The guards reveal the decomposition of Chiang Kai-shek's body
It has been 48 years since Chiang Kai-shek's death, but his body is still stored in Taiwan and has not yet been buried. One can't help but wonder, how decomposing is his body? And why did he insist on not allowing future generations to bury him?
Let's take a look at the mystery together.
In April 1975, Chiang Kai-shek's life entered its last month. His son, Chiang Ching-kuo, came to visit him as usual and reported to him. Just as he was about to leave, Chiang Kai-shek suddenly stopped him, held his hand tightly, and told him to take care of his health.
This struck Chiang Ching-kuo as a little unusual, for Chiang Kai-shek had rarely uttered such words in their previous dealings. After a few brief exchanges, Chiang Ching-kuo left, but felt a little uneasy in his heart.
That night, after Chiang Ching-kuo was busy with the matter at hand, he immediately rushed to his father's side. Seeing that his father's complexion was still good, he breathed a sigh of relief. After he left, Chiang Kai-shek went home for dinner as usual, and asked his guards to push him for a walk in the nearby garden.
However, when he returned to his room, his condition suddenly deteriorated, the alarm bell rang in the room, and the doctor rushed to the scene. After emergency rescue, his condition still did not improve. Chiang Ching-kuo learned the news that his father was critically ill and immediately rushed to his room.
After two hours of emergency resuscitation, doctors pronounced Chiang Kai-shek dead at the age of 88. This is the leader of Rong Ma's life, and this is the end of his life.
After Chiang Kai-shek's death, his body was temporarily placed in Cihu, a place that closely resembles the scenery of his hometown of Fenghua, Zhejiang, and he would come here for a while whenever he missed his hometown in his later years.
After the memorial service, how to properly dispose of Chiang Kai-shek's body became a difficult problem to solve. According to Chiang Kai-shek's last wishes, he wanted to bury himself on the land of his hometown, and before his death, he tried his last strength to instruct his son Chiang Ching-kuo not to bury him immediately after his death, and to ensure that the coffin would not fall to the ground.
He hopes that when the situation becomes clear, future generations will be able to move his body back to his hometown in Fenghua, Zhejiang Province for burial with his mother. However, the conditions did not allow the body to be transported back to Fenghua's hometown in a short period of time, and it would be difficult to preserve it if it was not properly disposed of.
It was suggested that the body should be embalmed, but after research and research, it was found that this was not an easy task. The mortuary said that if he wanted to be embalmed, his internal organs must be removed first, which was unacceptable to the Jiang family.
According to the old people who buried Chiang Kai-shek at that time, their families could not harm the body of the deceased, because they knew that Chiang Kai-shek had experienced too many setbacks and ups and downs when he was alive, and they hoped that he could go completely and well, which was the greatest respect for him.
After Chiang Kai-shek's death, because he didn't have time to make a crystal coffin, he first injected the body with ***, and then put it into the copper coffin, but the body could only be preserved for four to six months at most.
Now, 48 years have passed since Chiang Kai-shek's death, and if his coffin were opened now, it would be impossible to see inside.
Perhaps, this is why Chiang Kai-shek's body is no longer available for viewing. He died many years ago, but the coffin was never buried, which is undoubtedly sad.
The reason why he made such a decision was completely out of deep nostalgia for his hometown. In his will, he not only asked to ensure that the coffin did not fall to the ground, but also asked his descendants to put on seven underwear and seven pairs of pants to bury him after his death, which was a custom in his hometown of Fenghua, Zhejiang, which they believed would allow the soul to return to his hometown after death.
From this will, we can see how deep Chiang Kai-shek's longing for his hometown is. Although his remains are still preserved in Cihu, Taiwan, we firmly believe that one day his remains will return to his homeland.
