In the early morning of February 12, 2024, Angela, chairman and CEO of the Chinese-American female entrepreneur Fumao Group, suddenly passed away in a car accident, and the legendary life is forever fixed at the age of 50.
The date of Zhao Anji's sudden death coincided with the third day of the Chinese Lunar New Year, which was supposed to be a day of family reunion, but unexpectedly, he drove into the pond of his ranch and drowned? Suddenly, it sparked heated discussions in global public opinion, including the US media, which reported and analyzed the death process of "Mitch McConnell's billionaire sister-in-law" (Mitch McConnell's billionaire sister-in-law).
A month and a half later (March 20), the local police made a public investigation report, which was characterized as an "unfortunate accident", revealing that Ms. Zhao Anji was driving a Model X home after drinking, and mistakenly hung "D gear (forward and backward) into R gear (reverse gear)", and the vehicle rushed out of the protective fence and fell into the pond and slowly sank, resulting in drowning.
Three months after Zhao Anji's accidental drowning, on the afternoon of the day before yesterday (12), American time, members of the Zhao family held a "lively" memorial service for him in New York, USA.
Judging from the exposed scene pictures, Zhao Xicheng, the 97-year-old American Chinese "old ship king", appeared at the youngest daughter's memorial service after a long absence; He was seen wearing a black suit, shirt, tie, sunglasses, and crutches, but he was in good spirits and full of energy.
Although the old "ship king" Zhao Xicheng said that he was old, he still took over the position of chairman of Fumao Group after the sudden death of his young daughter.
In the photo, the woman holding the "boat king" and wearing black silk and high heels is Zhao Xiaolan (71 years old), the eldest daughter of Zhao Xicheng, and the man behind her is her foreign husband (Mitch McConnell, the Republican leader of the US Senate).
I believe everyone is familiar with the name "Elaine Chao", she is the former U.S. Secretary of Labor, Secretary of Transportation, the first Asian woman in the White House cabinet, and her influence has caused a sensation around the world, and she has officially stepped down three years ago (2021) but is still active in the public eye.
It is reported that the old "ship king" Zhao Xicheng has a total of six children under his knees, all of whom are daughters, commonly known as "Zhao's 6 Golden Flowers", Zhao Xiaolan is the eldest daughter in the family, and Zhao Anji, who died unexpectedly, is the youngest young daughter.
When a loved one died, the grief was naturally incomprehensible, but the "weird" scene at the memorial meeting made the majority of netizens puzzled.
It turned out that at Zhao Anji's memorial service that day, not only did the eldest sister Zhao Xiaolan smile brightly throughout the whole process, but also his father Zhao Xicheng also had a smile on his face, but the foreign brother-in-law had a solemn and heavy face.
After the relevant pictures were transmitted back to China, they aroused heated discussions among netizens, and some netizens questioned, "Is her sister so happy?" My sister died and laughed like this"? "Her dad seems to be in a good mood too"!
At the bottom of the message area, an American student explained, "This is the difference between Chinese and Western cultures, and the American memorial service will laugh constantly, which is completely different from the solemn atmosphere in China."
In the local area, they call it "celebration of life", that is, the celebration of life rather than the gathering of the death of S, and the memorial service will mostly commemorate him (her) with some interesting things about the life of the deceased, so there will be a scene of Zhao Xicheng's father and daughter smiling.
However, for such cultural differences, many netizens bluntly said, "I don't dare to agree, I don't understand such a big pattern", thinking that "whether it is at home or abroad, joy and mourning are indeed not too sad, but death is the most simple common emotion of human beings."
In addition, according to a person familiar with the matter, Zhao Anji had two marriages before his death, and the former was a Jewish billionaire Bruce Wasserstein, and the marriage lasted only ten months before parting ways.
After losing her marriage, she tied the knot with her current husband Jim Breyer (a book social platform 'shadow boss'), and had a son who was only three or four years old after marriage, and could inherit a huge billion-dollar maritime empire in the future.
