The strong influence of the Pixar animated film “Span class=”text-remarks” label=”Remarks”>(Coco), swarming to the world of Mexico from the end of October to the beginning of November Tourists from all over the world want to linger over the winding streams of flowers. In the dark, they follow the swaying candlelight and the path of marigold. They come to the local cemetery and sing along with the vigil. Remember me, , and then squat on the grave of the night.
The movie “Dream of the Dream” has spread the Day of the Dead to the world
The tourists in the messy information, guessing where the vigil is the most atmospheric, the best pictures can be shown in the Ins or friends circle, but also know that their own fun, so that this has become a Mexican tour The night of the day of the business card is more crowded.
“Animated prototype can not go to the island, it is impossible to find accommodation within a hundred kilometers”, “there are no vigils in the northern states of Mocheng”, “Mixquic village in the southeastern suburb of Mocheng is good, but when it is overcrowded, the mobile phone will be completely There is no signal, it is impossible to call the returning car”…… Various Raiders and updated information are available before the November 1st Children’s Day.
Being a vigil for a loved one becomes a carnival
In order to make a few hours of vigils, I am good at collecting and arranging travel information. I am called a three-sister girl, and I rented a rental house through the homeowner. I decided to go to the suburb of Mixquic, at least the pictures of the previous year and last year’s Raiders. In the cemetery there, it is full of marigolds, and the spotted candlelight is beating in the dark, which is the moving scene in “Coco”.

The journey was very far, and the traffic was very tight. After more than three hours, we finally arrived at the town before the church called the seven o’clock to let the young children go home. The driver rushes to a parking space, so we don’t have to worry about not having a cellular network to call the returning city network.
After a long food street full of stalls and a corridor outside the church walls to look at the cemetery, we squeezed into the “home” of the dead night watch.
A city cemetery that truly has a vigil tradition
There are crazy photographers everywhere, mainly in the Mexican city, and the American girl’s sharp laughter and familiar Mandarin. The tombs can only accommodate small lanes that pass by one foot, and it is obviously impossible to accommodate the small town residents to watch the night. Only one piece of tombstone did not know who was lit by the candle, which led everyone to push the focal length closer and make a mad shot. In the square of the town center, the band sang in the dance of the dancers, and the tourists also lined up to paint themselves as a face.
In order to have a sense of carnival participation, I also made an outfit
Basic can be judged, Mixquic’s vigil has long been a carnival for tourists far more than the locals, and even only tourists have no relatives. We quickly reflect on it in order to balance the disappointment. “It should be that tourists are too influenced by Coco. They have become the drama of singing and quiet singing. In fact, the Mexicans want to sing with the dead nights.” I feel that the atmosphere here is quite good.
A city cemetery that truly has a vigil tradition
On the other side of the distance, several of the encountering friends also successfully wrapped the car and smashed the movie in the movie (a plateau lake in reality) , up to the island that thought it was full of petals, and then sent a circle of friends, “It’s as crowded as Xiangshan sees the red leaves.” On the other hand, a Chengdu-based beauty traveling around the world, stubbornly sitting on the night bus, went to Oaxaca, the birthplace of the culture of the Undead Festival, hundreds of kilometers away. There are fewer Chinese tourists, but there is not much “imaginary”. “Traditional”, she will return to Mexico by returning to the night bus to participate in the daytime undead festival parade. “If you go on the road, everyone should give me the Day of the Dead.”
The Day of the Dead is divided into two days: the “Youth Festival” on November 1 and the “Cheng Ling Festival” on November 2. The night of the young spirit, we arrived before the arrival of the crowded car group, determined to leave Mixquic early, return to the same residence in the southern suburbs. When I checked the Google map, there was no cemetery nearby, and I touched it. Although there are American companions and individual compatriots who don’t know where to find information, more are really locals who give early death to children and young people. Marigold and candlelight are all there! More than a dozen bands played cheerful Latin dance music in different blocks. In front of other graves, there were family members eating and drinking. They used bluetooth speakers to play the favorite songs of the deceased, from Shakira to cool play.
When we want to try to lift the camera, people will wave their hands and greet the past, handing in pastries and juice, and want to take a picture.
In front of one of the tombstones, an older man sang along with the speaker, and the younger brother next to him would speak a few words of English,”He is the young dad inside, and he has been here for five years in a row.” Gradually, I noticed in the windy night, in some corners, there are indeed mothers who whisper and weep. In the arms of the sisters.
The so-called sadness and joy, it should be the emotion of the young night.

The next day at noon, the widest in the city Reform the road to seal the road to meet the Day of the Dead Festival.
The street has never been part of the Day of the Dead, compared to the vigil tradition in parts of Mexico. It was not until 2015 that “007: The Ghost Party” was filmed, which allowed Bond to “create” such a grand parade celebration. Then, from the following year, the Day of the Dead will be more grand in the capital. content.

For this, each visitor has more or less “too commercialized” complaints, but he does not know that he is a part of adding chaos and accelerating traditional commercialization. The locals don’t care, they’re so silly every day, it seems to be the nature of Mexicans, so that death has long been seen as a continuation of life, or the ancestors are pulled out of the grave, and the present self Drinking and singing, or making yourself into a shackle, it is better to have a big street, so that the whole city of Mexico has become a world of undead.
Fighting Team of Daye Street in Desire Festival
The streets of the city are full of life styles
This year’s Dayou Street has more Chinese teams and Japanese teams. Don’t think that this is usGo and join in the fun, burn a paper paste and rush to the ancestors to reflect the Eastern view of the world. The two teams in China and Japan are more like some kind of invited “host country”. Most of the teams are played by local people, either stepping on stilts and jumping, or becoming beautiful women wearing kimonos.
This is of course a successful disintegration of the fear of death, with a philosophical skill of a Mexican. In the southern suburbs of the city, in the museum named after the businessman Dolores Olmedo, there is a mezzanine city in Mexico. In the world below, there are subways, burritos stalls, Olympics, court disputes… The undead still go to work nine to five, and they still go to work at home, still quarreling at home, and the world of living people. No difference.

Hochochirk nearby (Xochimilco)The swamp canal belt, which will be called the crying woman (La Llorona)‘s water terror tragedy, a story about a woman drowning her two children for revenge and revenge.Western version of Medea. In general, it was a “shocking crying contest”, and the actors shouted one by one: “Ah! My children!”
I don’t believe that Mexicans will have the nerves that are afraid of ghosts. In the tourist city of Guanajuato, north of the capital, there is a corpse museum, which is not a tightly wrapped mummie, but a corpse that is erected and erected. Even if the museum text prompts, please be quiet and respect the deceased, there is still a family who is very curious about a pair of mother and child. The woman even excitedly took the doll out of the stroller and learned the posture of the corpse, so that her husband could take pictures. In view of this, the visiting compatriots of the country also let go, taking pictures in the erect coffin one by one, and a long-haired leader will extend the long arm, a perfect oriental female ghost.
The Aztec Stadium’s Super League and the National Arena’s Wrestling Contest just happened to catch up with the Day of the Dead. The stadium that extended the hand of God in Maradona was fine. Only a group of fans who had just finished the parade did not have time to remove makeup, cheered at the Americas Club of the home team. On the other side of the arena, the game of the undead wrestling was completely made into the theme of the undead war. Players (actors) turned into zombies or deaths one by one, and those who lost were smashed to the hell at the end.
The exaggerated Undead Festival Wrestling Contest
This kind of fake performance, classified as entertainment, also shows that Mexicans don’t care about political correctness. The organizers arranged the opponents far more than the strong, and the hot beauty against the rough wife, one by one swearing to greet each other’s mother. The women played too fake, the feet of the flying dragons were far away, and the opponents quickly fell to the ground. Eight gnomes came to power, saved the audience’s dissatisfaction, and slammed the other party’s slap in the face, lifted their opponents down and down, and won a favor.
The most exaggerated one is a “bending war.” Pink men wear shorts, use the touch of ass and flying kisses to label the comrades movements, slap the thick opponents, and also defeat the Lingbo microstep stunts again and again. Dad took his son to receive violent education. Whenever the enemy was tied to a large execution, the boy’s tender voice shouted, “Si, Si, kill him.” By the way, I accepted the education of sexual equality, and I was convinced by the skills and tactics of Pink Men. It is estimated that I want to turn back to school to fight bad boys.
After leaving Mexico City, I went to the Museum of Memory and Tolerance. In the audio guide of English, I claimed to be: “We are the only museum in the world that shows both the Holocaust atrocities and human understanding, praying for peace and love.” In the exhibition hall where the Nazis slaughtered the Jews, the Rwandan ethnic group, and the Bosnian Rebrenia massacre, I had already determined that the Mexicans who had no heart and lungs were quiet, and they did not take pictures before the concentration camp or the body piled up. At that time, they seemed to be aware of the fear of death.
