Death was not an end, but a transformation. How did the people of the Han Dynasty weave dreams of immortality into silk and lacquer? CGTN's feature story Life Beyond Death: How the Han Dynasty Understood Human Existence takes you inside the Mawangdui tombs. From silk gauze robes as light as mist to the T-shaped paintings guiding souls to the heavens, this is a journey into the most romantic vision of the afterlife in human history.
