    Who are the immortals?

    Yan Mingfu (1931-2023) I offer myself as a hostage, mr. Reaper (Yan MIngfu trying to solve his issues with death) Shoot him AND the Reaper! (Song Ping) Age at death: 91 Known health issues: Myasthenia gravis in 2002, liver disease in 2010, wheelchair bound and suffering from neurodegenerative illness since at least 2012, looked like a zombie in his last appearance in 2018. Cause of death: Everything Alignment: Good natured guy who offered himself as a hostage to Tian An Men students and pleaded not to shoot them. Of course his reward was being kicked off by every office, courtesy of his archnemesis Song Ping. Coming back to duties in the 2000s, he was a bit of a respected figure in his late years, often visited by Wen Jiabao. His death leaves fellow immortal Hu Qili as the only living cadre who opposed Tian An Men bloodbath.
