Lin Sirer's cemetery was chosen in Fenghuangling, known as the back garden of the capital, and located in the Xishan Cemetery in Haidian District.
The reason why we chose this place was Hua Nianping's suggestion to the Lindsons.
He once heard Lin Sir'er say that she was born in a place called Head Head Village under Fenghuangling. At that time, Professor Lin, an intellectual, and his wife were sent to this village to undergo labor reform.
On the day when the ashes were buried, it was very foggy at first, and then it started to drizzle again.
The journey to Xishan Cemetery is almost fifty kilometers. And funeral convoys usually drive very slowly, and the journey takes nearly 2 hours.
After passing the Summer Palace, Hua Nianping saw the Central School from the car.
Since he went to Guangzhou with Chen Hongli to participate in a social practice project more than ten days ago, he responded to Li Li and Han Shengmei's repeated requests and left the research team alone to stay at Shenzhen Watt Company for two days, which lasted more than a week. I have not returned to the Central School, and I have not had time to report my whereabouts during this period to the organization.
This was an extremely serious violation of the school's strict student management system. Even if he was expelled from the Central School, Hua Nianping seemed to have forgotten all about it.
Lu Zhichao did not rush back from the United States to attend Lin Sirer's funeral.
Although his father, General Lu, issued repeated orders, Lu Zhichao only sent someone to present a check of US$500,000 to the Lindsons. However, Professor Lin was ignored by Professor Lin in front of General Lu. The couple's faces were torn into pieces.
This made the Lu Jiangguan couple’s original desire to negotiate custody of their granddaughter Ya Shi as if they had poured a bucket of ice water over their heads and stopped mentioning it for the time being.
Hua Nianping also met the person who delivered the check for Lu Zhichao.
He thought for a long time, and then from the person's very thin stature and Cantonese accent, he recalled that at the award ceremony of the Huaishang God-making Competition, the Shanghai Fu who had exchanged greetings a few months ago Representative Tan from Keden Company.
Today, Representative Tan also appeared in the funeral procession with General Lu and his wife, holding a black umbrella with a long handle and a pointed end.
Hua Nianping slowly put Lin Sirer's urn into the grave with trembling hands.
The tombstone reads "My beloved daughter Lin Sirer", "Born on a certain day of a certain month in 1979 AD, and died on a certain day of a certain month in 2011". The person who erected the monument said Mr. and Mrs. Lin Dexun. With granddaughter Ya Shi.
Lu Zhichao’s name did not appear, and even the surname “Lu” was omitted from the name of his daughter Yashi.
General Lu and his wife had already noticed this embarrassing situation, and they felt ashamed and stood a little further away like outsiders.
But Representative Tan was wedged in the crowd in front of the tombstone.
From the small photo of Lin Sirer on the urn, Hua Nianping seemed to see the young and delicate face that was filled with youthful happiness on the night when he was married to her for the first time more than ten years ago.
At that time, the two of them were very close to each other. Because they were imagining a future life of endless love, they actually brought up the topic of one day in the future, who would die before the other and who would be left to bear the loneliness and sorrow of the other.
They fought back and forth, but Hua Nianping finally gave in. Following Lin Juemin's tearful confession in "A Letter to My Wife", Lin Sirer took the lead, promising that he would die before her, lest he Hua Nianping was left alone to grieve and feel lonely. He didn't expect that the vow made more than ten years ago was still in his ears, but Lin Sirer passed away so tragically and prematurely.
All the scenes with Lin Sirer in the more than a year after returning to Xinjiang were constantly tumbling in Hua Nianping's mind.
He recalled the sudden encounter with Lin Sirer at the door of the School of Economics at Peking University after not seeing each other for many years, and the complex emotions and sadness it brought to both of them.
Hua Nianping recalled with guilt that since he left Beijing and was assigned to the Enyuan Group in Huaishang, although Lin Sirer still had an old love and expressed her longing for him again and again, he was almost
Cold and almost hypocritical, she repeatedly restrained herself. So much so that the two finally failed to relive each other's dreams, and Lin Sirer had no choice but to embark on a sad journey back to the United States with the pain and regret in her heart.
He thought again of the skull USB drive that Lin Sirer had carefully entrusted to him for safekeeping at the last moment of his life. It was safely stored in the pocket of his shirt. Because he had been taking care of Lin Sirer in the hospital, he still has it so far.
Don't bother to find a computer to open it and see what important secrets are stored in the skull USB flash drive?
For many days, Hua Nianping had not closed his eyes once. His head was rumbling, and exhaustion mixed with sadness and irreparable regret made him suffer from splitting pain.
At this time, he really hoped that the drizzle above his head would become heavier and drag him into the violent storm.
"Si'er, the love in my heart, farewell forever!"
Just when Hua Nianping silently said his final farewell to Lin Sirer in his heart and stood up in a daze, he felt that his disabled left leg and the bend of the knee had been stabbed hard by someone with a sharp object.
Suddenly his knees weakened and his whole body dived forward.
He first knocked his forehead against Lin Sirer's tombstone and received a blow. Then his head was bounced back and hit the sharp edge of a granite stone, and then his body did not move.
Everyone heard a muffled "bang" and saw Hua Nianping fall to the ground. A large amount of blood mixed with rainwater stained the soil around Lin Sirer's tombstone.
Amid the exclamations, someone was heard lamenting and shouting: "Hua Nianping died for Lin Sirer!"
Just after everyone was struggling to lift Hua Nianping away, someone else panicked and shouted, "It's not good, Mrs. Lin has fainted too!"
Fortunately, the funeral is over.
After Lin Sirer's uncle put his sister into his car, he thought that Hua Nianping was still alive and dead, so he had to ask the general Lu in a hurry to ask the couple to help Hua Nianping.
Take him to the hospital for emergency treatment.
Although General Lu was reluctant, he could only reluctantly agree.
Because Professor Lindson was worried that his wife would be overly sad, he originally did not allow her to come to the funeral of his daughter. However, Mrs. Lin was determined to see her daughter off for the last time, and her granddaughter Yashi also needed her to take care of her at all times, so she had no choice but to allow it.
Now, Hua Nianping and Mrs. Lin had accidents one after another, which made him almost anxious to the edge of collapse.
Now seeing his wife's brother entrusting Hua Nianping to General Lu, although Lin Dexun felt vaguely that something was wrong, he had no one else to turn to.
General Lu's car was a heavy off-road military vehicle.
The general's wife was originally very hostile to Hua Nianping, wishing that he would really commit suicide and die in front of the tombstone. When she heard Uncle Lin Sirer said that she asked her husband to take Hua Nianping to the hospital for rescue, she felt even more sad.
It's a hundred dissatisfactions.
Moreover, when she saw that Hua Nianping's head was spewing blood uncontrollably, and she was disgusted that the seats in the car would be soiled by him, she ordered the driver and Representative Tan who came with him in the car to stuff Hua Nianping into the car. Put it in the trunk and take it away.
When Hua Nianping was being carried into the car, one of his leather shoes fell off, but no one noticed.
Although the light rain in the sky did not stop, Representative Tan threw the pointed umbrella in his hand out of the car window.
On the way down the mountain, the driver drove the car very fast. You could hear Hua Nianping's head colliding with some hardware object in the trunk from time to time, making violent knocking sounds.
The general's wife gloated and thought that even if Hua Nianping had not died just now, he would not survive after all the bumps and falls along the way.
