Elderly Parents Have Stored Son’s Body in Freezer For 6 Years
In 2006, the son of Chongqing City Kai County Fengle Street HUangling Village resident Tian Xueming passed away from leukemia. Tian Xueming stored his son’s body in the freezer, and 6 years have passed. Every time he misses [his son], Tian Xueming and his wife will quietly go, with their arms around each other, stand beside the freezer, look blankly for a moment, and then leave. Tian Xueming says his son “in the freezer looks exactly as he did when he was alive. My son is still with me, and has never left.”
September 25th, Kai County Fengle Street Huangling Village, this is the freezer where Tian Qinyuan’s body is stored, where his father Tian Xueming can go take a look at him when he misses him.
15 years ago, Tian Xueming’s 15-year-old daughter passed away from heatstroke. 6 years ago, his son also departed from the living due to leukemia. TIan Xueming and his wife experienced the pain of two funerals within a 10 year span. Gazing at the lonely freezer placed in the corner, Tian Xueming shed tears, “this may be wrong, but the pain of two funerals, my pain, it’s something others can’t understand.”
