Her body was placed in the World Hall, which was the largest funeral hall at the time, covering an area of 5,000 square feet and capable of accommodating more than 1,000 people. A portrait of Weng Meiling is hung on the mourning hall. The horizontal plaque reads "Soul Return to Heaven", "Heaven's Jealous Beauty" and "Yin Rong Wan Li". The
mourning hall is packed with wreaths on both sides, which are enclosed with thick ropes. The wreath reads "Soul Return to Heaven", "Loss of Beauty", "Deep Miss" and so on. Some of the more special ones will be delivered by movie fans, and from the luxurious opera house where Aon performed his last performance in Singapore. Aweng once assisted the Red Cross in propaganda activities, so the Red Cross also sent a wreath of condolences.
Tang Zhenye sent two wreaths, written in Chinese and English respectively: "Dear Meiling, I will always love you."
Zou Shilong also sent a wreath with two lines of English written on it. An old fan of
spent five hours at night, rushing to make three posters and post them outside the funeral home. He used ten photos of Weng Meiling to form a broken heart and wrote: She seems to have a smile on her face, but her heart sad. He frequently told people that I made these posters, "very interesting, very interesting."
Aweng's body was lying peacefully in the coffin. Although his face was slightly swollen, it was still as beautiful as ever. The only mouth opened slightly, it seemed that there were a thousand words still wanting to speak, but he wanted to speak but stopped. The shroud worn by
is a white embroidered ancient costume that she wore. She wore a hand-patch in her left hand and a gravel cross in her right hand. Four pieces of jewellery and some of her beloved hairy dolls served as funerals. These were selected by Weng's mother and her relatives and friends at the Weng's house in the Broadcasting Daowei Jinyuan. The coffin used by
is an American-style copper-pickled dark brown peach wood coffin, and the gold characters engraved with Weng Meiling's name are shining. The inner cushion is white silk with a glass cover, which is worth more than 20,000 yuan. The funeral of
started at 7:00 in the morning, and during the funeral period at 12 noon, wreaths were still delivered continuously, and there was an endless stream of mourners. The mourning hall continuously plays religious songs. The front door of the World Funeral Home is already crowded. Several nearby streets have been blocked by crowds. A large number of police officers are present.
Due to physical reasons, Weng’s mother did not go to the funeral home to attend the funeral. She was hosted by the surrogate mother, Ms. Chen.
More than a hundred journalists in Hong Kong made the atmosphere of the mourning hall extremely tense. The press booths on both sides were full of murderous photographers. Whenever someone came up to mourn the funeral, the flashing lights came and went one after another, which was really daunting.
Hong Kong reporters have a trick, which is very useful. When a Chinese police officer saw that friends in the press were not keeping order, he stood up and said, "If you don't cooperate, we will take action." After the conversation, dozens of photographers suddenly appeared in front of him. He snapped a photo and took the picture, "please pay attention to today's newspaper". The police officer stayed in a daze and didn't take any further action.
