Today, Jin Yong's funeral was held at Hong Kong Funeral Home.
A condolence area is set up in the Jin Yong Hall of the Hong Kong Heritage Museum for the public to sign condolence books.
Andy Lau , Tung Chee-hwa, Jack Ma, Johnnie To, Xu Anhua, Zhong Chuhong and other people from all walks of life sent wreaths and elegiac couplets, which was very solemn.
83-year-old Ni Kuang also appeared at the funeral. He was supported on a cane and walked into the mourning hall with a sad expression, shaking his head constantly.
Previously Ni Kuang said that he would not attend Jin Yong’s funeral, “Seeing that Cha needs me too much, if she doesn’t need me, I won’t go. Tens of thousands of people are vying to go. I think everyone has left, what’s the point of going, I I don’t understand why he has to send me the last farewell. Do you want to send me to accompany him?”
also explained that he never attends funerals, “I never go to funerals, wedding banquets and birthday drinks. I don’t like it at all. I hate the excitement very much. He has autistic tendencies and likes to hide at home, even if he doesn't go out on the streets for a week. "
also commented that Jin Yong is "a first-rate friend and a ninth-rate boss."
Ni Kuang was accused by fans of being too cold, "He was not sad at all after Mr. Cha passed away." He said: "Everyone has to die. Death is inevitable. How can I be sad if he dies at the age of 90? I should be sad if he dies at the age of 19! His life was brilliant, what should I be sad about? I am already 80. People of a certain age are almost done playing, and their lives are in danger.”
