[Reporter Lin Nangu/Reporting from Taipei] The 71-year-old veteran artist Zheng Pingjun became popular for his performances in classic works such as "The Strange Case of Shi Gong" and "Chinese Folktales". His 8-year-old brother died suddenly at his home due to myocardial infarction on the 24th of last month. Faced with the sudden separation, Zheng Pingjun endured his grief and rushed to deal with his younger brother's funeral.

Zheng Pingjun presided over a ceremony last Friday morning to send off his younger brother on his last journey. He deeply regretted his failure to take good care of his younger brother. He recalled that in addition to gathering together for 40 years to sweep the graves of his parents who never stopped, his younger brother regularly came to his house every year on the first day of the new year to celebrate the Spring Festival together. It was rare for us to get together several times a year. Now, the moment after he left, it filled his mind. Everything seemed so close but far away yesterday.

Zheng Pingjun revealed that his brother was a devout Buddhist and never married. Fortunately, he was his eldest brother, eldest sister, eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law and the descendants of the Zheng family to see him off. "Although he has no children, he is finally happy and not lonely!"

Recalling that he was born in a poor family, Zheng Ping had an older sister, and three brothers who worked hard all their lives and were happy in their later years. "But because we were all busy with ourselves, we neglected this little brother. I feel very regretful... If I could share with him my hobbies, such as playing basketball, diving, swimming, martial arts, and cycling... when I was busy, he would not have a myocardial infarction and leave instantly."

Zheng Pingjun lamented that he was old and his two younger brothers were no longer here. He considered himself an elder brother without any younger brothers. From now on, he could only keep all his thoughts deep in his heart and accompany him until the end.
