Ashes of Jiang Zemin Scattered into Sea

Ashes of beloved Comrade Jiang Zemin were scattered into the sea at the estuary of the Yangtze River on Sunday, in accordance with the wishes of Jiang himself and his family.
Entrusted by the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, Cai Qi, member of the Standing Committee of Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and secretary of the CPC Central Committee Secretariat, as well as other leaders and Jiang's families, escorted Jiang's cinerary casket to the sea.
At 08:10, Cai and other key members of Jiang Zemin's Funeral Committee accompanied Jiang's family to escort the cinerary casket out of the Zhongnanhai compound in Beijing.
Jiang's cinerary casket was escorted to the Beijing Xijiao Airport, where a special flight took the former Chinese leader's ashes to Shanghai after slowly circling around the capital Beijing with the casket as a tribute to his dedication to the country.
Jiang's cinerary casket arrived in Shanghai at 11:05, and was escorted to a military harbor, where troops and vessels paid highest respects as navy frigate Yangzhou departed the harbor with Jiang's ashes.
Frigate Yangzhou arrived at the estuary at 12:35. Cai Qi, Jiang's widow Wang Yeping and other members of his family, scattered Jiang's ashes to the sea.
Jiang passed away in Shanghai on Nov. 30 at the age of 96. He was cremated on Dec. 5 in Beijing.
Jiang was a great Marxist, a great proletarian revolutionary, statesman, military strategist and diplomat, a long-tested communist fighter, and an outstanding leader of the great cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics. He was the core of the third generation of central collective leadership of the Communist Party of China and the principal founder of the Theory of Three Represents.
