Chapter 118 118. General Peng Keli in the Nursing Home

Zeng Xinyi wrote: Zeng Changyun and Peng Keli came to Taiwan alone, and they have been together since they were taken into custody.In the first few years, people in the same case were not allowed to meet and talk, until they were transferred to the Longtan Secrecy Bureau, and everyone could meet and talk in the courtyard during the day.After being released in 1975, the authorities arranged for Zeng Changyun and Peng Keli to live together in the Zhonghe Nursing Home of Taipei Municipal Guangci Boai Hospital.Chen Mingren's residence is not far from Zhonghe Nursing Home.During his lifetime, Chen Ming often walked from his home to the Zhonghe Nursing Home to chat with two old friends.Three old people spent their old age here in Yuantong Road, Zhonghe City.Chen Mingren and Zeng Changyun were unknown to the world after they were released from prison. They lived silently under the ravages of illness for more than ten years, and died of illness one after another.

Zeng Changyun's evening scene was very miserable.He suffered from eye disease, heart disease, and various other ailments.Before the operation for the eye disease, his eyesight was already very weak and he was almost blind.After the operation, his eyesight improved for a while, and he moved from the hospital back to Zhonghe Nursing Home.Not long after, I often went to the hospital because of my eye disease getting worse and other problems.Later, he became completely blind, which made him extremely frightened, which caused a heart attack, and he was admitted to Taipei Ren'ai Hospital.After this trip, I never returned to Zhonghe Nursing Home.On July 12, 1985, on a hospital bed, he disappeared alone in the darkness with his last breath.Peng Keli went to see him the day before his death and told him to come back the next day.When Peng Keli went to the hospital ward again, he found out that he was dead, and his body was moved to Taipei Municipal Funeral Home on Minquan East Road.Peng Keli took care of Zeng Changyun's funeral.After Zeng Changyun's body was cremated, the ashes were placed in Shandao Temple in Taipei City.Peng Keli applied to return to his hometown to visit relatives. While waiting for a visa in Hong Kong, he was busy going through the formalities to bring Zeng Changyun's ashes back to his hometown in Hunan.Peng Keli was old and weak, and the marble altar containing the ashes was a heavy burden for him.He later switched to storing the ashes in a wooden box, which is much easier to lift.
