Chapter 145 go back

Liang Shuming was admitted to the hospital due to illness at the end of April 1988, and his children and grandchildren took turns taking care of him day and night. In an interview with a Taiwanese reporter in May, he only said: "Pay attention to traditional Chinese culture and follow the trend of the times." This can be regarded as his last words. On May 11, he called his eldest son, Pei Kuan, to the side of the bed, signaling that he had something to say.Pei Kuan prepared a pen and paper.He said: "A person's lifespan is limited. The doctor said that the doctor can cure the disease, but not the life. My life is over, and the life span is like this. Sometimes I can take some medicine and something that suits my taste. There is no need to prolong your life." Pei Kuan asked him if he had anything else to explain, and he only said frankly, "Cremation."

The farewell ceremony for Liang Shuming's body was held in the farewell hall of Beijing Hospital. Hanging on the entrance gate of the mourning hall was an elegiac couplet drawn up by Liang Peikuan's second son, Liang Qinning: saving the country and the people through vicissitudes of a century;The horizontal batch is: the backbone of China.When Liang Qinning posted it, the staff stopped him, but he persisted.
