Mak Meijuan, Secretary for Home Affairs and Youth Affairs, said at the event that people are inevitably anxious when faced with death. I believe this public life and death education activity will enable the public to understand death and reflect on life in many ways.
She pointed out that the exhibitions, lectures and workshops will help participants to get rid of taboos and view death in a correct way, so as to realize "the deceased will die well and leave no regrets".
In her speech, Mai Meijuan revealed that a few years ago, when the social atmosphere was very bad, she was threatened with death. After calling the police, a colleague asked her what to do next. She responded: "Go to dinner, eat something good." It is said that death is sometimes very sudden, so how to treat death is very important, and encourage the public to cherish the present and live every day without regret.

Venerable Master Kuan Yun, President of the Hong Kong Buddhist Federation, said that after 19 years of social events and the three-year epidemic in Hong Kong, the entire society and economy have been greatly affected, and citizens are more prone to depression, anxiety, and even suicide. He pointed out that death is a real life problem , that people should live in the present.
Master Yanxuan and Master Chuan Deng, the abbots of Dajue Fuxing Center, said that life is endless, so if you don’t know death, death will become terrifying and mysterious. It is hoped that the event will lead the public to understand death and understand the meaning of life.
