arghton 6,756 Posted December 1, 2022 A 450-name funeral committee list has apparently been released. Wikipedia has the first 100 and for example ancients Hu Jintao, Zhu Rongji, Wu Bangguo, Song Ping, Luo Gan, Pagbalha Geleg Namgyai, Tung Chee-hwa, Tian Jiyun, Chi Haotian and others are there. I wonder if some of these have been included only for symbolic reasons or if they'll actually have to do something or attend the funeral. Some have been in failing health forever.

Hu Jintao: Parkinson and dementia, likely suffered a stroke some time ago. Zhu Rongji: Parkinson and hospitalised for the last three years Wu Bangguo: reportedly in failing health, unable to attend the Congress. Song Ping: 105 years old Luo Gan: in failing health for years Pagbalha Geleg Namgyai: ??? Tung Chee-hwa: in failing health for years, received surgery last year Tian Jiyun: reportedly frail for years Chi Haotian: doing well? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ulitzer95 12,654 Posted December 5, 2022 And here he is with Elizabeth II. Two nonagenarians we deemed to be fit and perfectly healthy just a couple of years ago. Both taken by cancer. I suppose Robert Mugabe also fits into that category. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drol 11,957 Posted December 6, 2022 Images from Jiang's funeral. Jiang looked unrecognizable, very thin and almost bald with few white hair left. Wang Yeping was on a wheelchair and looked frail. Zhu Rongji failed to attend it of course and Hu Jintao was not there either (though he was at the cremation ceremony a day before). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
