China is increasingly confronted with the taboo surrounding death as its population ages rapidly, leading to a rise in "death education" initiatives across the country. These efforts aim to foster a more dignified approach to end-of-life care and discussions.

• By the end of 2024, 220.23 million people in China will be aged 65 and above, accounting for 15.6 percent of the total population.
• A think tank of The Economist ranked China's quality of death index 71st globally among 80 countries surveyed.
• An exhibition titled 'Bringing Death Back to Life' in Beijing used art installations, paintings, and video art to spark public discussion, generating over 40,000 comments and more than one million words of online discourse for one artwork.
