Chinese Communist Party officials have privileges after death? A cemetery in Changzhou, Jiangsu set up a “cadres area”, “overseas Chinese area”

A cemetery in Changzhou, Jiangsu set up a “cadre area”, “overseas Chinese area”.

In the midst of great controversy, the district cemetery office responded, saying that the cemetery was set up in 1984, when local advocates of cremation, local old leaders have taken the lead in the cemetery to focus on the ashes, because there are many old cadres buried here, the people used to call it “cadres area”. The official stressed that the “cadre area” of the cemetery in the sale of the identity of the purchaser does not make requirements, “there is no cadres only open”.

The official said that after the transformation of the cemetery this year, many families in the old cemetery reflect that they can not find their ancestral graves, so in the old cemetery set up a name plate to facilitate the public ancestral worship, and to “take care of the old people” habit, set up “cadres area”, “overseas Chinese area “signage.

The cemetery office apologized for the misunderstanding and promised to rename the two cemetery areas. The mainland Chinese media went to the cemetery again to see, the relevant name plates have also been removed.

However, some netizens still chortle, “When you live as a cadre, you die as a ghost. I think that cadre area of the sign should not be removed, should be left to future generations to look at, so that future generations understand the past decades of money first, power first this history!”
