Today is a sad day for the people of Tuvalu as the funeral of the former king is scheduled to take place today.
Although the people of Tuvalu had already grieved once when the former king's plane crashed, that didn't mean they would be able to laugh as usual at the funeral.
Tuvalu is poor and barren.
But the people of Tuvalu are happy, and the source of this happiness is not material, but spiritual.
Facing the sea, spring flowers are blooming.
It's a well-known poet's pursuit, and for the people of Tuvalu, it's something they've been born with.
Although there is no industry in the country, all the necessities of life can be solved by imports when the former king tries his best.
Many people who have been defeated by the complexity of society hope to have a pure land without strife, where they can live in seclusion for a long time, and rest at sunrise and sunset, this kind of life is born in Tuvaluan.
It's fair to say that few people in Tuvalu would have been willing to leave this paradise if it weren't for the lack of vegetables as a necessity and the imminent inundation of the sea because of rising sea levels.
Today is the funeral of the former king, who has been working hard to provide them with a living guarantee.
The whole country mourns In fact, there was nothing special about this funeral, and there was no red tape.
It can be said that like every deceased Tuvaluan funeral, it can also be said that it is not as good as the funeral of ordinary Tuvaluans.
See the remains, then cremate them and scatter the ashes out into the sea.
This is the funeral of an ordinary Tuvaluan, while the funeral of the former king basically omits the procedure of viewing the remains, because the former king died in a plane crash, so there is no body.
Tuvalu's short history and poverty have prevented Tuvalu from developing any etiquette worthy of mention.
When Li Daniu received the funeral process book submitted by Burns, he could only secretly sigh in his heart, and he could only think about it when he was warm.
Tuvalu, struggling to get on the food line, is not qualified to pursue anything beyond its means.
"Wouldn't it be too simple" Li Daniu pointed to the plan, remembering the funerals that expressed the filial piety of the descendants in the Celestial Empire in the past.
"Your Royal Highness, the old king arranged it before his death, everything is simple, there is no need to waste money on a deceased person."
Burns looked at Li Daniu, who was frowning, and said patiently: "Your Royal Highness, I know that you hope to make the old king go a little more beautiful, but I believe that if the old king can see it in the spirit of heaven, then he must want to see it the most, and we can use more of the money for his funeral to the people of Tuvalu." ” I just think that I can be regarded as inheriting a country from someone else, so I'm embarrassed and want to do more.
When Li Daniu heard Burns's words, he stamped and signed the plan by taking the steps.
"How many foreign guests can be determined" Li Daniu wanted to know in advance, so he was a little prepared, after all, strictly speaking, this was the first time he went to meet foreign guests as the head of a country.
"There's the foreign minister of Fiji, the foreign minister of New Zealand, and a parliamentarian from Australia."
When Burns said this, he didn't feel embarrassed at all, to be honest, he was already very surprised that these people could come, thinking that when the old king was alive, he wanted to see foreign officials of the same level as these people, not only to line up to make an appointment, but also to meet him.
A weak country has no diplomacy.
Li Daniu doesn't know why he likes to sigh so much recently, think about the Great Celestial Empire, find a random name to hold a meeting, and most of the leaders of Asia will have to come over, even those world-class powers, they have to honestly send important people over, and even the leaders will directly participate.
And the funeral of the king of Tuvalu, which can be said to be the biggest event since the founding of Tuvalu, only came these shrimp soldiers and crab generals Of course, these people who are called shrimp soldiers and crab generals by Li Daniu are actually much stronger than the current Li Daniu in terms of wealth and power, and it can even be said that they are not comparable at all.
In Li Daniu's opinion, the funeral, which was very simple, was held as scheduled.
Li Daniu, who wore the most expensive set of clothes in his life, felt uncomfortable all over.
Because the weather is really too hot, this suit is the king's formal attire again, not only thick, but also with some messy ornaments on it.
When I met those foreign guests at the funeral home before, I was better and turned on the air conditioner.
Now Li Daniu led the team to the beach where the ashes were scattered, feeling that the clothes on his body were wet with sweat and then steamed and dried, and then wet.
Luckily, Tuvalu was very small, and just when Li Daniu was about to lose his hold, he finally arrived at the beach.
Foreign guests came and went in a hurry, and only the citizens of Tuvalu were left at the funeral scene.
Li Daniu looked behind him, completely crowded.
Didn't it mean that there were only 11,000 people left in Tuvalu, could it be that people from all over the country came?
In the mourning music played by a small orchestra invited from Fiji, Li Daniu strictly followed the procedures explained by Burns before, and scattered the ashes of the old king into the sea with his own hands, saying that the ashes were actually just some of the clothes and items used by the old king before, and I don't know how to burn these things to ashes.
The wind direction is good, and the ashes that Li Daniu was worried about were blown by the sea breeze did not happen.
At this point, the funeral was basically over, but Li Daniu found that none of the people standing nearby left, nor did anyone cry.
"Burns, did you confess" Li Daniu was a little skeptical.
"Your Royal Highness, except for a few hundred people who have been hired by the government, no one has arranged for anyone else to come over, they should have done it spontaneously."
Burns was also surprised by what was happening in front of him.
"Then what should I do now" Li Daniu asked a little embarrassed, he wanted to go back directly to blow the air conditioner, but he felt that it was not appropriate to abandon so many people on the scene.
"Why don't you say a few words?"
You didn't prepare lines for me to say two sentences, what am I talking about Li Daniu doesn't believe that he has the ability to play on the spot now.

"Let's make a sample first."
Li Daniu has always believed that professional problems should be solved by professionals, otherwise why should I give you a salary Burns, who had received orders from his boss, cleared his throat and began to shout loudly.
"Dear people of Tuvalu, although we are saddened by the passing of the old king, we should believe that our future, under the leadership of Prince Tarek, will certainly be better.
Now, I would like to invite our Prince Tarek to give you a few words. ” Damn, where did you learn your strong host style on the big country stage?
Because he didn't prepare a sound or anything in advance, and it was in an open place like the seaside with the sound of waves, Li Daniu had to shout like Burns.
"Although this is my country, it is actually the common country of all Tuvaluan people, although we have been going through all kinds of hardships, but I believe that we Tuvaluans will never give in to these difficulties, and we will definitely overcome all the difficulties that come before us and create a better future for our future generations."
Li Daniu didn't know how many people could hear his shout, but he searched his intestines and scraped his stomach, so he could hold back such a few words.
The sparse applause rang out, and Li Daniu took a closer look, and the people who applauded were basically people hired by the government.
Other Tuvaluan nationals at the scene did not respond, but began to leave the funeral scene one after another.
"Your Royal Highness, let's go back too."
Burns made a timely suggestion.
Li Daniu saw that the onlookers had begun to disperse, and finally walked back at Burns's suggestion.
It's not really hot on the beach, because of the sea water and the occasional gust of sea breeze.
What Li Daniu was afraid of was that if he walked to the road where he couldn't see the sea for a while, he would sweat profusely again.
When passing by some people who were still standing there looking at the sea, Li Daniu secretly began to look at the expressions of those people.
Li Daniu always felt that it was a very difficult skill to see something in the eyes of anyone, but when he saw the eyes of one after another, standing solemnly in the direction of the sea, he actually saw a trace of sadness and despair in the eyes of those people.
They didn't cry, or even have expressionless faces, but the feeling of sadness unconsciously emanated from the solemn posture.
Yes, even I, an outsider, felt a little sad when I saw the information that those old kings were working hard outside, not to mention the people these old kings were running around trying to save Li Daniu had already rummaged through all the relics left by his body, even a diary, but he had no assets other than the necessary expenses of life.
Mansion sports cars Some of the things that the rich second generation of the Great Heavenly Dynasty must buy after going abroad, this Prince Tarek has nothing, lives in a dormitory, eats in the cafeteria, and even needs to fight for a scholarship at Harvard University.
Li Daniu couldn't understand why a king would treat his only heir so harshly.
Although it is said that poverty raises children, the concept of poverty is relative.
Can the poor children of billionaires and the poor children of families living on the subsistence line be the same, besides, as the head of a country, no matter how poor you are, your financial expenses will be tens of millions of dollars a year, can't you give more to your own children You are a monarchy, and the whole country belongs to you.
And at this moment, seeing these people who spontaneously stood here to see off the old king, Li Daniu felt as if he understood a little, it is precisely because this country belongs to the old king, so he has the responsibility and obligation to be responsible for these Tuvalu people.
And now, I have inherited this country, and I have inherited this responsibility, perhaps, relying on the system, I can bring a richer material life to the people of this country.
However, Li Daniu couldn't help but ask himself: "Do you have the ability to gain such respect?"
