The funeral workers are paid hundreds to thousands of yuan to support their children's education and even to buy houses.

"This is my hobby. I started at a young age and have been working for more than 20 years," said a woman who hired a job as a sex worker in Huynh Duong town, Ha Nam province. posted last week on Pear Video.

Those professional hires like women are willing to show extreme pain at the funerals of people who have never met and earned a good income from this job. They practice for only about an hour and a half and are paid hundreds, even thousands of yuan. Some people have an annual income of over 200,000 yuan ($ 28,000).

"I support my family by this profession and have bought a house," a hired woman revealed in a telephone interview. "I can raise two children with the money I earn and my oldest son goes to college."

However, this profession also faces some health risks such as hoarseness and eye pain due to crying too much, a relative said.

The video has attracted millions of views and comments from network users. Some objected to the crying because this action did not stem from grief over the dead.

"It is disrespectful to the deceased," one said. "Does anyone want an unknown person to appear at the funeral of their loved ones?".

However, others think that there is nothing wrong with hiring a career when helping families express their grief.
