A Chinese artist has sparked controversy for posting photos of himself with his late father's remains after removing the bones from his tomb.

The 33-year-old Beijing-based artist, known as Siyuan Zhuji, exhumed his father's remains and arranged them into a skeleton before lying down naked beside them for a photoshoot.

The photos drew widespread condemnation from net users, who called his actions 'disrespectful and utterly shameless.'

Siyuan, whose real name is Si Lulu, said he was only three years old when his father died of liver cancer and it was 'his dream' to take a photo with his father's bones.


'It was an amazing feeling. This was the closet I've ever been to my father,' the artist told reporters. 'I am expressing my feelings to him in a personal way'.

'It was necessary for me to be naked in the photos as this is how we enter and leave the world,' he said.

Si said the pictures were taken by his wife, Lin Shan, after he sought permission from the cemetery's caretaker.

'We shouldn't be afraid to show real art to the world,'

Siyuan posted the images on art website Artand and Chinese microblogging site Weibo on Saturday, a day after Tomb-Sweeping Day, China's annual festival to pay respect to the dead.

It's like hell is closer to China than any other place.

Can u imagine that!!!

Many are mad but few are roaming.
Its an utter disrespect for the dead man.
Its better he only took a pix with it and not mining the skull like our South West brothers.

That one dey

This is the definition of the Nigerian local parlance "See finish"...

Both in life and that obviously....

He will be like "Chilling with dad".

Children of nowardays, why can't he just allow the dead to rest?

Worst is that our yahooboys and celebrities will soon imitate him thinking its a new source of power.

This is a friendly reminder that man is nothing. You will only be remembered for many lives you touched, and put a smile on.
Humanity is the ultimate goal of our existence.

Some things should be left the way the are, he pictured it well as an artist.

Words lost me...

Wetin eyes no go see BTW, it's been long here Mr EXPLORERS

What nonsense photoshoot! This is why I love African parents. You can't insult them like this and go scot free. You go just receive better slap from nowhere. You go find person wey slap you, you no go see. No be person go tell you make you run.

Can you see the disadvantages of watching too much Yoruba movies

Loving son

this is simply example of an international craze man

Honestly, I lost my mom to cancer and if I had opportunity to see her again, I will do this exact thing because I was really attached to her

And wonders Continue!

My question is

See this one. You think Nigeria is China abi


Try it and receive hot slap from the ancestors.

I am suspecting this Chinese guy must be related to our skull mining descendants from the waste side. They should just make sure that the skull is intact, before it gets to the hands of Ewedugerians.

Just imagine

Let the dead rest in peace

Na sooo!
But the Chinese that are sleeping with the dead body or skeletons are much more advanced than us that respect the dead ancestors more!

Anything for the fame
