Chapter 523: Chapter 322: Farewell to the World

As the fog gradually dissipated,

the people living in Sha City were eventually able to learn some information that the authorities wanted them to see through public channels.

June 4th.

Two local public media outlets reported positively on the Fei Yangyang courtyard incident for the first time.

The incident was naturally caused by Liu Xiangfeng and others’ excessive medical treatment, and many victims were also reported subsequently.

The eventual outcome was that Liu Xiangfeng, along with the hospital director, were both arrested, and the hospital was taken over by the local health department for restructuring.

The restructuring was expected to be completed within six months.

This was considered a preliminary characterization of the hospital incident, and subsequently, several other media outlets began following up with reports.

The ins and outs of the incident were finally brought to light in these reports, but every report deliberately omitted the information about Chen Pingsheng.

Only some private groups, or places that knew the rumors, discussed it enthusiastically.

“Damn… it’s been so many days and only now they begin to report, it seems the contest has yielded results,”

“What result?”

Some interested people asked below, and this was different from an ordinary gang fight.

It was a struggle at the top of this city.

The media didn’t report until after the events, if it were something usual, they would have swarmed over it early on.

Who would wait till after the event ended when the heat had died down to start following up with reports!

“What else could the result be, one side has won the tripartite contest!”

“What tripartite contest, be clearer, will you?”

“You’re so clueless, such a big hospital has stood in Sha City for over a decade, suddenly such a big issue arises, do you think ordinary people could cause this, obviously, someone upset a real big shot.”

“Who? That powerful!”

“This is supposed to be a secret, but since this group is all relatives, I’ll say it but you don’t spread it outside: the hospital offended the top entrepreneur of Southern Province, the big boss behind Tengying Group, a man whose stomp in the entertainment industry could shake it thrice.”

All kinds of rumors were flying everywhere.

Initially focused in private groups, then moving to general work groups and later to university groups and so on.

In less than two days, the news had spread everywhere.

Chen Pingsheng didn’t rush to leave Sha City; he even specifically arranged a medical college lecture event.

At the event, he emphasized heavily on just one thing.

Medical ethics.

Medical care is also the last line of defense for ordinary people; anyone who breaks this line.

Will ultimately face the extreme backlash of the common people.

Ordinary people should not be trifled with.

June 5th, grandma briefly regained consciousness in the hospital.

Her last wish was not to stay in the hospital but to die in her hometown.

Grandma just wanted her last moments to be in her place of origin.

Chen Pingsheng took her home, and grandma, who was still in good spirits last New Year, surprisingly revived in her last three days.

She could eat, laugh, and look at Chen Xinyi with complete adoration in her eyes.

On June 8th, Madam Chen passed away peacefully, smiling as she said goodbye to the world she had lived in for eighty years.

From birth, Madam Chen had lived through an era riddled with war.

It was a time of utmost chaos, where anyone with guns and artillery could be king.

There was no law, no order.

Everything depended on whose arms were stronger?

As a child, Madam Chen was always dirtily scurrying around the village.

Her family had experienced the village invasion by the enemy soldiers and also the warlord battles.

Finally, in 1949 in the east, at just 12 years old, Madam Chen.

Lifted her frail little hands, looking up at the sky.

That day, an old man at the rise of the red sun announced the establishment of the People’s Republic of China.

The whole village exploded with joy, and every household brought out their big firecrackers to celebrate this historic moment.

What followed was even more of a roller coaster ride, like a historical scroll unfolding before her.

Earning work points from divided land, brigades organizing production, educated youths going to the countryside followed one after another.

The People’s Commune became the most important governmental department of their era.

Another six years passed, and under the introduction from the village, Madam Chen met Sir Chen.

The two met for the first time, and before they could even speak, Sir Chen was sent to the battlefield for two to three years.

Later, joined by two red candles and several pieces of red papercut, they handheld hands and married each other.

Back then, divorce was a rare event; many people went their whole lives without ever hearing of anyone in their team getting divorced.

To hold hands was to be bound for life.

The couple worked together in the production team. Despite the hardships, their faces were always adorned with the purest of smiles.

As days passed by, Madam Chen, like most rural women, had a common experience.

She gave birth to four sons and one daughter.

The only hope the elderly woman harbored was for them to grow up quickly.

Days rolled on, and the torrent of history was unstoppable.

The entrance exams for college were reinstated, and the state began its reform and opening-up policies.

Most people were swept up into this surging turmoil.

In the village, many lazybones, each carrying their own pack, rushed toward the forefront of reform.

Southern Guangdong.

Some went and were never heard from again, while others returned with limitless glory.

Becoming the village’s most famous wealthy families.

Madam Chen remained unaffected, firmly believing that with her few hoes, she could still lead a good life.

In 1984, her eldest son, Chen Jianjun, had his first grandson.

Named Chen Pingsheng.

The meaning being, not seeking wealth or status, but just a peaceful and joyful life.

On June 9th, all of Wang Village set up platforms.

All commercial facilities including schools and the health clinic, closed for one day.

To commemorate the ordinary yet humble life of Madam Chen.

Hundreds of li covered with white cloth, every household displayed mourning banners.

To honor the spirit of Madam Chen in heaven.

Relatives of the Chen clan, no matter how busy, all rushed back to their ancestral home at the first opportunity.

To send off the old lady on her last journey.

Representatives came from all nearby villages and townships, the crowd was incessant.

Chen Pingsheng, dressed on stage in theatrical attire, performed “The Virtuous Young Girl” for his grandmother one last time.

The crowd was enormous, it was remarkably lively.

Like Grandpa, Grandma loved the flower drum opera the most.Update by n0vgo .c0

Wherever there was an opera in the village, no matter how far, they would make sure to go.

This ordinary life, oh.

It had not even had the chance to experience the world’s prosperity before dying amidst human greed.

On June 12th, the final day Madam Chen was to be buried.

News came from Sha City, Han Shan was arrested, along with countless others who could not escape the pervasive reach of the law.

The cash king of Sha City, who profited by endangering people’s livelihoods,

Eventually fell victim to his own grievous misdeeds.

This, too, was perhaps Madam Chen’s final consolation.

Her eldest grandson had made something of himself, and he didn’t let her leave the world wronged.

Wang Village remained the same familiar place, only it was now without the eighty-year-old Madam Chen.

For the Chen family, there might be sadness, but it wouldn’t last too long.

After all, she had lived to be eighty, which by some measures, was considered a celebration.

Especially since, over the last few days, the number of significant figures that came to mourn was countless.

Madam Chen, who lived a plain life and considered living a luxury,

Still got to enjoy boundless admiration one last time as she departed.

This was arguably the most noteworthy day of her life.

I distinctly remember, under that era marked by constant turmoil.

A bowl of white rice, a dirty little bun, that was happiness.

With Madam Chen gone, Grandpa staying alone in Wang Village didn’t make much sense anymore.

So he was taken by Chen Pingsheng to live in Magic City.

Most of the Chen family now lived in Magic City, and the old man wouldn’t likely be lonely after moving there.

Chen Pingsheng was busy with his grandmother’s funeral matters until mid-June, by which time the spoiled brat was almost on summer break.

His elder sister, Chen Yao, also moved her two daughters to live in Magic City.
