    Ma Shitu (1915-2024)

     

    "No birthday party? And where the hell do I get my cake?" (Wang Huo reacts to the death of his eternal friend)

     

    "Tsk, tsk, not everyone has what it takes to be a king" (King Jimmy I)

     

    "T...th...this does mean I can die too?" (Zhang Lixiong)

    Age at death: 109

    Known health issues: Terminal lung cancer in 2003, lung cancer and skin cancer in 2019, frail and hospitalised multiple times in 2020, severe COVID in 2023.

    Cause of death: autopsy pending.

    Alignment: Jovial writer who fled from the Kuomintang in the early 40s, and his wife was killed. Hugely popular in his later years, when his story Let the Bullets Fly was adapted into a popular (in Mainland China) movie, Ma Shitu was able to stand and exercise until the end so his demise was still kind of unexpected. Ma Shitu would become king of Immortals after Jimmy's death, but apparently not for this life.

    I was wondering if Iehiko Uji (correct spelling? japanese wiki) is still alive. Son of Prince Kuni Taka (1875-1937), born Prince Iehiko, renounced imperial title and created Count Uji, member of Japan's at-the-time upper house House of Peers from 1940 to 1942, lieutenant in WWII. If alive, he's 102 now and likely the last living member of Japan's House of Peers.

     

    Japan has atleast ex-Prime Minister Tomiichi Murayama. As far as I know Taro Nakayama isn't a WWII vet. Not sure if there are any others.

     

    Germany has DDR ministers Hans Reichelt, Herbert Weiz, Werner Schmieder (not 100% sure if Schmieder and Weiz are alive), arguably also Hans Modrow. Ukraine has former Vice Prime Minister Ihor Yukhnovskyi.

    Ihor Yukhnovskyi dead at 98.

    None of those hospitalised died in the last two rounds. There must be a Jesus working in each hospital, otherwise you just can't explain this score of super old and frail geezers surviving illness after illness.
