1960, Mei Lanfang was very famous at that time and was loved and welcomed by the people all over the country, so his schedule was full and he was busy every day. At that time, Mei Lanfang always felt uncomfortable, and her chest felt stuffy from time to time. At first, she thought it was stomach trouble, but she just ate some medicated wine and went on working. No one expected that this was directly related to Mei Lanfang's death.
The following summer, Mei Lanfang died of illness. At that time, his illness was actually very serious. His chest is not only stuffy, but also painful. Later, I went to a hospital in Beijing for examination, only to know that it was angina pectoris. Shortly after the examination, Mei Lanfang's illness broke out again and she received emergency treatment in the hospital. After expert consultation, it was finally determined that Mei Lanfang's illness was acute coronary infarction. Under the care of Premier Zhou and the full rescue of doctors, Mei Lanfang's condition stabilized. But what everyone didn't expect was that the next morning, Teacher Mei Lanfang died without warning.
The address of Mei Lanfang Cemetery is Wanhua next to Beijing Xishan Botanical Garden. The cemetery covers an area of not too big, only over 30 square meters. The tombstone is made of white marble, and there are only five extremely simple words "Mei Lanfang's Tomb" on it, as well as the birth and death time of Mei Lanfang. The road in front of Mei Lanfang cemetery is paved with plum blossoms, and the surrounding walls are also engraved with plum blossoms.
It is worth mentioning that the cemetery of Master Mei Lanfang was designed by his eldest son, with plum blossoms carved in stone as the main element. The patterns carved on the wall and the stones on the road are enough to show his nostalgia and deep feelings for his father Mei Lanfang.
