Some twenty mourning family members were burning paper offerings for Fu when reporters arrived at her home in a village in Sichuan Province. These people are the second, third and fourth generations of Fu’s family. “It happened too suddenly, no one ever expected it so soon,” Leng Ting, Gu’s great granddaughter told reporters. “It was just yesterday when she took several bites of her favorite pork dish, and used her fan to cool down my cousin.”
Fu lived a frugal life that spanned more than a century. She always wore clothes made from her favorite blue coarse cloth, and enjoyed eating simple dishes of meat, fruit and wheats and grains the most. Even after she became a centenarian she still carried on with her typical daily routine – stacking firewood and cleaning her yard.
Many of Fu’s descendants could not make it back to her home as she passed away. But those who were able to take care of her in her final days spoke of how they wanted her “to leave in peace.”
