這是從一開始就知道結局的故事，大鴻是一個在靈堂工作的堂官，過去他曾經服安眠藥自殺不遂，後來又經歴過一場意外大火，在醫生判斷他存活率極低的情況下從死亡邊沿獲救。康復後大鴻一直受傷患困擾，燒傷的臉容亦令他飽受歧視，生活充滿痛苦。直至他癌症復發，死亡再次逼近，這次他選擇坦誠面對鏡頭。大鴻深信死後世界的存在，在靈堂工作的他早就為自己規劃過身後事，甚至可能他其實憧憬著擺脫痛苦的自由世界。這本書紀錄了大鴻生命最後的三年時光，與攝影師之間的對話，以及大鴻自己拍攝的照片。
This is a story with a known ending from the beginning. Big Hung is an official who works in a funeral parlor. In the past, he attempted suicide by taking sleeping pills but failed. He also experienced a major accident, a fire, where he was saved from the brink of death despite doctors predicting a low chance of survival.
After recovering, Big Hung continues to suffer from injuries, and his burned face leads to discrimination, making his life full of pain. Eventually, he faces a relapse of cancer, and death once again approaches. This time, he chooses to face the camera with honesty. Big Hung firmly believes in the existence of the afterlife and, working in the funeral parlor, he has already planned his posthumous affairs. Perhaps, deep down in his mind, he longs for a pain-free world of freedom.
This book chronicles the last three years of Big Hung's life, attached with scattered dialogues between the photographer and Big Hung, in addition, some photos taken by Big Hung himself.
