As we know, erecting a gravestone is a very serious matter. How could such a serious matter connect with "bullshit"?

Many Chinese netizens express their curiosities: "Why is there a 'bullshit' gravestone? Are they kidding us? Who can explain this?"

Yesterday afternoon, a journalist visited Qi County Heritage and Tourism Bureau to confirm the authenticity of the gravestone. A office worker told journalist there was indeed such a gravestone. The gravestone was located in a temple beside Qi County, Henan province. In 1984, it was moved into Zhaixintai Park of Qi County.

The office worker provided the journalist with the phone number of Ms. Luan, a tour guide in Zhaixintai Park.     

Ms. Luan told journalist: "This is a gravestone from Chinese Ming Dynasty. On the gravestone, there are two Chinese characters 'Chedan', which means 'bullshit' in English." Generally speaking, gravestones are usually engraved with the words such as "immortal" and "eternal glory" on them, so the "bullshit" gravestone is rarely seen and bizarre.

On the top of the gravestone, there are four Chinese characters "zai bu lai le", which mean "I won't come back any more" in English. In the center of the gravestone, there are seven Chinese characters "Tai ji xian weng tuo luo chu", which mean "the soul will be immortal". There wasn't any information about who was the owner of the gravestone or when the gravestone was erected.   

"Maybe the owner felt pessimistic when he was still alive, so he wrote down the words 'bullshit, I will not come back any more' on his gravestone." Ms. Luan said.
