-Our friend Nick committed suicide last fall and was buried soon thereafter.
-My other friend Mark attended the wake but didn't attend the funeral.
-So I was troubled and went to check up on Mark. He went on a day trip with his GF.
-This got me bit disturbed (Mark was Nick's BEST friend).
-Few months later today, I asked him why he didn't go. He said it's because of his Chinese culture and it's extremely bad luck to attend funerals of those who commited suicide. His old grandmother strongly stopped him from going.
I have a Chinese GF and numerous Chinese friends (I'm Korean). And I have NEVER heard this. I think he's straight up bull shitting.
Chinese members here: Have you ever heard of such thing?
