When it comes to the Coffin Guy of Huayang County, many people knew of him. His given name was Li Guan, and it was said that when he was born, his father Li Shouyi had wanted to name him "Coffin," a reflection of his profession. Working at the mortuary and dealing with coffins regularly, and being an illiterate man, he thought the name fitting.
It was Coffin Guy's mother who objected, and after a long dispute, they finally settled on the character "Guan" for his name, thus he was named Li Guan.
Yet, neighbors and others had called him Little Coffin Guy from a young age because of his father's work at the Mortuary. People found it unlucky, and children were scared, so he had few playmates growing up. This, coupled with his naturally introverted and depressed disposition, made him even more reclusive and reluctant to interact with others.
