The so-called tour around the city was actually just circling around the central urban area, with the final detour leading to the crematorium.
In the end, a wisp of blue smoke ascended to heaven.
Lin Chuan had been kneeling at the entrance, waiting...
Tang Yumeng and others also knelt down with Lin Chuan at the entrance, until a black urn was handed out from that cold window.

Within the public cemetery, Lin Chuan stood amid the graves, the plot before him had been hastily purchased for a hefty sum, securing the largest and finest piece of land. The tombstone was inlaid with his mother's picture, which carried a kindly and friendly smile.
Lin Chuan gently caressed the photo, finding it hard to believe that in just a few short days, heaven and earth had become separated.
"Lin Chuan, please restrain your grief," Tang Yumeng said by his side.
