Chapter 434: The whole country mourns
Although he had already been mentally prepared, when the last moment came, Han Xuehua still collapsed.
She leaned in front of the glass partition and saw with her own eyes that the image on the monitor showing the old man's heartbeat turned into a lifeless straight line.
The medical staff in the south building hurriedly entered the ward, and the doctor did a final examination for the old man, and after confirming his death, he recorded the time of the old man's death.
These are to be archived as historical materials.
Han Xuehua looked at Yiqiē in front of her blankly, she didn't even shed a single tear. Maybe when the old man was dying, her tears had dried up......
For more than 20 years, Han Xuehua has been like a child without a father and mother, pulling Fang Yang to grow up alone. Today is her happiest day, because her father Han Changzheng woke up, and she also got her father's understanding; And today, too, is the saddest day of her life, because she lost her father......
From now on, there will be no father......
Fang Yang stepped forward and hugged his mother's shoulders tightly, and whispered in her ear:
"Mom...... Grandpa left, without a trace of regret...... I know you're sad, but if you want to cry, cry out...... Don't hold it back in your heart......"
Han Xuehua shook his head, with a blank look in his eyes.
Fang Yang looked at the busy ward and let out a long sigh.
Tonight is destined to be another sleepless night.
The news of Old Man Han's death was soon reported to the central government overnight.
The news was broadcast on the 10 p.m. "Evening News" on state television, and the announcer reported in a deep voice:
"Comrade Han Changzheng, an outstanding member of the Chinese ruling party, a long-tested and loyal ** fighter, a proletarian revolutionary and military strategist, former deputy director of the Central Advisory Committee, former vice chairman of the Chinese National People's Congress, former member of the Standing Committee and secretary general of the Chinese Military Commission, died at 20:18 on October 4, 2010 in Beijing at the age of 89 due to ineffective medical treatment......"
Internationally renowned news agencies such as the Associated Press of Mi, AFP, and Kyodo News also broadcast the news as quickly as possible.
Many foreign media spoke highly of Comrade Han Changzheng, saying that he was "an extremely creative military strategist who played an important and crucial role in the process of seizing and consolidating political power by the ruling party in China."
The next day, Chief No. 1 led all the core conference giants in Beijing to visit Comrade Hui Yueying, the widow of Comrade Han Changzheng, and expressed condolences for the death of Comrade Han Changzheng and expressed deep condolences to Comrade Hui Yueying and other family members.
This is the central government's extremely high courtesy to Mr. Han.
Han Junfei rushed back to the capital the next morning, but he didn't see the old man for the last time.
The Xinhua News Agency broadcast the life of Mr. Han and spoke highly of Mr. Han's revolutionary life and fighting life.
In the next few days, Fang Yang, along with all the Han family, spent it in a hectic situation.
There was an endless stream of people who came to mourn, and Han Lingfei officially took charge of the Han family, he sat in the center and arranged the affairs of Old Man Han in an orderly manner.
Fang Yang is more accompanying his mother Han Xuehua.
Old Man Han's death was a great blow to Han Xuehua, and Fang Yang was worried that his mother's body would collapse, so he accompanied her almost every step of the way.
Old Man Han, who had gradually faded out of the public eye, once again became the focus of the news because of his death. His former friends wrote commemorative articles one after another, recalling the bits and pieces of his interactions with the old man; Major media also repeatedly broadcast the life deeds of the old man.
In the old man's hometown of Longnan and the places where he once fought, people spontaneously organized collective mourning activities. It can be said that the death of this respected proletarian revolutionary of the older generation has aroused the sorrow of the whole country......
On October 12th, just after the "first seven", the old man's farewell ceremony was officially held.
On this day, the auditorium of the Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery was solemn and mournful, and under the banner of "Deeply mourning Comrade Han Changzheng" with white characters on a black background, the portrait of Comrade Han Changzheng was hung. Comrade Han Changzheng lay in peace among flowers and cypresses, and his body was covered with the bright red flag of the Chinese ruling party.
At about 9 o'clock in the morning, under the leadership of the No. 1 leader, the giants of the core meeting, the members of the core meeting and other leading comrades in Beijing slowly came to stand in silence in front of the body of Comrade Han Changzheng, bowed three times to his body, made a final farewell, and shook hands with Hui Yueying and other relatives one by one to express their deep condolences.
Responsible comrades of the Central Committee of the ruling party in China, the general office of the Standing Committee of the Chinese National People's Congress, the general office of the State Council, the general office of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the general office of the Chinese ********, the central and relevant state ministries and commissions, Comrade Han Changzheng's former friends, and representatives of his hometown also went to bid farewell.
After the farewell ceremony, Comrade Han Changzheng's body was cremated in the Revolutionary Cemetery.
According to Comrade Han Changzheng's last wishes, the body was cremated and sent directly to his hometown Longnan for burial.
Hui Yueying personally held the old man's urn and walked out slowly with the support of Gu Lin and Han Xuehua. A few steps in front of them was the eldest son Han Lingfei who was holding the statue.
Han Zhongze, Han Junfei, Han Ming and other members of the Han family followed closely behind.
The group boarded a Coaster car, a military command vehicle with picket license plates opened the road in front, Coaster followed, and many vehicles going to see off followed.
The long convoy drove directly to the military airfield in the western suburbs with double flashing lights.
After a brief ceremony, sixteen honor guards of the three armed services escorted the old man's ashes onto a military transport plane. Han Lingfei, Han Junfei, Han Xuehua and other core members of the Han family also flew to Longnan on the same plane.
After arriving in Longnan, it was naturally a series of ceremonies, and finally under the escort of the local garrison, the old man's ashes were sent to the Revolutionary Martyrs Cemetery in his hometown of Jinshui County.
In the middle of the cemetery, in the shade of pine and cypress, it is the resting place of Old Man Han.
Newly built tombs, newly carved stone monuments, newly erected bronze statues......
A qiē was completed in just eight days.
Hui Yueying held the urn and muttered:
"Old Han, I'm taking you home, and you can enjoy yourself here in the future...... When I can't do it anymore, I'll come here to accompany you......"
Han Junfei stepped forward to take the urn, and slowly followed Han Lingfei, who was holding the portrait, and the two of them placed the old man's ashes in the tomb together.
A gun salute rang out.
The stone door of the old man's tomb was slowly closed.
"Salute!"
With the order of the commander of the Longnan Provincial Military Region, all the soldiers, armed police, and public security officers present raised their hands in unison, while the others bowed their heads slightly to express their condolences to Old Man Han.
When Han Xuehua saw the stone gate closed, cutting herself off from her father forever, she finally couldn't help but cry. In the continuous drizzle, Han Xuehua cried like a yellow warbler crying blood, so that the listener couldn't help but burst into tears.
Although Fang Yang was also very sad, after seeing Han Xuehua crying, a stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
It has been eight days since the old man died, Han Xuehua almost didn't eat or drink, he ate a pitiful amount every day, and he didn't shed a single tear, including at today's farewell ceremony, when the central leaders came to condole, Han Xuehua always looked lost and depressed.
Fang Yang was very worried that if this continued, Han Xuehua's body would collapse quickly. And now, when the old man was in the ground, Han Xuehua finally cried!
Fang Yang gently patted his mother's back and comforted him in a low voice.
After the ashes placement ceremony, Hui Yueying refused the retention of the local leaders and led the Han family to return to the capital by plane.
The old house of the Han family.
Hui Yueying sat in the middle, and behind her hung a portrait of Old Man Han, with cigarettes curling.
This was the first family meeting after the old man's funeral affairs were completed, and Hui Yueying, who rarely cared about family affairs, personally presided over the meeting, and on the night of the old man's death, lawyer Zheng, who stayed in the ward with Hui Yueying at the last moment, also attended the meeting.
The people of the Han family all smelled an unusual smell.
Han Zhongze, Han Lingfei, Han Junfei and others sat on both sides, and basically all the core people participated in the meeting.
Because of the death of the old man, the clansmen who worked in other places also rushed back to mourn, so this family meeting was the most complete one.
Han Xuehua sat next to Han Junfei. Fang Yang was also able to attend the meeting, but he didn't have his seat, he just stood behind his mother Han Xuehua.
For Fang Yang to be able to participate in the meeting, the clansmen of South Korea and China have a lot of complaints. Especially Han Meizi felt very unhappy. Because her son, Zhou Junning, was not eligible to attend the meeting.
In Han Meizi's mind, Fang Yang is a wild child who grew up in the countryside, and her son Zhou Junning is the real pride of the sky.
But today, this hillbilly is eligible to enter the old mansion, but Zhou Junning is turned away.
She naturally felt a burst of indignation in her heart, feeling that the old lady was eccentric. However, on this occasion, she didn't have the courage to raise objections, but her gaze at Fang Yang was full of unkindness.
Hui Yueying glanced at the audience and said lightly:
"The main thing to gather everyone today is to announce Lao Han's will."
Everyone couldn't help but prick up their ears when they heard this, this is a matter of vital interests. It can be said that the entire Han family belongs to Mr. Han alone, and the benefits are being distributed after his death, and the old man can completely decide in a word.
In fact, as early as two years ago, the old man had already made a will, and it was this lawyer Zheng who provided legal services at that time.
The Han family members present were also basically clear about the content of the will.
But there is still a lot of interest.
The reason is that on the night of the old man's death, Hui Yueying and Lawyer Zheng were specially retained, and it was obvious that the content of the will had been adjusted to a certain extent.
Han Meizi looked at Han Xuehua opposite with jealousy and hatred.
She knew that when the old man came to his senses, her attempt to force Han Xuehua away from the Han family was destined to be unrealizable. Everyone heard with their own ears that the old man had reached an understanding with Han Xuehua, and personally said that Han Xuehua would stay in Han's house.
She even guessed that the reason why the old man would revise his will before his death was mostly for Han Xuehua.
But at this time, she could only watch, but there was nothing she could do.
Hui Yueying glanced at Lawyer Zheng, who immediately nodded, took out a piece of paper and said:
"Mr. Han changed the content of the will on the evening of October 4, entrusted by Mr. Han, I will announce the content of the change below......
