On Thursday, a heartfelt ceremony unfolded at the Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery in Beijing, marking the cremation of Ragdi, the esteemed former vice chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People\u0027s Congress. In a mood both reflective and respectful, top leaders from the Chinese mainland—including Xi Jinping, Li Qiang, Zhao Leji, Wang Huning, Cai Qi, Ding Xuexiang, and Li Xi—gathered to pay their final respects.
Ragdi, who passed away on June 6 at the age of 87 after battling an illness, was celebrated for his lifelong dedication. Recognized as an excellent member of the Communist Party of China, a loyal communist soldier, a distinguished leader in ethnic affairs and socialist legal system development, and an exceptional son of the Tibetan people, his contributions touched many lives.
Amid soft, solemn music, the dignitaries walked slowly toward his resting place, offered three respectful bows, and extended heartfelt condolences to his family. This touching tribute highlighted a deep sense of unity and the enduring spirit of service.
For young readers and change-makers alike, Ragdi\u0027s legacy stands as a shining example of dedication and leadership—reminding us all to value commitment and community. 🙏✨
