Part of funeral ritual to escort the soul of the deceased in its journey from the human domain to another world in a mountain village in the west Hunan province. Two kids wear a straw cover with the tip looked like a rooster head. Roosters, along with black dogs, are said to contain more yang energy in their blood than any other animals so they can prevent beings (visible or invisible to human eyes), from disturbing the transition of the deceased and colonising the vacant rundown shelter (the corpse).
