Chapter 64 Section 64: Died 5 times before passing away

On August 1st, Hong Kong was stormy and rainy all night. On that day, Lu Jingshi, whom Du Yuesheng regarded as a lifeline, arrived in Hong Kong from Taiwan.In fact, that day, Lu Jingshi arrived at Songshan Airport at 5 o'clock in the morning, just before dawn. Due to the typhoon in Hong Kong, Songshan Airport announced the suspension of flights. Lu Jingshi was very worried, but he couldn't do it. Departure on August 2. That night, Du Yuesheng's face was gray and depressed, surrounded by his close relatives and friends.Du Yuesheng looked around, all faces were anxious, so Du Yuesheng frowned again, with a wry smile on his lips, he announced:

"I made a wish today. If the person in my heart can fly to Hong Kong, then my illness may be cured, but just now I received a telegram from this person saying that he can't come today, so I now know that my illness will never get better." Du Yuesheng's family members, relatives and friends tried their best to comfort him and persuade him not to be superstitious.But an extremely impatient look appeared on Du Yuesheng's face. He waved vigorously to those who were scrambling to comfort him, saying yes: "alright!" When everyone was silent, he kept his mouth shut ever since, lying on the bed with his eyes wide open, looking up at the ceiling, as if he was resting, or thinking deeply.The room was silent, and the pressing low air pressure made the people in the room look sad and gloomy.

The night of the hurricane was finally passed safely. On the morning of August 2nd, the sky was full of haze, and occasionally there was a strong wind and rain in the sky. I called the airport and asked about the typhoon. Quite a lot. There was a plane from Taipei to Hong Kong that morning. Kai Tak Airport did not know whether Lu Jingshi was on board, so there is no comment.After discussing with Dumen's relatives and friends gathered in the living room, they decided not to tell Du Yuesheng and Lu Jingshi whether they would come or not.Better wait until you have certainty, and then tell him, lest he arouse hope and be disappointed.Because his state of mind at this time may not be able to bear such a blow.

But Du Yuesheng firmly believed that Lu Jingshi would definitely arrive on this day, so he seemed in good spirits. He insisted on getting up and going to the living room. His family, relatives and friends knew that he was trying his best to cheer up and wait for Lu Jingshi, so no one dared to dissuade him.When eating lunch, he also eats with everyone in the living room, and his eyes are visiting the door from time to time. Just after dinner, before moving chopsticks, the phone rang, and Du Yuesheng paid special attention to it. The person who answered the phone heard the other party's voice, and immediately reported to Du Yuesheng happily:

"It's Zhu Wende calling from the airport." Du Yuesheng nodded, put the chopsticks on the table, and waited for the news from the phone, only to see Wan Molin put down the phone, and ran over, shouting: "Brother Jingshi is here! Zhu Wende said that he ran to the airport at 5 o'clock this morning, so he caught the plane and is going through the formalities at the moment, and he can come by car right away!" On Du Yuesheng's face, he was dubious, with a half-smile, he shook his head slowly, and said coldly: "Fake, fake, just trick me to be happy."

Having said that, everyone noticed that he had put down his rice bowl gently, which obviously meant that he wanted to wait and eat together when Lu Jingshi arrived, so all the people present also put down their bowls and chopsticks unanimously . From outside the door of the Du mansion to the living room, there were people stopping and looking forward to it. Therefore, when Lu Jingshi and his party arrived at the Du mansion, cheers erupted from the outside to the inside: "I'm coming!" Du Yuesheng at the dinner table couldn't wait, he stood up tremblingly, so many people rushed in from the door of the living room, surrounded by the dusty Lu Jingshi.Immediately behind Lu Jingshi were Wu Kaixian, Shen Chubao, Zhu Wende and Du Weifan who went to pick him up at Kai Tak Airport.

When Du Yuesheng saw Lu Jingshi, he couldn't help but wept with joy. Tears rolled in his eyes, he shook his sleeve with his right hand, and eagerly stretched out that withered and skinny hand to hold Lu Jingshi tightly. At the same time, he gently patted Lu Jingshi's back with his left hand over and over again. Lu Jingshi and Du Yuesheng hadn't seen each other for a long time, but when they met for the first time, they saw that he was so sick and dismembered, how emaciated and weak?There was a burst of soreness in his heart, and two streams of hot tears were about to come out of his eyes, but he knew that it was not appropriate to cry at this moment, so he tried his best to hold back.The members of the Dumen who gathered around saw his eyes were red, and everyone silently recited in their hearts:

"Brother Jingshi, you must not cry." Lu Jingshi couldn't hold back his tears, but he couldn't speak a single word because he couldn't speak. At this moment, he could only hear Du Yuesheng sighing in a tone filled with emotion: "Even my son may not be able to come immediately when he heard the news of my serious illness. Jingshi, you have such an important job in Taipei, and you are so desperate to go to Hong Kong. I am very grateful." .” Lu Jingshi was so sad that he couldn't bear it, he could only say dully: "Sir, this is what I should do."

So Du Yuesheng became excited again, with a look of joy on his face, he asked with concern: "Jingshi, you haven't eaten yet, have you?" Lu Jingshi nodded.In fact, fearing that he would be one step late and not get on the plane, he rushed to Songshan Airport before dawn in heavy wind and rain, not to mention lunch, he had never touched his teeth for most of the day. "Come, come!" Du Yuesheng pulled Lu Jingshi's arm: "I was just waiting for you, now let's eat together." Du Yuesheng pulled Lu Jingshi to sit down side by side with him, and greeted Wu Kaixian, Zhu Wende and Shen Chubao graciously, and asked the eldest son Du Weifan to also take a seat, the servant immediately brought the food, Du Yuesheng looked straight at Lu Jingshi, he stretched out He stretched out his right hand to pick it up, but that right hand was trembling due to excessive excitement and excitement.The servant had indeed handed the rice bowl to his hand, and he also caught it, but for some unknown reason, the rice bowl shook and fell to the ground with a "clang".

Qi Qiao smashed a rice bowl into two pieces, and the rice beside Du Yuesheng was scattered on the floor. As if suddenly there was a huge thunder, the faces of the people in the living room suddenly changed, and the huge living room was as silent as death. Then there were voices of relief, hesitation and perfunctory one after another: "Hurry up and add another bowl!" "Sweep it away!" "It doesn't matter, Sui Sui (Sui Sui) is safe!" The servant quickly added more rice and swept the broken bowls and rice grains off the floor.Eating lunch in the Du mansion was originally a supreme enjoyment praised by everyone. The chef of the Du mansion, Xiao Yazi, cooks excellent hometown taste, famous food and wine, from a steady stream.The host is very hospitable and well-known all over the world, and all of you here are confidantes and friends, going all over the world, making jokes.The chat topics of the talkative guest are all-encompassing and full of surprises. Having this meal at Du Mansion always makes people happy and forget to return, feeling comfortable all over.However, the lunch at the Du Mansion on August 2 was filled with heavy hearts and unwillingness to eat, and even the best friends couldn't think of a word to explain it away.

Only Du Yuesheng was talking slowly with Lu Jingshi while holding a bowl full of rice: "In the first half of this year, there were fewer episodes of illness. I thought it was getting better. I thought that since the beginning of this month, my feet have suddenly become paralyzed, and I can hardly get off the ground. What's more painful is that I can't sleep day and night, and my asthma has returned. It's getting worse and worse, and when I get sick to this point, I know I must be dying. Because I have a lot of things to ask you, so I wrote letters and telegrams to urge you to come. It's not because I have no reason I'm making you anxious, because I'm really afraid that I won't be able to see you after two days, Jingshi, I'm so happy that you came today, I thought I could still be cured of my illness." Lu Jingshi was so upset that he tried his best to think of a few words to comfort Du Yuesheng: "Mr. has been suffering from asthma for a long time. As long as he rests for a few days, he will recover naturally." "No," Du Yuesheng shook his head sadly and said, "I won't be able to get up this time. If you don't come on August 1, it means that my life is over and cannot be saved. Where did I think that on August 1 I suddenly There was a typhoon, the plane couldn't fly, and you were forced to stay in Taipei. This incident is a bad omen for me. In addition, I broke my job just now. Wouldn't it be more ominous? I think This is not a superstition, but God is telling me that I will never get up again." Lu Jingshi had no choice but to forcefully reply with a smile: "My husband also said that it's not a superstition. August is already the typhoon season, and it's even more common to lose one's job." Du Yuesheng laughed it off and stopped talking.From this day onwards, Lu Jingshi served the sick all night long, with his clothes untied. It was not that Du Yuesheng insisted that Lu Jingshi serve the decoction, and Lu Jingshi knew that the time between teachers and students was very short. Leaving lightly.In addition, Du Yuesheng always discusses with him on important and confidential matters. He often wakes up, opens his eyes and shouts: "Kingshi!" If Lu Jingshi is not there, Du Yuesheng will feel that something is missing, and he will relax when he hears the news and arrives.In modern China, when it comes to personal friendships, Du Yuesheng went from being a famous public figure to being a trafficker and pawn. Even if he only opened a list, he would have to write a thick book. In terms of its vastness and number, contemporary It can be said that there is no second person, but when he was ill and blind, he seemed to have only one Lu Jingshi.Lu Jingshi keeps emphasizing that this is fate, but in fact, in Du Yuesheng's heart, there may still be a feeling of "knowledge all over the world, how many friends can be friends". From August 2nd to August 16th, Du Yuesheng never left the sickbed. After eating the unlucky lunch that broke the rice bowl at noon on the 2nd, Du Yuesheng was helped back to his wheelchair and slowly pushed towards him. room, help him to the bed, take off his clothes and sleep well.From this moment on, Du Yuesheng gave his family, relatives and friends an impression, as if he was anxiously waiting for Lu Jingshi to come two days ago, once Lu Jingshi arrived, he would be satisfied with no regrets, he could only sleep on the bed and wait to die This thing is up. Burning the ointment to take the blame, accompanied by attendants, and giving Du Yuesheng the last heart, this job is very difficult, because Du Yuesheng, who is on the final journey of life, not only suffers from asthma, but also suffers from physical exhaustion and laxity, so he The diet and sleep all deviate from the normal track.He can only sleep very little a day, especially the short sleep that is obviously not enough, and he has to divide it into several sleeps. The most troublesome thing is that no one can know whether he is asleep or just resting his eyes. , often saw that he was already in a deep sleep, and was about to tiptoe out to do some private business or take a breath of air, but Du Yuesheng opened his eyes at the right time and shouted feebly: "King Shi!" "Mommy!" Or: "Your Majesty!" So, no matter if it was Lu Jingshi, Meng Xiaodong or Yao Yulan, they all stopped and walked back to him to ask: "Is there a problem?" However, Du Yuesheng's answer was mostly a slow shaking of the head. In fact, this is just his last bit of attachment to the world. He can talk as much as he can to his beloved, and see as much as he can. Suddenly waking up like this, blurting out, Du Yuesheng yelled the most times were Meng Xiaodong and Lu Jingshi, so Meng Xiaodong and Lu Jingshi seemed to be tied by an invisible but powerful rope before Du Yuesheng's sick bed, and Lu Jingshi got rid of everything. The public and private affairs came all the way to serve the sick, while Meng Xiaodong had a deep affection for Du Yuesheng. At this time, she wished she could die with her own body.These two people who can't leave Du Yuesheng for a moment, who wouldn't want to wait by Du Yuesheng's side every minute and every second?However, both Meng Xiaodong and Lu Jingshi had their own difficulties. Meng Xiaodong's health was not good at first, and she only had the role of "serving the soup and medicine" when she entered the Du family. In the end, she will never be able to afford it, the great sorrow crushed her to the bone, and she could not eat or sleep. If Du Yuesheng didn't need her, she would have already fallen ill. People are pitiful, so I don't know how many people advised her to take care of her body. If she gets sick again, how much blow will it bring to Du Yuesheng?The Donghuang, who was once the leader of the chrysanthemum altar and was a fan of thousands of people, always shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said softly: "I don't care." Since Meng Xiaodong joined the Dumen, she has been taciturn and aloof from the world. She is a strange woman in the world, a strange flower in the Dumen. In terms of talent, vision, heart, and wisdom, she cannot get along with most people.When she returned to Du Yuesheng, Du Yuesheng was already over sixty years old, and he was a sick man.At the height of the sun, the golden age of giving and receiving has long passed, and the money in his pocket is exhausted, and the limit of living is approaching step by step, so Meng Xiaodong's entry into Dumen is to thank his confidant and promise him with his body.For the rest of his life, Du Yuesheng can proudly say: "I have never failed anyone in my life".But in the last stage of his life, he got Meng Xiaodong's tenderness and heartfelt love, which made Du Yuesheng deeply feel his chivalry, and he still felt ashamed of Meng Xiaodong's kindness, so he said "until the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Only then did I know love", Meng Xiaodong was his last warmth and comfort in the world.So he couldn't leave for a moment. Since the day Lu Jingshi arrived in Hong Kong, he has tried his best to stay with Du Yuesheng every day, but he has two difficulties. But the house in Kennedy is not spacious, there are people living in every room, Lu Jingshi sleeps very little every day, just leaning on the sofa, so after staying up for a few nights, he explained it to Du Yuesheng first, every day At two o'clock in the afternoon, he left the "Old Master" for a while and went out to do business.Or go to a friend's house for a short nap before rushing back. During the period when Du Yuesheng was dying, several great physicians who often treated Du Yuesheng, including Wu Zishen, Liang Baojian, Ding Jiwan, Wu Bizhang, Zhu Hebian and Lu Jingshi, all had deep friendships.So Lu Jingshi took advantage of them coming to see a doctor one after another, and asked them one by one, how dangerous is Du Yuesheng's illness this time? The answer he got was "doctors shook their heads", especially his fellow brother Zhu Henei who said it most thoroughly. He followed Du Yuesheng all the way when he retreated to Shanghai and came to Hong Kong. He has been treating Du Yuesheng for two and a half years. Zhu Henei Straight to the point: "'Old Master' is seriously ill this time, and I'm afraid that medicine and stones can't be effective. Because 'Old Master' has all three of 'essence, energy, and spirit', and it's hard to delay it no matter what." Hearing this, Lu Jingshi felt very sad, he was already desperate for Du Yuesheng's recovery, and hearing the tone of these great doctors, it seemed that he was still implying that he should prepare for his funeral as soon as possible, and he was afraid that it would be too late.At this time, he was extremely embarrassed and hesitated, how to deal with the funeral?Du Yuesheng had to explain something himself first, otherwise he would not be able to speak out.The most difficult thing is that it must be very embarrassing for Du Yuesheng to do the funeral. According to Lu Jingshi's understanding at the time, Du Yuesheng's financial situation is not as rich as the rumors outside, on the contrary, he can be said to be in poverty, but Du Yuesheng still has four wives. Room, 8 sons and his 3 beloved daughters. On the morning of August 4th, Du Yuesheng slept for a while. When he woke up, the sun was shining brightly and the sky was bright. He didn't breathe, and he didn't even use an oxygen mask.Except for Lu Jingshi who stayed in the room all night, Yao Yulan, Meng Xiaodong, Du Weifan, Du Meiru and several other people saw Du Yuesheng's calm face and refreshed spirit. Unexpectedly, his lips moved for a while, and he opened his mouth to call out: "Kingshi!" Lu Jingshi quickly agreed, and hurried to the bed, so Du Yuesheng looked straight at him, said with a calm smile: "While I'm still in good spirits, I want to talk to you about how to deal with my funeral." Everyone in the room was shocked when they heard Qi Qi, Meng Xiaodong was the first to cry bitterly, but she immediately took out a handkerchief to cover her mouth; Yao Yulan, Du Weifan and others also swallowed their sobs. Lu Jingshi was saddened in his heart, he couldn't speak, so he nodded to show that he was listening attentively. Du Yuesheng looked at Lu Jingshi, and then glanced at his wife and children who were sobbing. He looked solemn, and his tone was very calm and low, as if he was talking about other people's affairs. "This is Hong Kong, not Shanghai. We are here as guests, so the funeral must not be extravagant." After a pause, Du Yuesheng continued: "From the soul transfer to the funeral, there must be no more than 3 days before and after. When I go, I wear a robe The mandarin jacket, this is the clothes I have worn for most of my life." Lu Jingshi still only nodded. "However, there is one thing that costs two tins more, my coffin." Du Yuesheng paused, and then explained: "It's not that I want to buy a good coffin because I want to show off, but that I don't want to be buried in Hong Kong." , "The trees fall thousands of feet, the leaves fall back to their roots". When I was alive, I couldn't reach Taiwan because of this life-threatening shortness of breath. After I died, I still wanted to be buried in Taiwan. In the future, I will counterattack the mainland and recover Shanghai. Then I will lift up my coffin. I ask you to bring my body back to Shanghai and bury it in Gaoqiao, the place where I was born." Having talked too much, he was a little tired, so Du Yuesheng rested for a while before continuing to explain to Lu Jingshi. He first said with a self-deprecating: "In my whole life, I have spent hundreds of millions of foreign coins in my hands. Once I stretch my feet, I only want you to fulfill my wish in this matter, let me spend two more coins, and keep the rest simple. The most important thing is to remember that we are When you are in trouble, you must avoid showing off in everything, so as not to be criticized by others. Therefore, no matter whether you are hanging or going to a funeral, you are absolutely not allowed to put on any ostentation. If you don’t listen to me, then you are not loving me, but you are hurting me.” Next, he repeatedly urged that after the body was buried, it should be moved to the yizhuang of the Donghua Third Hospital, because the chairman of the East China Third Hospital is Du Yuesheng's old friend and partner.Li Yingsheng is a Cantonese. He has lived in Hong Kong for many years after leaving Shanghai. He has influence in Hong Kong, which is enough to protect the safety of Du Yuesheng's coffin. Regarding the drafting of the will and the distribution of property, Du Yuesheng only gave a rough indication of a few principles, and then he said: "The night after tomorrow, Jingshi, you invited Mr. Qian, Mr. Jin, Mr. Gu, Brother Kaixian and Brother Caicheng to come over here for a light meal. I will trouble the six of you. Let's discuss it first." From this day on, Du Yuesheng concentrated his mind and arranged his funeral affairs one by one. For his wife, children, close relatives and friends, and even the servants who served him, he explained to each of them individually, but due to too many people; Du Yuesheng couldn't finish what he wanted to say, so he could only use his limited energy to talk for a while, rest with his eyes closed, and rest for a while, and when his mental and physical strength recovered a little, he struggled to say a few more words, so some people listened to it all at once. Some people waited and waited for his earnest instructions, splitting up the words he said many times, and adding them up to know one thing, some exhortations.The eyes of family members, relatives and friends were red and swollen, and they shuttled back and forth before Du Yuesheng's sick bed. It was so difficult for him to say a few words, but he was eager to say more. Thinking back to his glory in Shanghai and Hong Kong... the shocking scenes People's hearts are drawn to the past, and thinking about people is still the same, and Luo Zhong is about to collapse, so when they leave his room, they all burst into tears and mourn aloud. At 7:00 pm on August 6, Qian Xinzhi, Gu Jiatang, Jin Tingsun, Wu Kaixian, Cai Cheng, and Lu Jingshi screened everyone in the living room and secretly discussed Du Yuesheng's will. The 6 people had a long talk while eating, Du Yuesheng was still awake in the room at that time, he repeatedly took care that no one would break in and disturb the conversation of the 6 of them. Lu Jingshi was the first to speak. He reported the principles that Du Yuesheng had taken care of him in the past few days. He also revealed that when he received a telegram from Hong Kong that "he was critically ill and came quickly" in Taipei, he knew that Du Yuesheng's funeral must be arranged as soon as possible. He once interviewed Hong Lanyou, Tao Baichuan, Liu Hangchen, Wang Xinheng and Lu Guang within a day, and asked them how to deal with Du Yuesheng's death.At this time, he also described the opinions provided by the five friends of Du Yuesheng one by one. Therefore, the six people here took into account the principles put forward by Du Yuesheng himself, plus suggestions from friends in Taipei, and drafted three drafts of wills one after another. Then there is the legacy analysis. Among them, what family members and relatives are most concerned about, of course, is how to distribute Du Yuesheng's inheritance?At that time, no one knew how much money Du Yuesheng still had, so we could only make a principled distribution ratio, and the ratio was set as Du Yuesheng's 4 wives, 8 sons and 3 daughters, each receiving half of the inheritance. The four wives shared half of Du Yuesheng's estate equally, and among the 8 sons and 3 daughters, it was strictly stipulated that the unmarried ones would get one-half more than the married ones. At 9 o'clock, the three drafts of the will had been drawn up, and Du Yuesheng was still awake after asking, so six friends and concierges entered Du Yuesheng's room together with the three drafts of the will.At this time, Mrs. Sun, Yao Yulan, Meng Xiaodong and Du Yuesheng's children in Hong Kong were all sitting or standing beside his sick bed. Therefore, Lu Jingshi read out the contents of the three wills.Du Yuesheng concentrated and listened attentively. He occasionally interrupted and corrected some words, but generally speaking, he almost agreed with everything. The will was read to Du Yuesheng, and with his permission, it was considered finalized.Qian Xinzhi, Jin Tingsun, Gu Jiatang, Wu Kaixian, Xu Caicheng, and Lu Jingshi were appointed as the executors of the will. Although Qian Xinzhi is an old friend for many years, Du Yuesheng has always called him "Mr. Qian". Jin Tingsun and Gu Jiatang are sworn brothers , Wu Kaixian is also a good friend of 20 years, Xu Caicheng is one of Du Yuesheng's confidantes before and after the Anti-Japanese War, and Lu Jingshi is the leader of Hengshe. He and Du Yuesheng have always been in love with each other. Du Yuesheng has been solving problems all his life, and he has always kept his promises. No matter what strange, complicated and complicated things are in his hands, they will be easily solved and all settled.Only in his own mansion, when the gate is closed, since there are five wives and many children, and they have been together for decades, it is inevitable that there will be times when their teeth touch the skin of their lips. It is of course quite difficult to be absolutely safe. On the night of August 6th, everyone in the Kennedy Mansion knew about it. This was an important moment for deciding the will and distributing the inheritance. For these family members, it was about their personal future and future life. , The concentration of attention is self-evident, so some people are unavoidably worried that there will be any discussions, disputes or unexpected disturbances this night.However, when Lu Jingshi read out the draft of the will aloud, it was OK for Du Yuesheng to slightly revise it. At that time, Du Yuesheng's three wives in Hong Kong, 4 sons and 3 daughters, were silent and had no objection, and a major matter was resolved peacefully. Du Yuesheng calmly stated the amount of his inheritance until the will, which only listed the distribution method, was confirmed in public.After explaining a few family matters, he said: "I only have a sum of copper cash, which I leave to my family members for living expenses. I entrust Mr. Song Ziliang to keep the money. The amount is 100,000 US dollars. Because Mr. Song bought stocks with this money on my behalf, and he earned a little bit. About $110,000." At this time, all the people present were stunned and stunned. No one thought that Du Yuesheng, who had been swaying in the golden mountains and silver seas all his life, would leave a legacy of only about 110,000 U.S. dollars to his huge family, which is equivalent to Hong Kong dollars. More than 600,000. 3 wives, 4 sons and 3 daughters divide the money, how much money can one person get? But Du Yuesheng ignored everyone's reaction. After he finished speaking, he let out a long breath, and then, like an old monk in meditation, he gently closed his eyes. From August 7th, Du Yuesheng spent more time in deep sleep and less time in waking up, but his deep sleep was only to cultivate energy, so that he could properly arrange his funeral, and among all the messy things Among them, what Du Yuesheng pays most attention to is the exchange of money between him and his bosom friends, and the accounts are clear.People owe people hundreds of thousands of millions. Among such people, it is always "one word", and there is no account, and there is absolutely no written evidence. Therefore, it must be cleared up by him "one word". At 5:40 p.m., Du Yuesheng fainted suddenly. Someone ran over to take his pulse and shouted earth-shatteringly: "Oh, Mr. Du's pulse is gone!" Immediately, his wife, children, and children burst into tears, and at this moment, someone found that Du Yuesheng was urinating non-stop, so he comforted loudly: "It's okay, it's okay, there's still pee!" It just so happened that all the Chinese doctors were waiting, and they couldn’t prescribe medicine in a hurry. In the panic, someone rushed out to make a phone call, asking Wu Bizhang who was the nearest to come quickly, but he didn’t arrive in a hurry until 6:20.This time, Wu Bizhang really sold out all his strength. He used artificial respiration to let Du Yuesheng catch his breath first. The "artificial respiration" emergency rescue lasted for half an hour. At this time, no one thought that Du Yuesheng would be able to return to life Hope, but Du Yuesheng woke up leisurely at 7 o'clock and let out a long sigh. Because Wu Bizhang tried his best to treat him, he finally recovered. At 8 o'clock, he received two booster injections, and then he pulled the dying Du Yuesheng back from the gate of hell. On August 8th, the beginning of autumn, Du Yuesheng's illness did not improve. He woke up from time to time, always complaining that his mouth was thirsty, and frequently asked people to fetch watermelon juice.In fact, Du Yuesheng didn't know that his family obeyed the doctor's instructions and mixed anesthesia into watermelon juice to temporarily anesthetize him, refresh him, and improve his urination. In the morning, he drank several cups of special watermelon juice. Sure enough, at noon, Du Yuesheng suddenly became sober, and his energy was sluggish. He looked around and saw the faces of his wife and children vividly. Then he asked: "I've explained everything, if you have any questions, please ask me quickly." His wife, children, and children just kept sobbing, and no one asked questions, so Du Yuesheng asked Lu Jingshi again: "Mr. Song Ziliang, do you have a call back?" "Here's a call back." Lu Jingshi said hastily, "In addition to the 100,000 US dollars, there are some profits, all of which are with him." "That's good." Du Yuesheng seemed to be overwhelmed with everything, and he seemed to be endlessly relieved when he said it. At this time, family members and relatives came forward to make suggestions. They all agreed that the attending physician at that time was too cautious, so "the water was too aura". Uncertainty, Du Yuesheng's pain can be relieved immediately, so that he can quickly "take the medicine early". Du Yuesheng looked at this group of people with a kind of pity in his eyes, which aroused their courage even more. Someone mentioned Zhang San, and someone recommended Li Si. "Forget it!" Du Yuesheng replied coldly, like a basin of cold water extinguishing endless hope, he said with a wry smile: "Why do you want me to suffer more?" Du Yuesheng's so-called "suffering" is not because he pretends to be hypocritical, because the "essence, energy, and spirit" have been exhausted. In the first step, his excretory system is completely damaged, and he defecates and defecates naturally. , Occasionally, it cannot be discharged, and tools have to be used to "pass" with copper gongs. The pain during "passing" is naturally beyond the tolerance of flesh and blood. On August 10, the doctor said that Du Yuesheng had better sleep more, but he was conscious and couldn't close his eyes. He talked frequently with Lu Jingshi, and suddenly Du Yuesheng reached out and felt under the pillow.Then he took out a towel bag. "Jingshi." Du Yuesheng handed the towel bag to Lu Jingshi's hand and told him, "Here is 7,000 US dollars." "gentlemen---" Du Yuesheng then explained: "You score a point for me." "Sir." Lu Jingshi hurriedly asked, "Who will it be distributed to?" Du Yuesheng's answer was a grand sigh, and he couldn't bear to hesitate: "Speaking of it, only Mommy suffers the most. Besides, the third floor doesn't have copper in hand." So Lu Jingshi obeyed Du Yuesheng's wishes and decided to distribute the 7,000 US dollars to Meng Xiaodong 3,000 yuan, and Mrs. Sun and Du Weifan 2,000 yuan each. On August 11, Du Yuesheng wished for death and had no desire to survive. He sighed and said that life is boring, and no one has ever suffered such a crime like him.Another unlucky thing happened on this day, that is Du Yuesheng's old friend Jiang Ganting, who heard the rumors of Du Yuesheng's death in Kennedy who did not know where, and rushed all the way crying, beating his chest and feet, wailing loudly. Li kept howling: "Brother Yuesheng, why did you just go!" The crying alarmed No. 18 Kennedy, Wan Molin hurried to the door, he saw Jiang Qianting was crying hoarsely, and kept shouting: "Brother Yuesheng, you are going!" Chosen to complain loudly to the big brother: "Mr. Jiang Gan, are you here to poke Mr. Du's bad luck because you are full and have nothing to do?" "I touched Mr. Du's bad luck?" Jiang Qianting was very surprised, and immediately stopped his mourning, he asked anxiously: "Mo Lin, what do you mean by that? Could it be that I, Jiang Qianting, will also touch Mr. Du's bad luck ?" He clearly knew that this was a misunderstanding, but Wan Molin was in a bad mood because of Du Yuesheng's life, so he took advantage of the problem and severely complained about the gray-haired, old and healthy Jiang Gan, and Jiang Ganting also Understanding his psychology, he was nothing more than anxious for Du Yuesheng, thinking that he was not good, how could he burst into tears without asking indiscriminately, so he ended the farce without saying a word. On the 10th, Du Yuesheng was sober for a while, he called out: "Jing Shi," and said suddenly: "You find a way to move me to Sanatorium and Hospital for inpatient treatment." Lu Jingshi didn't ask, was Du Yuesheng worried about his family members, or did he think that there might be hope for improvement in hospitalization?Or, he was unwilling to die at 18 Kennedy, turning it into a funeral home, which would only hurt the living family members, relatives and friends in the future?He immediately went to discuss with Liang Baojian, Wu Bizhang and several other doctors, but the answers he got were all shaking his head, and the doctors said in unison: "Judging from Mr. Du's current situation, his illness has reached a very serious stage. Moving from home to the hospital will inevitably involve bumps and accidents." When Lu Jingshi replied to Du Yuesheng, of course it was inconvenient to speak directly as the doctor said, he just vaguely said that the Sanatorium and Hospital had to arrange in advance.After hearing this, Du Yuesheng remained silent, but since then, he never mentioned going to the hospital. However, from the next afternoon, Du Yuesheng fell into a coma, moved his lips occasionally, even if he put his ears on it, he couldn't hear what he was saying clearly. At 3:30 a.m. on August 13, the doctor found that he had no pulse and that he had stopped breathing, so Liang Baojian and Wu Bizhang gave him emergency treatment.At this time, most of Du Yuesheng's many friends were waiting at Du's mansion in Kennedy, waiting to see him off. Some of them stayed up all night, exhausted, and went home to rest. Here, all the friends arrived, Liang Baojian and Wu Bizhang's first aid injections took effect again, Du Yuesheng woke up for the second time, and came back to life again. On August 14th, at 2:40 in the morning, the doctor made the last rescue and decided to transfuse 250cc of blood for Du Yuesheng. The 250cc of blood was transfused for 1 hour and 40 minutes. At 3:30, before dawn, Du Yuesheng received the third transfusion. He was desperate, but this time he could neither open his eyes nor speak, he lost his voice, his eyes were slightly closed, there was only a hole in his mouth, his eyes narrowed, and occasionally there was a rattling sound in his throat , all relatives and friends have understood that Du Yuesheng is only one step away from death. At 6:1, he suddenly fainted again in a coma, and his pulse and breathing stopped for the fourth time.Relatives and friends shouted: "It's not good!" Liang Baojian ordered the nurse to inject a cardiotonic injection. Du Yuesheng entered the state of death for the fourth time, and was dragged back 8 minutes later. No one thinks that Du Yuesheng survived the day of August 14th, but a miracle happened. When Lu Jingshi and others were separately making calls to ask someone to prepare for the funeral for "Old Master", a visitor from afar suddenly came. Lu Guang, who was an administrative consultant, came here from Taipei to see him off. Lu Guang was in a hurry. After arriving at Du's mansion, he went straight to the sickbed. He saw Du Yuesheng's situation and couldn't help being miserable, but he was anxious in his heart, so he leaned close to Du Yuesheng's ear and told him loudly, regardless of whether Du Yuesheng could hear him or not. : "Mr. Hong Lan is coming to Hong Kong tomorrow. The president asked him to express condolences to Mr. Du in person. We had originally agreed to come to Hong Kong on the same plane today, but because Mr. Hong Lan was late, he asked me to tell Mr. Du that tomorrow noon We must rush to Hong Kong. And Weishan, he will also take the plane tomorrow." One sound, over and over again, Du Yuesheng, who was dying, seemed to hear it. Everyone was surprised to see that when his eyes widened, his lips moved, and Du Yuesheng was nodding his head slightly. 所有的医生都认为这是难以置信的事，自８月１４日下午至１５日中午，杜月笙不需任何药物，仅只是吕光带来的一句话，“总统命洪兰友面致眷念慰问之忱”，带给杜月笙无限的鼓舞与感奋，他又活下去了。其间，只不过在１４日夜晚和１５日清晨各通了一次大小便，杜月笙还忍住了痛楚，他不曾呻吟，身体也不起颤动，仿佛肉体上的痛痒和他完全无关。 杜门亲友围着吕光问长问短，吕光说了些台湾亲友对于杜月笙病笃的关怀，还有好些朋友即将分批赶来，和他自己一样，想跟杜月笙见上最后一面。吕光又说：他是接到钱新之的电报，才放弃一切事务搭机来港，钱新之曾在电报中关照，以杜月笙和吕光的缘分，他应该赶来送杜月笙的终。 ８月１６日下午２点１５分，在台湾求学住在陆京士家中的杜维善得了陆京士的急电，由陆京士夫人陪同，先一步自台湾飞到香港，他走进大门时即已泣不成声，于是由陆京士趋前加以抚慰，嘱他不要在病人眼前落泪。然后便由陆太太陪他到杜月笙的床前，由于杜维善喉梗咽塞，只好由陆京士一声声地喊： “先生！先生！维善来了！” 于是，杜月笙勉力地睁开了眼睛，他眼珠迟滞地望了杜维善和陆太太一眼，便乏力地合上，他残存的精力恍如一线游丝了。 一刻钟后，下午２点３０分，时任国民大会秘书长的洪兰友抵达坚尼地杜公馆，当即引起一阵欢呼，洪兰友面容肃穆，神情哀戚，他快步走进杜月笙的房间，一眼看见了躺在床上呼吸屏止的杜月笙，怔了一怔，以为他已来迟了一步。但是，围绕在杜月笙四周的亲友，还在急切地大呼小叫： “先生！先生！洪兰友来了！” 洪兰友看到杜月笙似乎还有点知觉，他为达成使命，连忙高声地在他耳边喊： “杜先生，总统对你的病十分关怀，希望你安心静养，早日康复。目前台湾一切有进步，国家前途一片光明，我们还是有希望的！” 这时，洪兰友只想杜月笙能在易箦之际，听得见他这几句话，在他一生艰辛奋斗的最后历程得一份慰藉，斯愿已足。谁知，杜月笙是在凝聚他每一分精力，等候着洪兰友的来，因此，他不但听清楚了洪兰友所说的每一句话，而且，他竟奋目迅张，睁开了一闭三日的眼睛，甚至，他伸出了自己那只颤抖不已的手，非常吃力地伸向洪兰友，和他紧紧地交握，与此同时，他清晰明白地说出了他在世最后的一句话： “好，好，大家有希望！”。 洪兰友的两行热泪，不可遏忍地抛落下来。 最后一个“望”字说完，杜月笙那只手松弛，垂落，眼睛又合，嘴唇紧闭，但是他仍在竭力挣礼，还想多说一两句，然而，气逆舌僵，他已语不成声了。 洪兰友忙再上前一步，大声地说： “杜先生的心事，我都明白，杜先生所没有说出来的此间友好可以转告我，我回台北以后，一定代为上达。” 这时，口眼紧闭的杜月笙，又艰难万分地点点头，两颗眼泪，逸出眼眶之外。 站在一旁，注视这一幕的钱新之情不自禁地一声长叹，热泪泉涌，他喃喃地说： “大家有希望，大家有希望，天啊！就是他没有希望了啊！” “什么就他没有了希望呀？”这时人群中的孟小冬突然发疯似地冲着他们大喊起来： “他不这么死心塌地跟着老蒋，会没希望吗？！” 众人大惊失色，有人慌忙要捂住她的口，但是，从她口里还是迸出了：“黄老爷子不是在上海还活得好好的吗？就是你们让他跟着老蒋逃出上海，踏上了不归路啊！” 孟小冬披头散发，大喊大叫，众人以为她这段时间被杜月笙死亡的阴影压得神经失常了，慌忙把她拖了出去。刚刚平息了这一幕，有人探手伸进被窝去摸摸杜月笙的脚，失口惊呼： “哎呀！脚已经凉了！” 但是他依然多拖了一天，毫无知觉，仅只呼吸迫促地多拖了一天，杜月笙拖到距离他生日不到２４小时的８月１６日，下午４时５０分，终于走完了这段漫长而艰苦的死亡历程，撒手尘圜。
