Portrait of Cheng Xiuying from when she was about 68 years old

KAIZHOU, Jiaozhi -- Cheng Xiuying of Clan Cheng has passed away over this weekend, although the news has just been released to the public. The 94 year old mother of the Cheng family's head: Cheng Yuhan was reported to have passed away peacefully in her sleep. Nonetheless this might come as a surprise to many people here in Kaizhou, who knew Xiuying from her famed youthful face and beautiful art. The family will be holding a public burial ceremony for her, with all welcome to come. Clan Cheng's Yuhan also came out with a statement:

"The Cheng family has been in, and will be in mourning for some time. It is always terrible to see a loved one ripped away from the world of the living, in any family. Due to the popularity my mother saw in this city, and the fact that she considered many of you family, Clan Cheng will be opening up her burial ceremony for the public to attend. This will allow anyone who wishes to pay their respects to do so, as well as join us in mourning. But, even when we are in pain, we must continue to look forward. Therefore Clan Cheng will be establishing and fully funding a new project in Kaizhou: The Cheng Xiuying Center of Traditional Jiaozhi Arts. Hopefully this will be a way to memorialize my mother, and educate the next generation on some of the things she loved most."

The center has already been planned out in extensive detail. The building, located at Lan Hua park, will consist of a museum and educational center. From an unnamed inside source we have managed to learn that the museum will contain a beautifully accurate representation of a traditional Jiaozhi village, palace, and garden. Cheng Yuhan has also mentioned that the family plans to begin construction soon, and upon completion the center will be completely free to the public.

Rough plan for the Cheng Xiuying Center of Jiaozhi Arts
