According to “Sing Tao” report. This morning, the authorities implemented traffic control in the area near the Chinese Communist Military General Hospital (301 Hospital) where Li Keqiang’s body is stored, and notices were posted in nearby residential areas to remind residents of the traffic control arrangements. Among them, the exit from the community along Fuxingmen to Chang’an Street was temporarily blocked.
At about 8 o’clock, traffic control was also implemented on the streets near Babaoshan Cemetery. The gate of the cemetery was guarded by security personnel, and only those invited with an obituary notice could enter. Many passers-by gathered on the nearby streets, but the scene was very quiet.
At 9:15, dozens of domestically produced Hongqi limousines entered Babaoshan Cemetery. It is believed that the cars were all important guests.
At 9:20, many passers-by gathered near Babaoshan Cemetery. Officials are on heightened alert.
Videos leaked online showed police and plainclothes men on both sides of Chang’an Avenue. The police urged the people to “Go back! Go back!” When Li Keqiang’s hearse passed by, some people shouted, “Go away, Prime Minister!”
A large number of people also gathered at the entrance of Babaoshan Cemetery. The police at the scene kept urging people to “leave quickly!” “Hurry up! Let’s go!”
“Sing Dao” also captured footage of plainclothes police checking the identity of an old man holding a white flower in the crowd.
Xinhuanet, the official media of the Communist Party of China, issued a one-sentence report that morning, “On November 2, in memory of Comrade Li Keqiang, flags were flown at half-mast at Tiananmen Square in the capital,” and attached two related photos. In addition, there are no reports about Li Keqiang on the home page.
“Flags at half-mast in Tiananmen Square in memory of Li Keqiang” quickly became the top trending topic on Weibo that morning, with tens of thousands of netizens leaving messages such as “Sorrowful condolences” and “I burst into tears, so reluctant to part with you.” However, it is worth noting that the comments at the bottom of many related Weibo posts only show “Blogger’s selected comments” or “Some comments have been filtered”, and no more comments from netizens can be seen.
At 3 p.m., Xinhuanet reported that Li Keqiang’s body was cremated in Beijing, and Xi Jinping went to Babaoshan Cemetery to bid farewell. According to reports, Xi Jinping and his wife Peng Liyuan, Li Qiang, Zhao Leji, Wang Huning, Cai Qi, Ding Xuexiang, Li Xi, Han Zheng and others were on hand to bid farewell, and Hu Jintao sent a wreath. The picture accompanying the report is a photo of Xi Jinping shaking hands with Li Keqiang’s wife Cheng Hong.
At this time, “Comrade Li Keqiang’s Life” and “Comrade Li Keqiang’s Life Photos” were listed next to the headlines.
In reports introducing Li Keqiang’s life, Xi Jinping’s name appeared eight times.
Xinhuanet always maintains color images instead of black and white images that symbolize mourning.
