The amount of corpses is just weird. Here's a story about someone who collects corpses on the Yellow River and returns them, for a bounty, to the family.

> Wei is a fisher of dead people. He scans the river for cadavers, drags them to shore with a small boat and then charges grieving families to recover their relatives' corpses. Wei said he kept the faces submerged to preserve their features. Any dispute about identity makes it harder to collect his bounty.
