On March 26, 1986, Chen Yonggui died of lung cancer at the age of 72. At that time, the famous writer Ma Feng attended the National People's Congress in Beijing, and suddenly received an obituary, which said that Chen Yonggui died of illness and died of cancer, and was scheduled to hold a farewell ceremony at the Babaoshan Funeral Home on the afternoon of a certain month.
Ma Feng was unconscious, and he wanted to go to Beijing Hospital to visit Chen Yonggui, who was ill, but he was late and couldn't help but fall into deep regret. Ma Feng thought that the farewell ceremony of Babaoshan must go himself, and he must make a final send-off for Chen Yonggui.
He came to the Babaoshan Funeral Home according to the time and place indicated in the obituary, but the door of the memorial hall was very deserted and empty, and Ma Feng thought that he had gone wrong, but it was clear that the obituary was written like this. The driver prompted Ma Feng that there were several small halls behind him, and when he arrived at the small hall, Ma Feng found that some cadres in Dazhai were smoking on the steps.
Just then, a high-end sedan approached, stopped outside the door of the farewell room, and came down a man in a trench coat and sunglasses. Someone immediately recognized that it was Hua Guofeng, and it turned out that he had also come to send Off Chen Yonggui.
At this time, Chen Yonggui was lying quietly in the flower bush in the center of the hall, and Chen Yonggui, who was tortured by the disease, had a emaciated face and wrinkles, and although he had gone through makeup, it was still difficult to hide his haggardness and withering.
Hua Guofeng first bowed three times in front of Chen Yonggui's body, raised his head, did not say a word, silently stared at Chen Yonggui, tears flowed unconsciously, the friendship between the two was very deep, but now it is eternally separated.
The whole mourning scene, in addition to the hidden sobbing, very quiet, Hua Guofeng shed tears around the body of Chen Yonggui who looked like a sleeping Chen Yonggui, slowly walked around, his eyes never left Chen Yonggui's face full of vicissitudes, he shook hands with Chen Yonggui's family one by one, and left the farewell room.
Hua Guofeng became the only senior leader at Chen Yonggui's funeral.
