Zeng said: "It struck me that people spend all that time and effort on someone when they are gone and they cannot appreciate it.

Zeng, giving a speech at her wake said, "I wanted to see what people would think of me so I decided to hold my funeral while I could enjoy it."

She hired a team of cosmetic artists who specialise in making the dead look more lifelike to make her body look more convincing.
