On February 25, 2024, Zong Qinghou unfortunately passed away due to illness at the age of 79.
At that time, 10,000 people at the memorial service came to the scene just to see off the elder for the last time, as if this scene happened yesterday, but I don't know that almost two months have passed now!
On April 17, a netizen exposed Zong Qinghou's cemetery, but what people didn't expect was that Zong Qinghou, who had a net worth of hundreds of millions before his death, had a very simple cemetery.
Judging from the photos, the construction of Zong Qinghou's cemetery is no different from most cemeteries, there are no complex totems and styles on the tombstones, and the surroundings are not like those in the TV series, surrounded by mountains and rivers, just an ordinary mausoleum.
If you look closely, the walls behind you have also become different shades of color due to the accumulation of rainwater, and there are even cases of tiles falling off and moss growing on the side.
It is worth mentioning that there are no splendid offerings and furnishings in front of the tomb of the elder Zong, all of them are flowers and Wahaha products, and the most eye-catching thing is the pair of cloth shoes.
Looking back at Zong Lao's life, he was very thrifty, and when he was met by netizens, he often appeared in cloth shoes, and it was precisely because of this image that he had the reputation of "the richest man in cloth shoes".
However, this is also in line with the frugal style of the elder during his lifetime, after all, people live for a lifetime, life does not bring death and does not take away, and the seemingly simple mausoleum of the elder of the sect just reflects his excellent character.
It is reported that Zong Lao had confessed before his death that he would keep everything simple after his death, and it is not difficult to find from the furnishings of the cemetery that Zong Fuli still complied with his father's wishes.
From the messy order of placement on the altar, it seems that these are all sent by fans, perhaps when they came to worship their ancestors, they found that the cemetery of the elder was next to it, so there was a messy tribute, but the pair of cloth shoes must have been prepared in advance.
And the red letters on the tombstone of the elder also reveal the difference of the tomb.
Tombstone in scarlet
On the tombstone of the elder Zong, in addition to the pair of cloth shoes, the color of the word "mother" engraved on it is also a little different.
From the typography, it can be seen that this is a double-cave tomb, and the photo of the mother on the tombstone is a flower, and the font is red.
It is reported that this is the custom of Zhejiang, if one of the double cave tombs is still alive in the world, the font should be written in red, and it will not be changed to gold until the burial.
Recalling that the news of the death of the elder had just been exposed, there were many flowers sent by mourners at the gate of Wahaha Dachang, and there were also teams of people who spontaneously came to mourn at the memorial meeting.
The red flag car with a special license plate number parked at the entrance of the mourning site also raised the identity of the patriarch to a new level.
When everyone was doubting whether Zong Fuli could successfully take over the industry left by Zong Lao, Zong Fuli had already made changes to the company.
Carry out reforms in a big way
Before Zong Fuli fully took over, she first made the first reform to Wahaha.
That is to replace Leehom Wang, who has been the spokesperson for almost 20 years!
On a variety show, in the face of the question thrown by the host, "Do you like this packaging and spokesperson"?
Zong Fuli bluntly said "I don't like it"!
In fact, she did.
There is no doubt that many netizens did not understand this decision at the beginning, but they didn't understand what the use was, the decision has been made, and employees can only comply with and implement it.
I thought that Zong Fuli replaced the spokesperson because of personal factors, but who expected that the spokesperson had just been replaced in 19, and Wang Leehom was exposed to various scandals 2 years later.
From splitting legs in marriage to with multiple actresses, Leehom Wang, a star who has been popular for most of his life, has also collapsed.
At this time, everyone discovered that Zong Fuli's vision was really poisonous, and then Wahaha's spokesperson was changed from the national star Wang Leehom to Xu Guanghan, an artist in Taiwan Province who was not popular at that time.
And the reason why Zong Fuli chose Xu Guanghan is very simple.
Not because he is handsome, nor because of his good acting skills, but because Xu Guanghan treats his career seriously and purely!
Although Xu Guanghan was not very popular at that time, he was better than he was young, after all, there are opportunities in the entertainment industry, but the most important thing to be an actor is the original intention.
And Wahaha also believes that Xu Guanghan's attitude towards his career is very similar to his own propaganda concept, and he maintains the same concept of his original intention, and he is a pure person and water!
Like Zong Lao, Zong Fuli has also been very low-key since returning to China, as the only daughter of Zong Qinghou, Zong Fuli's marriage is undoubtedly the most concerned thing for everyone.
But Zong Fuli has proved with reality that she seems to be only interested in work, and now the 42-year-old Zong Fuli's emotional status column is still blank.
Although studying abroad in advocating freedom, it is reported that Zong Fuli has never been in love.
And this is also something that the elder of the sect was very concerned about before his death, and even publicly recruited a son-in-law, saying that he did not have high requirements, as long as the other party was good to his daughter and was willing to work.
In order to make her daughter's peach blossoms more vigorous, Zong Qinghou will actively take her daughter to attend an event, one is to "recognize people", and the other is to worry about her daughter's marriage.
In almost many activities, there are single men who come forward to talk to Zong Fuli, and some people even take the initiative to shake her hand, but in exchange for only Zong Fuli's embarrassing smile.
In the interview before, when Zong Fuli was asked about emotional problems, she also bluntly said "follow fate".
When faced with what the other half should look like in order to be worthy of herself, Zong Fuli admitted that she is a Capricorn (constellation), and she is more inclined to be more pragmatic than her appearance and talent.
However, the sentence "If you meet it, you will encounter it, and if you don't meet it, forget it", it also confessed Zong Fuli's openness.
Maybe Zong Fuli will be an analogy with her father to find a other half for herself, after all, with such an excellent father in front, a little inferior to a man, presumably Zong Fuli will not take it in her eyes at all, at least she must be better than herself.
After all, people are still relatively "strong".
But a man like Zong Lao, who has not changed his original intention and is low-key and humble, is so easy to find.
Perhaps, as Zong Fuli said, just follow the fate!
Zonglao's cemetery also reflects his principle of doing things from beginning to end, and it is no wonder that so many people love him.
