The funeral had been arranged in advance, and Chien's mother was buried in a cemetery in Huangpi the next day, resting on the land of their hometown.
According to Chien, his parents often traveled back and forth between the Chinese mainland and Taiwan to reunite with their loved ones after the resumption of civil exchanges across the Taiwan Strait.
Chien's father, who died of illness in 2001, was also buried in his hometown of Huangpi.
"Our roots are in the mainland," Chien's mother frequently told her children before she died.
Under the guidance of their mother, Chien and his brother developed their careers on the mainland. They also maintained close contact with their relatives and friends in Huangpi.
