在中國傳統文化中，與死亡相關的話題長久以來屬於禁忌，並且認為生前立遺囑也是不吉利的。但老年人往往會提前立遺囑，好讓他們的子女或親屬在他們去世後合理繼承他們的財產。

誰曾想到年輕人立遺囑竟成了一股“潮流”？

近日，剛滿18週歲的大一新生小紅（化名）來到上海中華遺囑庫第二登記中心，為自己立了一份遺囑。在小紅訂立的遺囑中，她表示，希望把存在銀行卡里的2萬多的存款留給自己的一位朋友。因為這位朋友在她最傷心難過時，給予了她無私的支援和關愛。

In Chinese tradition, death is a taboo that people do not often discuss or are willing to face. But it's common to see elderly people making a will to let their children or relatives inherit their property when they pass away.

An 18-year-old Chinese undergraduate sparked a heated discussion among Chinese internet users as she reportedly made a will and left her savings to a good friend.

Xiaohong, her alias, went to the second bureau of the Shanghai branch of China Will Registration Center and made a will for herself on Saturday, Shanghai Morning Post reported.

She said she hopes to leave her deposit of more than 20,000 yuan ($3,052) to her friend, who showed support and care to help her get through hard times.

一些網友質疑小紅為什麼會在這麼小的年紀就立下遺囑，並表示在未來她會遇到更多的朋友和困難：

而另一些人則認為小紅作為一個成年人有權利做決定，併為自己的決定負責：

也有一些人同情她的父母，儘管他們撫養了她，但遺囑中並沒有提及她的父母：

The news caused a heated discussion on China's Twitter-like Sina Weibo, with a hashtag #whatdoyouthinkofpost00smakingwills garnering nearly 82.231 million hits.

Some internet users questioned why Xiaohong made her will at such a young age since she will meet more friends and difficulties in the future, while some others thought Xiaohong, as an adult, has the right to decide and is responsible for her own decision. There were also those who empathized with her parents who were not part of the will, even though they raised her.

其實，小紅並不是我國第一個18週歲就立遺囑的人。此前，就有一個湖南省18歲女孩立了一份遺囑，將父母列為財產受益人。

此外，中國遺囑登記中心一名姓傅的工作人員表示，在今年，有更多20至40歲的年輕人立了遺囑。

2020年3月，中國遺囑登記中心釋出的白皮書顯示，從2017年到2019年，40歲至49歲立遺囑的人所佔比例從27.96%增長到34.38%。白皮書還顯示，90後人數在過去三年增長了近3倍。

對此，專家表示，現在的年輕人願意用遺囑來幫助自己面對未來意外的風險。

Xiaohong is not the first one on the Chinese mainland to make a will at the age of 18.

Experts said making a will at a young age means the youths nowadays are willing to use the will to help them face unplanned risks in the future.

From 2017 to 2019, the proportion of people who make a will at the age between 40 and 49 grew from 27.96 percent to 34.38 percent, according to a white paper released by China Will Registration Center in March 2020.

Taking people born in 1990s as example, the White Paper showed that their number increased nearly three times in the past three years.

不諱生死，是當代青年展現出來的生命態度。

對於越來越多年輕人立遺囑，你怎麼看？
