Shocking As Government Official Funeral In Taiwan Features 50 Pole Dancers

According to the young man, he had a dream three days after the elder Hsiang died. In the dream, Tung explained how much he loved crowded places. As a result, he knew including the exotic dancers would generate a lot of attention, leading to the type of crowded spectacle his father would have enjoyed.

While many of the urban viewers were surprised by the inclusion of pole dancers, the practice is quite common. Since the 1980s, rural funerals in both Taiwan and China frequently include the entertainment. In part, the tradition is to fulfill a religious obligation to amuse the spirits that observe funerals.
In earlier generations, professional paid female wailers served this purpose. Chinese gangsters added their own flare to the practice when the replaced the wailers with strippers. However, due to recent legislation, it is illegal to have nude women at funerals.
