"我希望被火化。按照我们的合同十分之一的骨灰应交给我的代理人。"

Simplified Meaning:

In this quote, someone is saying that after they die, they want to be cremated, which means their body will be turned into ashes. They also mention that they have a special arrangement in their contract with their agent. This arrangement states that their agent will receive ten percent of their ashes. This might sound a little strange because usually, contracts deal with money or property, not ashes. To make it easier to understand, let's say Jane is a famous author. In her agreements, she decided that when she dies, her agent, who worked hard to make her successful, should get a share of her ashes to remember her by. This is unusual but shows Jane wanted to honor her agent in an unconventional way. So, Jane's wish is both practical (cremation) and personal (sharing ashes with her agent as a sign of gratitude). This quote can teach us to think about unique ways to show appreciation to people who have helped us in life. While giving a part of your ashes is not common, it highlights the importance of recognizing and honoring those who support us in meaningful ways.
