Coco Lee’s 84-year-old mother did not show up at the farewell ceremony because of the custom that white-haired people cannot send black-haired people. Her husband Bruce showed up with his two daughters yesterday (July 31) in a low-key manner. In the second row, I didn’t sit in the family seats in the first row, and left after staying for 2 hours. In addition, after the farewell ceremony, Coco Lee’s eldest and second sisters also burst into tears hugging their male friends, shouting “he took my sister away” and “he killed my sister” excitedly several times, but the live broadcast quickly silenced it.
In the previously exposed farewell ceremony process, there are a total of eight spirit supporters of Coco Lee CoCo, including brother-in-law He Jinlin, Yao Qian, Zhen Ni, Jonathan Serbin (Warner Music executive), Peng Wenhui, Yang Yang (host), Li Baimin and Feng Yumuzhuang. All the process is live-streamed on the YouTube channel.
