In contrast to the public display of affection, at a Chinese funeral people can be seen quite openly expressive when it comes to griefing. While most American funerals keep the crying to an inaudible whimper, at Chinese funerals loud wailing, sobbing, grief stricken family members male and female alike is a commo sight. In fact, with the new prosperity in Chinese societies, an old profession, professional criers and mourners who cry loudly for the bereaving family, has made a come-back. Whereas the Americans might find Chinese repressed in the area of the display of affection, the Chinese may find Americans cold or lacking feelings when someone dies.
