preface
Big S is finally buried!
She was neither buried in the tree nor buried in the ground according to her last wishes.
Korean husband Gu Junye chose thousands of choices, and finally chose the cheapest one!
The balance of buying a bag for Big S is insufficient, and now even the cheapest one is buried!
But when I saw the neighbor next to Da S's tomb, she was known to the world?
Only then did I know the "good intentions" of the S family!
01
On February 2, 2025, the well-known Taiwanese actress Da S (Xu Xiyuan) died of illness in Japan at the age of 48.
But what is even more embarrassing is the twists and turns of the aftermath.
From the initial cremation controversy, the neighborhood conflict caused by the ashes storage home, to the repeated changes to the burial plan.
This "burial tug-of-war" lasted for more than a month, and finally the S family finally finalized the burial method - tower burial.
As soon as this news came out, fans of Big S breathed a sigh of relief.
It's been a month, and now the dust has finally settled.
At first, Little S came up with the idea of tree burial, which stemmed from Big S's admiration for environmental protection during his lifetime.
Little S knows her sister's intentions very well, and hopes that through tree burial, Big S can return to nature, integrate with flowers and trees, and fulfill her last wish.
So, the S family began to apply for tree burial.
However, as a spouse, Gu Junye suddenly jumped out to strongly object, claiming:
Although tree burials are environmentally friendly, they cannot give families a place where they can truly remember Big S.
He hopes to buy a traditional cemetery for Da S, erect a monument and engrave words, so that she can truly be buried in peace.
In this way, when he and his children miss Big S in the future, they will also have a fixed place of worship.
Gu Junye's insistence broke the originally seemingly calm arrangement, and also caused a lot of speculation about him from the outside world.
Faced with Gu Junye's opposition, the Xu family had to reconsider the burial plan.
All of a sudden, ideas and suggestions arose.
Some people proposed to find a tower to place the ashes, the tower burial is not only relatively environmentally friendly, but also can meet a certain commemorative needs.
It has also been suggested that a statue be erected in the cemetery as a memorial, so that the image of the big S can be preserved forever for relatives, friends and fans to remember.
However, the two plans of "tower burial" and "standing statue" are expensive, and the S family has different opinions on this and has not yet been finalized.
It wasn't until the dust settled on the distribution of the estate (Gu Junye and his children shared the inheritance equally) that Da S's burial place was finally finalized as the spirit bone tower of Jinbaoshan Cemetery.
So what is the Jinbaoshan Cemetery?
When I saw her buried next to Da S, I knew that this place was a rare feng shui treasure!
02
According to Taiwanese media, the location of Da S's burial is in Jinbaoshan Cemetery, New Taipei City, Taiwan.
Neighbors with celebrities such as Teresa Teng and Gao Yixiang!
Jinbaoshan Cemetery is known as the "mansion of the underworld".
Its feng shui pattern with mountains and seas, artistic cemetery design, and a cemetery price of up to 10 million Taiwan dollars make it the "ultimate destination" behind Taiwanese celebrities.
The most famous is the descriptive piano landscape of Teresa Teng's cemetery.
The choice of the Jinbaoshan cemetery is endowed with the symbolic meaning of "identity", and for the star, the cemetery is not only a resting place, but also a continuation of his career.
Teresa Teng's tomb has become a check-in place for fans, which confirms this demand for "immortalization".
Although the tower burial of Big S is not as luxurious as Teresa Teng's, it still maintains the aura of her life in the way of "neighboring with superstars".
Teresa Teng, Gao Yixiang, Coco Li and other superstars are buried here.
Big S, who is also a star, is undoubtedly suitable to be buried in this "star" cemetery.
The burial place of the tower of the big S is adjacent to Teresa Teng's cemetery, although it is only separated by a wall, but it has a completely different style.
Da S's ashes are housed in a 30-centimeter-square tower cabinet in the Spirit Bone Tower, which is more compact than Teresa Teng's vast cemetery.
The exterior of the Bone Tower is solemn and majestic, and the interior is made up of layers of neatly arranged cabinets, each of which holds the ashes of a deceased person, carrying their memories and stories.
This method of tower burial, while saving land resources, also provides a relatively quiet and tidy resting place for the deceased, which is in line with the concept of low-key environmental protection during the lifetime of Da S.
Many netizens are very satisfied with this.
Big S died suddenly, and the cremation was in a hurry.
The whole funeral was chaotic, but fortunately, it was worth it to be buried in the cemetery with beautiful wind and water in the end.
The image of the S family vying for fame and fortune has also been reversed.
But as more details of Big S's burial were exposed, there was a storm on the Internet again!
Compared with Teresa Teng's luxurious cemetery covering an area of 231 square meters, the specifications of Da S's tower burial are rated as "shabby".
In particular, the public spirit bone tower it chooses is only 30,000 Taiwan dollars (about 6,600 yuan) at a minimum.
In stark contrast to the tens of millions of private cemeteries.
And this cemetery was chosen by Gu Junye!
03
As the current husband of Big S, Gu Junye led the whole process of selecting the site of the cemetery, but the motivation and economic ability behind his decision-making have been questioned.
Taiwan media reported that in order to find a suitable cemetery, Gu Junye once took his friends to "run all over Taipei", and finally chose Jinbao Mountain.
Gu Junye is so dedicated to his deceased wife, which has greatly moved many netizens:
Gu Junye still loves Big S very much!
In particular, his insistence on "retaining an independent visiting space" is considered to be a respect for Da S's attention to image and ritual during his lifetime.
However, in fact, Gu Junye is just weighing the pros and cons!
If you choose a private cemetery, the minimum 5 pings (about 16.5 square meters) of land will cost 5 million Taiwan dollars (about 1.1 million yuan), and the price of the top spirit bone tower is comparable.
However, according to Taiwan media disclosures, the public tower where Big S is finally buried only costs tens of thousands of Taiwan dollars.
Gu Junye's behavior of picking and searching instantly aroused questions from netizens:
Bald head, this is not willing to spend money!
What's more complicated is that Big S failed to mortgage real estate investment during his lifetime, and left a debt dispute.
Her mansion in Xinyi District was exposed to multiple mortgages, and the creditor even posted a debt collection notice on her doorstep.
And Gu Junye, who has lived here for a long time, "turned a blind eye".
Netizens questioned: If even the debt has not been dealt with, will Gu Junye use the inheritance to pay for the funeral expenses?
Or will the S family ultimately bear the cost?
It is reported that he received one-third of Da S's property (about hundreds of millions of Taiwan dollars) in the distribution of the estate.
But in the end, he chose a low-cost tower position, which is inconsistent with the "affectionate" character that Gu Junye has been creating.
I really don't blame netizens for being harsh, looking back on Gu Junye's "slamming the door" in his early years, it's really endless!
04
lives in Wang Xiaofei's mansion, sleeps on his mattress, and even has to pay the electricity bill.
But it was revealed that he has a net worth of hundreds of millions in South Korea? Gu Junye has always been deeply hidden.
Since the marriage between Gu Junye and Da S was made public in 2022, he has always been known for his image as a "soft rice man".
The couple's marriage ceremony can be called "minimalist": there is no traditional wedding, it is done only in the form of a family gathering.
The total price of Big S's wedding dress is less than 20,000 yuan.
The most controversial thing is that Gu Junye did not buy a physical wedding ring, but tattooed a "symbolic" ring on his finger.
This behavior was ridiculed by netizens as: "Express the most expensive love in the cheapest way".
Taiwanese media have reported that Gu Junye owns a mansion worth 60 million yuan in South Korea.
However, a follow-up investigation showed that the property under his name was actually a small apartment of 40 square meters, located in an ordinary community in Seoul, which was far from a "luxury house".
What's even more ironic is that the electricity bill of Da S's former residence once caused Wang Xiaofei to publicly protest.
The bill showed that it was as high as tens of thousands of NT$ per month, but Gu Junye, as the actual resident, did not take the initiative to bear the expenses, and Wang Xiaofei still paid in the end.
And Da S's health was worrying before his death, and he was hospitalized many times.
According to Taiwan media reports, Gu Junye once refused to pay for Japan's top medical team, and the final treatment costs were borne by Da S's personal assets.
Even when Da S's ashes were transported back to Taiwan from Japan, the charter fee was paid in full by his sister Xiao S, and Gu Junye, who was her husband, didn't pay a penny!
This behavior of picking the door to the extreme was questioned by Taiwan media:
"If it is really as he claims to have assets of over 100 million, why is he not even willing to pay for the last journey of his deceased wife?"
In this marriage, Gu Junye has not actually paid, but has obtained huge traffic dividends through marriage.
After marrying Big S, his DJ performance fee soared from NT$50,000 per show to one million.
Gu Junye's clothing brand sales increased by 300%, and social media advertising offers increased tenfold.
The only right to give up the inheritance has instead created a character of "valuing love over profit", which has brought him more long-term commercial value.
Let netizens sigh:
That is to say, Big S is rich and rich, and he doesn't want money to engage in pure love!
From the controversy over the storage of ashes to the location of the cemetery, the members of the S family (such as Xiao S and S's mother) have always kept a low profile, and only Gu Junye frequently appeared in front of the stage.
Netizens speculated:
First, the internal contradictions of the family lead to the transfer of decision-making power.
The second is that the S family intends to let Gu Junye bear the pressure of public opinion to avoid getting involved in the controversy.
After all, the big S fans were dissatisfied with the hasty cremation and the failure to hold a memorial service, thinking that this did not match their "superstar status".
In contrast, the grand funerals of Teresa Teng, Coco Li and others highlighted the "sloppiness" of the S family's handling of the way.
And Gu Junye's "affectionate" behavior has been reduced to a "show" in the eyes of some netizens.
In particular, while claiming to "protect his wife's inheritance", he was exposed to ignore debts, which seriously weakened public trust.
epilogue
The essence of the big S's burial controversy is a public discussion about "the dignity of death" and "monetary calculation".
Although Big S has been buried in Jinbao Mountain, the controversy surrounding his burial costs is far from subsiding.
Whether Gu Junye is "reluctant to spend money" may never have a standard answer.
But the turmoil has undoubtedly provided a mirror for the public:
In the face of death, the interweaving of family, love and interests is more impactful than any script.
And the story of Big S also reminds the world: the value of life must eventually return to the bloom when you are alive, rather than the hustle and bustle behind you.
