Chapter 212 Memorial Service
Chapter 212 Memorial Service
"Grandma, Grandpa, I want to ask you, the bodies of Chairman Wang Hengxiu and Gu Chunlei's brother have been cremated, and the next step is the memorial service. I just called the doctor and he said that Gu Chunlei's condition is not very stable. Do you think we should wait a little longer, or not let Gu Chunlei attend the memorial service, and explain to her after she recovers."
"This matter is really difficult. If you don't let Gu Chunlei participate, after she recovers from her illness, will she blame you? Also, since Chairman Wang Hengxiu passed away, you have been making decisions for her and handling so many things. After she recovers from her illness, will she blame you for being selfish and unfair? I am a little worried about you, and I am even more afraid that your kindness will not be rewarded." said Grandma Chen Yalu.
"Grandma, that shouldn't happen. When Chairman Wang Hengxiu was kidnapped by Kuang Xinghua and her four siblings, Gu Chunlei called me the first time. She believed in me and said that everything depended on me. Don't worry, Grandma, I will weigh the pros and cons and act prudently," Qian Yizheng explained.
"Yizhen, there is a saying that goes, 'If a couple does not attend a funeral, then disaster will come to them if they do.' This means that if one of the couple dies, the other should not attend the funeral, otherwise it will bring bad luck to the living person.
Therefore, the reason why spouses cannot attend the memorial service is well documented, and I think Gu Chunlei's mother should know this. You don't have to worry too much, just ask for the opinions of Gu Chunlei and her daughter before holding the memorial service. "Grandpa Lu Kaipu said.
"Grandpa and grandma, I understand. Thank you for your guidance and reminder. Wang Min and I will go to the Provincial Mental Rehabilitation Hospital tomorrow to visit Gu Chunlei and others, and discuss the relevant matters regarding the memorial service for Chairman Wang Hengxiu." Qian Yizhen said.
"You must remember to tell Gu Chunlei and her daughter clearly about who should not attend the funeral to avoid unnecessary trouble." Grandpa Lu Kaipu further emphasized:
Elderly people who are in frail health? They may have health problems such as heart disease and high blood pressure, and attending a funeral may aggravate their condition.
Pregnant women and children: Their bodies are weaker and easily affected by the external environment. The sad atmosphere and crowded crowds at funerals may cause discomfort or harm to them.
People who are estranged from the deceased?: They may be estranged from the deceased or even have conflicts with him/her for various reasons, and may feel embarrassed or uncomfortable attending the funeral.
People with mental illness: They are more susceptible to the sad atmosphere, which can lead to emotional out-of-control or worsening of their condition.
The cultural and psychological considerations behind these rules are to avoid bringing bad influence to the living, while also considering that attending funerals may have adverse effects on the physical and mental health of some people.
Qian Yizhen nodded repeatedly and said, "Grandpa, I'll remember it. We will pay attention and be more careful."
The memorial service for Chairman Wang Hengxiu is scheduled to be held at the provincial capital funeral home three days later, and secretary Liu Xinyue will be responsible for notifying relevant personnel.
Sufficient preparations have been made for Chairman Wang Hengxiu's brother, sister, and relatives from his hometown who will attend the memorial service, as well as for possible events that may occur.
Uncle Chen Haoyu reminded Qian Yizhen: "Remember to organize and preserve all the information about the events after Chairman Wang Hengxiu's death, including taking some photos at any time for future use, especially to give an explanation to Gu Chunlei and her son. No matter how many years later, it will be enough to prove the truth of the restoration of the facts to avoid unnecessary disputes."
"Okay, uncle, I'll take note of it. You are very thoughtful. Thank you." Qian Yizheng said gratefully.
Three days later, Professor Jiang Yuhan, Wang Wei, Wang Min, Ming Yuanhui, Qian Yizhen, Qian Yiyun and a group of people arrived early at the provincial capital funeral home for the memorial service for Chairman Wang Hengxiu. The funeral home staff had already arranged everything according to the highest standards.
People from all walks of life who came to attend the memorial service arrived at the memorial service one after another.
Zhang Shuo, deputy general manager of Hongwei Construction Group, stood in front of everyone and raised the microphone with a heavy heart. Dear relatives, friends and guests:
Good afternoon, everyone. I am today's host, Zhang Shuo. I am honored to be here to host this solemn memorial service. First of all, on behalf of the deceased's family, I would like to express my sincerest welcome and gratitude to you all.
Today, we gather here to remember Chairman Wang Hengxiu and pay our final respects to him. The deceased was a person who deserves our deep remembrance and admiration, and his departure has brought us great sadness and loss.
Below is the eulogy given by Chairman Wang Hengxiu’s son Wang Wei.
Wang Wei's eyes were bloodshot, and he walked forward slowly with great sadness. Dear relatives, friends, elders, and fellow villagers from my father's hometown:
Hello everyone! At this heavy and sad moment, we gather here to remember a loving father, a person we deeply love and miss - my father Wang Hengxiu.
Today, with an extremely heavy heart, on behalf of our entire family, I would like to express our deep gratitude to everyone here and bid our final farewell to my father.
My father was born on X/X/XXXX and left us forever on X/X/XXXX at the age of 60. His life was ordinary yet great.
Through his unremitting efforts, he made Hongwei Construction Group Company famous, and used the profits to donate to the Civil Affairs Bureau to help poor rural homeless households build houses, and to the Women's Federation to help out-of-school girls, etc. My father is like a thick book, recording endless hard work, silent dedication and deep love.
.....
May my father rest in peace in heaven and his soul find eternal peace. Thank you all!"
Wang Wei choked up as he finished reading the eulogy he, his mother, and his sister wrote for their father Wang Hengxiu.
After the memorial service, Wang Wei held his father's urn and prepared to go to the provincial capital's cemetery to bury his father. Chairman Wang Hengxiu's eldest brother ran up and asked, "Wang Wei, the dead should be buried in their native land. You should bury your father in the camp of the Wang family's ancestral tomb in your hometown."
"In our hometown, we prefer burials over cremations. This is already disrespectful. Do you want your father to live in another place after his death? You are an unfilial son."
"Uncle, when your eldest grandson got married, he didn't have a wedding house, so he occupied my parents' house in his hometown. My dad had no place to live when he returned to his hometown, so how could he go back?" Wang Min said.
"You stinky little girl, you have no right to speak in the Wang family." said Chairman Wang Hengxiu's eldest brother.
"Over the years, the houses for my eldest brother, second brother, sister-in-law, my younger brother's family, and my nephews' weddings were all built by Wang Hengxiu for you.
I was not aware of this and it was not given my consent. According to the law, the brick house you live in is the joint property of me and my husband Wang Hengxiu.
So, at least half of the brick house you live in now belongs to me, do you understand? I am considering whether to sue in court to get back the half of the property rights that belong to me. You have to think about it in advance, whether you want to give me money or a house. "Professor Jiang Yuhan said seriously.
