Since the beginning of September, holidaymakers in Shanghai have been able to experience a special kind of simulation. The tourist attraction «Samadhi – 4D Experience of Death» is essentially a live role-playing game in which players compete in a series of dangerous trials. Who loses, dies. However, who wins? "It's like in real life. Everyone has to die at some point, no matter what they survived before," explains one of the founders of "4D Experience of Death".
Two Chinese entrepreneurs, Ding Rui and Huang Wie-ping, offer to try dying for a short time in their death simulator. The excursion includes a cremation plus a rebirth in addition to death. The faked death is followed by a simulated cremation in a crematorium. The deceased is transported away on a conveyor belt, while artificial smoke and sophisticated lighting technology create a convincing cremation atmosphere. To make the experience as real as possible, the entrepreneurs behind the role play visited a crematorium beforehand and were driven through the oven with the flames off. «It was really hot. I couldn't breathe and I thought my life was over," one of the entrepreneurs told CNN. The businessmen implemented this experience in the simulator, which is said to be “terrifyingly close to reality”.
With the experiment, the two entrepreneurs want to sensitize people to dying and death. The two came up with the idea through experience they had as managing directors of an organization that offers end-of-life care for cancer patients. "The worst part of the job isn't seeing patients die, it's observing that their families don't want to deal with death," Ding Rui explains. By the way, the trip to the death simulator ends well for the player. Because the dead visitors experience a rebirth in a soft, round womb. The company charges the equivalent of around 30 euros for the near-death experience. Similar offerings have already had great success in South Korea and Taiwan.

"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced reporting in the press politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.
My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I am aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I will not change this to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it's "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever
