Dealing with death: It's all in the line of duty

It's something most of us spend all our lives hoping to avoid, but Xu Shenquan faces death stoically every day, with a sense of service and duty.

When death comes, Xu, from Macheng, Hubei province, is there to take care of the body of the deceased and comfort those left behind.

"Birth and death are part of nature, and my job is to do my utmost to take care of the dead, helping them to leave the world with warm care and dignity," Xu said.
