In the winter of 1972, when Grandfather passed away, Zheng Kai also followed him to study in Hei Province.
It turned out that Zheng Kai was grateful; during the years he was away from home, he always helped take care of the elderly.
He expressed more warmth and care during the illness than he himself had done.
Although he sent food home every month, the elder's body had been too depleted over the previous decade, and it was too late to compensate later on.
So, two years after Zheng Long brought Zheng Kai back home, Grandfather passed away. It was regrettable that he couldn't return home then to manage the funeral.
The entire process was helped by villagers; after he finished his duties and returned, he specifically bought gifts and went door to door to express his gratitude.
Then, the Zheng Family's old house was given to the village to use as an activity center, as they likely would only return to visit Grandfather's grave and not live there anymore.
