a rich Chinese
:20:11
in a temple of
the city of Macao.
:20:15
Friends are bringing food
to his altar,
:20:17
so he can nourish himself
during his long trip.
:20:20
Then they bow before
the mourning family.
:20:24
ln a corner,
a woman burns his money,
:20:28
which, only this way,
will be able to follow him
:20:32
and preserve for him,
in heaven, what to every
:20:35
Chinese is the utmost good
of this life and the other:
:20:37
wealth.
:20:39
The heirs attend in tears
the sad ceremony.
:21:29
Not only here in Singapore,
but in all Malaysia,
:21:32
the Chinese represent over
a third of the population.
:21:35
Never tired to figure out
a thousand ways of making money,
:21:39
they are nonetheless famous
for their physical laziness.
:21:43
They don't swim, run,
jump, or play soccer.
:21:47
As the Chinese
don't waste their money,
:21:50
likewise, they don't waste
their energies,
:21:52
which they prefer
to use around the table
:21:54
or in bed.
:21:56
Between snacks, the Chinese
find the time to fill
:21:59
their houses with children,
legitimate and illegitimate.
