Everyone sees its head shape, and with the exaggerated publicity, the black-and-white mythical bird transforms to become the embodiment of the Black and White Impermanence, a rare auspicious bird that guides the deceased on their path, helping them find their way home.
Cheng Caiyun was happy to hear that the two cranes were alive and well. Half-jokingly, she said, "Then I'm relieved. When I one day close my eyes, perhaps they could send me off, allowing me to experience the feeling of riding a crane to the West."
