Chapter 367 Li Zhendong passes away
Li Zhendong passed away.
This caused a great shock in Hong Kong.
The clouds fly and the moon moves away, the person is gone.
After he passed away, the Li family held a grand funeral for him.
As the pioneer of the Li Group, his funeral was destined not to be low-key.
The mourning hall was basically decorated according to the highest standards, with a solemn and dignified tone, and a large number of white chrysanthemums were spread in front of the portrait.
A row of wreaths made of green leaves were placed on both sides of the seats, the ground was covered with a blue carpet, and above the portrait was hung a plaque written in Lishu script that read "Deeply mourn Mr. Li Zhendong."
At the funeral, all the celebrities and wise men gathered, and everyone was honored to carry the coffin.
Li Zhendong's friends and partners came on stage to speak one by one.
Through everyone's words, Jiang Li finally filled in the missing stories of Li Zhendong's past 60 years.
Jiang Li then realized that the reason why the Li family was able to develop so well in Hong Kong was because Li Zhendong had supported GM in 1950.
It was the 50s, during the CX War.
After China entered the war, MG manipulated LHG to impose a comprehensive blockade and embargo on China. Under MG's leadership, dozens of countries accepted this resolution.
This means that China cannot export any goods to these countries, nor can it purchase any goods from these countries.
Wars are fought to a certain extent with logistics. At that time, domestic production capacity was limited, and various military supplies were quite limited. Western capitalist countries, led by MG, adopted blockades and embargoes against the mainland, which made it impossible to meet the supply of materials for soldiers fighting on the front line, and made the country, which was already in a state of disrepair, even worse.
At that time, Li Zhendong was engaged in shipping trade. When he learned about the plight of the soldiers, he stepped forward immediately and secretly started the "ZS" business.
He organized all his fleets and transported various emergency supplies to the inland day and night, braving the artillery fire of the enemy's remaining forces.
At that time, Hong Kong was still under the control of the British. His behavior naturally aroused their dissatisfaction. Even he himself was in danger of being arrested at any time, but he still insisted on doing it.
Fearing that the crew would be afraid and retreat, Li Zhendong even took the lead and personally escorted the crew many times to ease their concerns.
Since becoming a businessman, Li Zhendong's actions have been closely linked to patriotism, and he has been sincere and consistent in his work, which is a significant difference between him and other businessmen.
Li Zhendong's life is enviable, he started from the bottom of society and became a wealthy man. But not everyone can survive this kind of hardship.
Born in troubled times, Li Zhendong experienced the hardships of life early on. However, this did not defeat him, but instead became his motivation to move forward. He started as a small businessman and gradually expanded to various industries, showing outstanding business talent and strategic vision. Unlike many profit-seeking entrepreneurs, Li Zhendong always adheres to his love for the motherland in his heart.
He gradually built his business empire through hard work, perseverance and wisdom. But his success lies not only in the accumulation of wealth, but also in his personal charm and deep feelings for his motherland.
At 11: am, the funeral procession began. According to traditional Chinese customs, Li Zhendong's eldest grandson, Li Mubai, dressed in a black gown, held his grandfather's portrait in both hands, and walked in the front with a serious expression, leading the entire funeral procession. Following behind were Li Canghai and Li Yunze.
Jiang Li was wearing sunglasses and standing beside Li Mubai, accompanied by Chen Luo, who was holding an umbrella for Li Mubai.
The pallbearers included political leaders, business partners, and close friends. All of them were well-known figures in society, but they were all willing to carry Li Zhendong's pallbearer and send him off on his last journey.
During the funeral, everyone held back their tears and just shed them silently.
But when the body was buried, everyone couldn't help but burst into tears.
Li Yunze cried so hard that he fell to the ground.
"Dad! Dad!"
"I don't have a father anymore"
From then on, no one hit him with a cane, no one came to unplug the power cord when he stayed up late playing games, and no one got up early in the morning to pull back his quilt and call him to get up for breakfast.
Dad, I haven't been filial to you in this life. In the next life, I will still be your son.
Li Canghai was also crying. He had relied on his father's protection all his life. Now that his father was gone, he felt even more lonely.
Compared to them, Li Mubai, who had remained silent, made Jiang Li more worried.
Except for the day when Li Zhendong passed away, Li Mubai cried once. After that, he didn't shed a single tear and buried himself in the many matters of the funeral.
Jiang Li was just afraid that he was deceiving himself. Once the funeral was over and everything was done, he would collapse.
At night, Jiang Li accompanied Li Mubai to sleep as usual, but in the middle of the night, Jiang Li suddenly woke up, touched the quilt next to her, and found it was cold.
She found Li Mubai standing on the rooftop. At that time, he was standing there like a dead pine tree, staring blankly at the sky.
Just seeing the back of her, Jiang Li felt her heart twisted into a knot.
He lost weight.
But in just a few days, the shoulders looked a lot sharper.
Jiang Li resisted the urge to cry and walked over silently.
Li Mubai heard the noise, but he didn't turn around or lower his head. He just looked at the sky silently, from this side to the other side, as if searching for something.
"I heard that when people die, they turn into stars. I wonder which star Grandpa turned into."
Jiang Li suppressed her sobs and pretended to be calm, saying, "That must be the brightest one."
Li Mubai nodded gently: "I think so."
Suddenly, he pointed in the direction of the sky: "Maybe it's that one. Look, those four stars are so close to each other. Maybe they are my grandma, my grandpa, my father and my mother..."
Jiang Li heard Li Mubai choking in his throat, and he couldn't continue speaking.
Jiang Li gently pulled up his hand, trying to give him some warmth, but found that her hand was not much warmer than his.
"Mu Bai, you still have your second uncle, your young uncle, and you still have me..."
Feeling Li Mubai's hand trembling slightly, Jiang Li couldn't help it anymore and hugged him.
"Mubai, just cry, you'll feel better after you cry."
Li Mubai didn't cry out loud, but Jiang Li still felt his silent pain from her wet shoulders.
"Li Li, I don't have a grandfather anymore."
The death of a loved one is never a downpour, but a long dampness in this life.
"He has not left. Look, at this moment, he is watching us from the sky..."
"If death means walking into the arms of loved ones, then what is there to be afraid of?"
Li Mubai was silent for a long time, and Jiang Li felt that his breathing seemed to gradually calm down.
"Yes, my parents will take good care of him over there."
Li Mubai gradually stood up, and his voice seemed to have more power.
"Grandpa didn't leave, he went to reunite with his family."
Li Mubai slowly raised his head, his eyes piercing through the endless darkness, staring at the deep and mysterious night sky. He seemed to be able to see the vague figures of his deceased relatives, gradually moving away into the distance.
Jiang Li, who was standing beside him, accompanied him silently, like a quiet sculpture. Her eyes were filled with tears, but she tried hard not to let them fall. There was a heavy silence between the two of them, and no one wanted to break this tranquility easily.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the long wait seemed to freeze the whole world. Finally, after a breeze blew, Li Mubai took the lead in breaking the suffocating silence. His voice was low and powerful, and there was a gleam of determination in his eyes: "Lili, no matter how many difficulties and setbacks we will encounter in the future, we must face them with strength and work hard to live every day. Only in this way can grandpa's spirit in heaven rest in peace."
Hearing this, Jiang Li could no longer suppress the surging emotions in her heart, and tears flowed out of her eyes like a dam breaking. However, she still tried to squeeze out a warm smile and nodded gently.
On this quiet night, they leaned on each other and silently made a vow in their hearts - they would fill every inch of their days with love and care; they would also comfort Li Zhendong's spirit in heaven with practical actions, proving that his departure was not the end, but the beginning of another beautiful journey...
