[The Epoch Times, November 3, 2023]On November 2, the body of former Chinese Communist Party Premier Li Keqiang was cremated in Beijing. Li Keqiang’s daughter, who has never been seen, also sent a wreath, but did not write her name, and her true appearance could not be confirmed in the official media footage. The details of Li Keqiang’s wife Cheng Hong’s handshake with Xi Jinping aroused discussion.
Yesterday (2nd), in the center of Li Keqiang’s mourning hall at Babaoshan Cemetery in Beijing, a heart-shaped flower basket made of white flowers read: “You will always be with us, presented by Cheng Hong with her daughter,” but her daughter’s name was not written. .

Li Keqiang and Cheng Hong have a daughter. She has always kept a low profile and has not appeared in public. Her name is not known to the outside world. Information on the Internet shows that Li Keqiang’s daughter was admitted to Peking University after graduating from Beijing No. 4 Middle School, and later studied at Harvard University in the United States.
The CCTV news broadcast of Cheng Hong receiving condolences deleted the scenes of other family members. Judging from the photos taken by mourners at the scene, there is a woman standing next to Cheng Hong, who is suspected to be Li Keqiang’s daughter, but her face cannot be seen clearly in the picture.

The Chinese Communist Party officially released a video of Li Keqiang’s farewell ceremony that day. The body language of Li Keqiang’s wife Cheng Hong when shaking hands with senior CCP officials sparked discussion among the outside world.
The video showed that Xi Jinping and Cheng Hong shook hands for a very short time, and neither party said a word. Cheng Hong glanced at Xi Jinping and quickly turned her head to the side; when shaking hands with other members of the Standing Committee, Cheng Hong mostly nodded in response. Cai Qi and Zhao Leji shook hands with Cheng Hong with one hand.
Current affairs commentator Li Muyang said in the “News Watch” program that Xi Jinping’s expression was relatively serious. When Cheng Hong shook hands with him, she only glanced up at Xi and then lowered her head. It is impossible to know her mental state at that time, but she took a glance at Xi and it should be said that she understood everything.

Li Keqiang has been prime minister for ten years, but his power has been eclipsed by Xi Jinping. Just over seven months after his retirement, he died suddenly in Shanghai, triggering a lot of speculation from the outside world. It is generally believed that Li Keqiang’s death is directly or indirectly related to the struggle within the Chinese Communist Party. Many people pointed the finger at Xi Jinping.
On November 2, Li Keqiang’s body was cremated at the Babaoshan Cemetery in Beijing. The Beijing authorities, as if facing a formidable enemy, dispatched a large number of police and men in black to control the area around the Babaoshan Cemetery and along Chang’an Street in Beijing, restricting the passage of vehicles and people.
